Die Band kommentiert den neuen Song: „This song opens up with the final verses in Gestaþáttur* from Hávamál", erklärt Mastermind Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson. "The poem translates something like this: 'Cattle die, kindred die / You yourself die / But reputation never dies / Of one who has earned it. / Cattle die, kindred die / You yourself die / But I know one thing that never dies / And that's a dead person's deeds'. The song continues by journeying into the mind of a man with a ruined reputation from his past deeds. And as the title 'Uppskera' ('Harvest') suggests, this man is reaping as he sowed, but he blames all his misfortunes on others. His name will not be honoured after he is gone from this world.“
