Artwork
- The front cover features the band standing in a doorway in front of fire. Johan Hegg has his arms raised with his fists in the air. Four swords (like the ones used to form the 'A A' on the inside flap) border the image. The band's logo sits half an inch above the swords in flaming letters using the bands signature font, below the four swords is the album title (ONCE SENT FROM THE GOLDEN HALL). All artwork was created by Peter Kinmark.
