- From the insert booklet: "Curse Upon Iron" is undoubtedly one of the better-known works in Estonian choral music. Already in it's original form, it contains all the primary characteristics of this particular project: shamanic chants, rhymes borrowed from Kalevala, the primeval power of runo-singing. To this we add some increasingly popular ethno-rockers and the 54 trained voices of the Grammy-awarded only full-time professional male choir in the world. The works of the world-renowned composer emeritus Veljo Tormis and those of "Metsatoll" are manipulated without prejudice by Tauno Aints, whose background is revealed by the names of his bands - "Speculative Rockenroll Band" and "Genialisted". However, the young man also has a cum laude in the field of composition, so both sides of the music are treated equally and are fused into a whole. "Metsatoll" becomes grand choral music, Beljo Tornis turns into rock."
