Release
Shortly after the end of the recording sessions, the first single, "Malin", was released on their MySpace account and as a digital single in several digital audio webstores. The song was originally supposed to be featured on Eliksir, but it was ultimately cut. Some other track titles like "Løgnprofitør" and "Vår Bør" were announced somewhere around the same time. In December 2008, the band released a video preview of the album on YouTube.
In January 2009, the band got together to shoot a video for the track "O Dessverre". The video was directed by Stian Kristiansen, the director of the popular Norwegian film The Man Who Loved Yngve.
Later the same month, the band released the entire album on MySpace for previewing purposes. On January 26, the album was released on iTunes as well as Norwegian music retailers, both on regular CD and vinyl.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
