The third soloalbum from NPJ is an album for heavy metal lovers and history nerds. Every song is like an adventure in itself and Nils Patrik's band mate from Lion's Share, Lars Chriss has made an incredible job as a producer and as the guitarist and bassplayer on the album.

Nils Patrik comments about the album: "I am so proud of this album and the fact that I finally got my Gustav Vasa song out to the world. My fans have been waiting. I'm also proud of Lars for his great work, for my son Fredrik for his amazing drum playing and also for Anuviel for the high quality keyboard arrangements. Also a big thanks to Tommy Denander for his efforts."
