Promotion and Release
In early 2003, the band released "Di grind" as a free download, exclusively on their site. They premiered the song "Evig pint" at the Spellemannsprisen award show (Norwegian Grammy Award). The album was released finally on February 3, 2003. Like its predecessor, it received many positive reviews from the major newspapers in Norway; however, it did not receive as many full marks in its reviews as Ompa til du dør.
The album was later re-released in other countries, but unlike Ompa til du dør, no additions, removals or changes were made to the recordings. It was also released as a digipak CD and LP. Lastly, it was re-released as a bundle together with last year's EP release Mann mot mann. In 2004, the album, together with the band's earlier and later releases, was re-released throughout Europe, due to the band having signed a contract with Universal Germany.
Ultimately, the album did not sell as well as Ompa til du dør and disappeared from the album charts in Norway considerably faster. However, Evig pint remains one of the albums with most consistency in its overall review score released in Norway to date.

Famous quotes containing the words promotion and/or release:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
