This was the last band I discovered while I was attending Bryant HS, 13 years ago. I think. I was searching for Viking Metal and Waitain came up. I thought they were bad ass but never got around to it. Kinda what happened with Gamma Ray (man that’s gonna have to be a whole other comic). Anyway many years go by and like a year ago they were on TMZ, showering people with blood. I see upside down crosses, candles, goats and bones. A change of faith? Then it hit me, I am an idiot. When the Christians were spreading the faith to the Pagans north of European tribes, the deities themselves were demonized by the Christians (maybe Catholics? What do I know). So these tribes used to dress up like demons, make sacrifices , cover themselves in blood; just to scare the Christians away from Crom.
This is all speculation, obviously I am not a bad ass archaeologist.
