Rob Engvikson and Cancer part ways.
Myself and Cancer have indeed gone our seperate ways. I wish John & Carl all the success in the world, and have had a great time with them(albeit quite a short time). I made a good many friends in my short time with Cancer, and shall keep in touch with them all. People are gonna ask why me and Cancer went our seperate ways, so I will briefly state why. Cancer are a Superb Midlands Metal band, that required a damn good Lead Guitarist. I tried to fill that role, but I was never confortable being LEAD Guitarist. After all, I have ALWAYS been a Rhythm Guitarist / Vocalist. In the end, It was Mutually decided that I go back to concentrating on my Solo project, Asatru. John & Carl wanted to give me a chance, after being a friend of theirs for so long, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. It was a great trip :) So now I go back to what I do best, Vikings, Rhythm Guitar and Vocals. Asatru is again my Main focus, and I hope to hit the road again sometime soon, for a 'Tour of Fire'. Viking RegardsRob Engvikson

It is a deplorable fact that the religion of our forefathers seems to be but little cared for in this country. The mythologies of other nations every student manifests an interest for. He reads with the greatest zeal all the legends of Rome and Greece, of India and China. He is familiar with every room in the labyrinth of Crete, while when he is introduced to the shining halls of Valhalla and Gladsheim he gropes his way like a blind man. He does not know that Idun with her beautiful apples, might, if applied to, render even greater services than Ariadne with her wonderful thread.

When we inquire whom Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday are named after, and press questions in reference to Tyr, Odin, Thor, and Freyja, we get at best but a wise and knowing look. Are we, then, as a nation, like the ancient Jews, and do we bend the knee before the gods of foreign nations and forsake the altars of our own gods? What if we then should suffer the fate of that unhappy people---be scattered over all the world and lose our fatherland?

In these Eddas our fathers have bequeathed unto us all their profoundest, all their sublimest, all their best thought. They are the concentrated result of their greatest intellectual and spiritual effort, and it behoves us to cherish this treasure and make it the fountain at which the whole English branch of the Ygdrasil ash may imbibe a united national sentiment. It is not enough to brush the dust off these gods and goddesses of our ancestors and put them up on pedestals as ornaments in our museums and libraries.

These coins of the past are not to be laid away in numismatic collections. The grandson must use what he has inherited from his grandfather. If the coin is not intelligible, then it will have to be sent to the mint and stamped anew, in order that it may circulate freely. Our ancestral deities want a place in our hearts and in our songs.
