This release was first conceptualized in 2009, when Bunkur approached Mordor with the proposal that the two bands collaborate and each contribute a single track in the form of a reinterpreted version of a song originally written and performed by a classic metal band.
For its contribution, Bunkur chose Carnivore's "The Subhuman," as released on the band's first recording, "Demo '84." With the original song clocking in at just over eleven minutes.
Mordor, on the other hand, chose to reinvent "In League with Satan," a song the band considers to be the heaviest from the immortal Venom's debut album, "Welcome to Hell." Mordor has not only extended the song from its original three-and-a-half minutes to a previously-unimaginable sixteen-and-a-half minutes, but it has also rebranded the song "In League with Wotan." Beyond simply renaming the track, its thematic focus has appropriately shifted from one of Satanism to one of reverence toward northern Germanic tradition and is thus dedicated to the Lord of Valhalla. Despite the fact that numerous other bands had already covered "In League with Satan," Mordor's version incorporates a dramatically new arrangement and rewritten lyrics to match its shift in theme.
