In a recent interview, Øystein G. Brun revealed that the band name originated from a Scottish myth. The myth invovles a man who climbed Loch Nagar (a mountain in Scotland).

Anybody knows about this interview???

 

[Oceana]

??? it was suposed to not have a meaning

 

[Øystein G. Brun]

Well, the name has no litteral meaning. Though, the name is slightly inspired by the name of the mountain Loch Nagar, supposed to be in scotland somewhere...

I thought it was how the word Ragnarok looked when written backwards on a mirror after a few beers?

Yeah, I know that interview. They say it's just a slight -howdoyoucallit, verbastering in Dutch- degeneracy.

I am pretty sure I read an interview where they said bork was thrown in front of nagar to make it sound norwegian

Redstream.org has a description that says it's Ragnarok mixed up with a B just to make it pronounceable.

^ Ragnarok is perfectly pronounceable (sp?) the way it is...

Well Oystein says that is not true... in the interview... Read it... great interview

You missed the words mixed up.

 

[Rivfadír]

Naw, I saw them, just misinterpreted the meaning.
Get it now...
