" Horn Triskelion " was recorded and produced by Fernando Matias (F.E.V.E.R.) in the Urban Insect Studios in Portugal, and mixed and mastered by Børge Finstad (who has worked together with bands as Arcturus, Mayhem, Borknagar, Enslaved, Ulver, Tristania, Ava Inferi, Theatre of Thragedy, Vintersorg, Shining, Àsmegin among others) at Toproom Studios in Norway. The artwork was created by Jan Yrlund from Darkgrove Designs ( Týr, Korpiklaani, Stratovarius, Svarysot, Imperia, Sirenia among others ).
" I feel a great satisfaction because when I look at this album now that is finished, it stills surprises me every time I listen to it! It´s an album where you can enjoy each particular song because they are so unique and so you cannot pick only one favorite song! It´s the first time I feel totally accomplished with the final result! I wouldn’t change anything to it. The next step is to show our work live and tour a lot so that people can see our energy on stage! Bring a beer and a friend and join our horde! "

" For the first time, this album, was recorded and produced just like we wanted, and really overcome our expectations! "

" I feel that it is a great accomplishment for the band and personally, a great satisfaction. Finally, after so many years of existence, we had the means, time and maturity to create an album that is exactly what we envisioned. The release of Ynys Mön in 2008, changed drastically the way I regarded Gwydion. It became something much more serious. We weren’t just a band with demos anymore. We had an album released by TROLLZORN, and we knew that (because of the contract signed) we would have two years to show the metal community our vision of metal. And this is it. Horn Triskelion. Our vision materialized. "
