In a 2004 interview with Metal Rules, guitarist Olof Mörck talked to Anders Sandvall, and in the interview Mörck goes into detail about the "The Book of Shadows" trilogy and the story behind the songs:
The song "Calling My Name" contains sound clips by Charles Manson from the March 7, 1986 San Quentin Prison interview with Charlie Rose for CBS News Nightwatch.
"The Shores of Our Land" tells the story of a group of Vikings returning home after a successful battle. It includes a feast scene in the middle, which was recorded by a very intoxicated Dragonland[1].
