SKAGERRAK follows the mental development of Casper Steinfath in his attempt to be the first person in the world to paddle from Denmark to Norway. A journey revealing that there's more to it than getting from A to B.

Our hero is Umbi (an acronym for emissary of the bishop), sent by him to undertake an important investigation at Snæfell-glacier. In particular he is to look into the conduct and behavior of Jón Prímus, the old pastor at Snæfell. Fantastic rumors are rife: amongst other things it is said that a corpse is lodged in the glacier! Armed with his tape recorder and notebook, Umbi embarks upon his mission. He tries to question the weird locals, a weird lot, but gets evasive answers. Slowly he is dragged into a quagmire of strange happenings and his efforts to understand only make him confused. If at the beginning he is a chipper, a mere device, by the end of the story he is inextricably involved, a committed participant in the bizarre events.

HUGORM showed its beating, bloody, naked heart on the album "TRO, HUG & KÆRLIGHED" from mid-October 2022, and the culmination after a year of superb reviews and great media coverage occurred with the producer trio's two sold-out concerts in front of well over 4000 fans of HUGARMY in STORE VEGA between Christmas and New Year in the same year.
