The melody is a mixture of Nordic national tunes and even national dance music. In addition to high-speed rotation, the old-fashioned heavy metal gameplay has also been added. In terms of lyrics, except for the Viking culture mentioned, most of them use their mother tongue instead of English, and set up ancient Nordic characters, showing a strong sense of pride in their own nation.
