4.I know that the name 'Nidhoggr' comes from Norse Mythology and Paganism, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in this topics?
Hvedrungr: Not much else to tell except that this is what I am interested in. Especially the parts about Ragnarök which kind of (using metaphors) portrays whats happening to the world right now. Then world will end and we will all die. When? Who knows. How? No one knows. We will probably destroy ourselves though... But since we don't know (yes... no one knows, you kan only believe) there is no point worrying. Just embrace the fact and live your lives until the day comes. You may not even notice it. It might just be like someone... just shuts of the light.
