Thyrfing was formed in 1995 in Stockholm, and their lyrical themes and aesthetics are strongly rooted in Nordic mythology. The band's name itself refers to a legendary sword, central to the Tyrfing Cycle of poems, and is visible in the band's logo. "Vanagandr" is an alternative name for the apocalyptic wolf Fenrir, and is depicted in the album's cover art, which was designed by prolific Swedish artist Niklas Sundin of Dark Tranquility fame:
