The whole album, King of Kings, is a concept album about Harald Fairhair, the first king to unify all of Norway. Even tthough there were many bloody battles, the unification of Norway is something of a love story. It begins with a marriage proposal that resulted in rejection and scorn from Gyda, the daughter of Eirik, king of Hordaland. She said she refused to marry Harald "before he was king over all of Norway". Harald was therefore induced to take a vow not to cut nor comb his hair until he was sole king of Norway, and when he was justified in trimming it ten years later, he exchanged the epithet "Shockhead" or "Tanglehair" (Haraldr lúfa).

What means "shock head tangle hair"? o_O It doesn't make any sense to me. :(

Oh thank you :) I knew there was a concept but never looked for such details. Thank you once again, it's really interesting. :)
