Description:

Ian Anderson said of the album, "The title of this album changed a couple of times before I decided on it. I started with the idea of making a mostly instrumental album for rock flutes, as in rock music. As the album's subject matter began to emerge, I was drawn to the concept of Ragnarok, which comes from ancient Scandinavian mythology. It is their interpretation of the apocalyptic end times or the biblical Armageddon (the world's final war)." The "final battle" scenario is ubiquitous in Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam, for example." Ragnarok" can be translated as "destiny of the gods," with the "rok" part meaning fate, path, or direction. The "flute" is also spelled "flute," because it has a solid umlaut (dot above the "o"), which comes from the Old Norse language, the origin of the Germanic language. Do you understand me so far? I couldn't pass up the great opportunity to use umlauts in a sensible and effective way. I can't pass up a great opportunity to use umlauts in a logical and effective way," he says.Jethro Tull's 22nd studio album, "The Zerotto Gene," released in January 2022, was highly acclaimed in many countries.
