Well i never
It is interesting. I don't know whether it's a coincidence, but a lot of stuff does seem to have hit the forum about this general area and period.
I did wonder if there's a conference and we're seeing journalists skimming through the papers or something like that :)
This one seems to come from a paper published in 2025
Frans-Arne H. Stylegar: «Thalassocracies of the North. Scandinavian naval bases and North Sea piracy in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD».
Does seem to be uploaded to t'internet though.

Perhaps a Scandi tribute band for a British band of similar name?
