The man behind Valontuoja, Jal’zoroth comments on the single:
“This haunting track channels the raw, primal force of exile and unrelenting longing, set against the desolate beauty of Finland’s unyielding wilderness. The lyrics, dripping with sorrow and defiance, narrate the torment of a soul exiled from its homeland… Aching for the harsh cliffs, icy lakes, and untamed rivers that once offered solace.”
