FALCONER Guitarist Comments On WACKEN OPEN AIR Performance

August 7, 2007

FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall has issued the following update:

"So, after [an appearance at this year's] Wacken [Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany], we can only say WOW!!!! We had a blast before, during and after the show. Great to see so many of you there, we can't wait to return. The deadly boring car ride home was only lit up by the memories from what we had experianced. During one of the days we had a small trip out to the camping site and got to see what all metal fans have to withstand to see their favourite bands. The filth, the stench and the utter chaos! Now we have Metal Heart festival in Norway left to do and then it's full concentration on the new material."

FALCONER recently extended its deal with Metal Blade for another four albums. The group is currently writing material for its new CD, which will feature "slightly faster and with more unexpected turns," according to Stefan. "The lyrics will all be about Swedish medieval life and episodes. Not a concept album really but still something in that direction. What I decided early on what that it wouldn't become 'Northwind Pt. 2'. 'Northwind' is as good as it can be, therefore we'll make things a tad different this time."

FALCONER's fifth studio album, "Northwind" — the group's first since the departure of singer Kristoffer Göbel and return of Mathias Blad — was released last September via Metal Blade Records.
