My favorite track off The Reckoning's new album! Mos def!

Thank you sir !

Killer stuff, especially like your tone in this one

Thanks Slav.. good old Marshall !

Love it Ben!! !!! I thought the Art was yours at the beginning it reminded me of the style that I saw in your comic stuff...but seems to have another signature?...Anyway its a good drawing and goes well with your awesome sounding guitar!

Yeah it is mine

Very cool artwork reminds me of my fav movie, 13th warrior when they are in the long boat coming over kill the baddies.

I agree with Cosmin fave song from the album

Wow...good work Man!

Nice - that's good to hear !

Todd - you put the E in epicness I mean, thinking of the 13th warrior, makes a lot of sense

Ben - what inspired you to write 'The Longboat'?

Yes, the 13th Warrior is a great movie. Did you (and Todd) also see the more recent animated version of Beowulf ? I thought that was brilliant.

Well, there was a tv programme once about a group of modern sailors who built a replica of a Viking Ship and sailed it from Norway across to the Shetland Isles. Once there, they had to drag the ship across land. The whole vibe of it was incredible and it inspired me to come up with the main riff that you hear. I tried to find info about the programme once and found out that it was first broadcast in 1999. I don't think that's when I saw it, it must have been a bit later than that.. but it was an incredibly long time ago. I first tracked that riff onto my Fostex 4 track recorder !!

This is my favourite one, too - besides Lestat
And yeah, your tone is really unique..

Thanks Marc !
