Ride of the Immigrants!

Description

I wrote (kind of) and recorded this as a theme song for a cartoon in development about vikings. We wanted to do an Immigrant Song meets Ride of the Valkyries meets Swedish Death Metal type thin but apparently it's a little too intense, so we're scrapping it and starting over. Don't want to scare the little kiddies! It sure was fun though... and hey - it found a home here right?
