In order that was what we did. We wrote and recorded Manifestum Infernalis, however Hail Down Deep has all the time been a private favourite of ours and we’re actually excited to lastly have it launched. Since our line-up has modified a bit we felt it could be most honest to the present line-up to let Henric Serholt step as much as the microphone and re-record vocals for the album. He’s and was again then our lyricist so it was a pure development for us.
