FALCONER: New Song Posted Online

April 8, 2005

A brand new FALCONER track, entitled "Purgatory Time", has been posted online at MetalBlade.de (Real Audio).

"Purgatory Time" comes off the group's fourth studio album, "Grime Vs. Grandeur", due on May 2 via Metal Blade Records.

"This song is the most 'power metallish' on the album which varies from power metal to folky heavy metal to more bluesy and rocky tunes," the band write in a press release.

Regarding the album's overall approach, FALCONER mastermind Stefan Weinerhall recently said, "It is what we would like to call a comeback, since the last album felt a bit too unfocused and not as good as it should have been. This time though... oooh, how I have rubbed my hands to some of the stuff!"

On this album, Stefan shared songwriting duties with singer Kristoffer Göbel, which gave provided the CD with more variety, allowing Stefan to only bring forth his best ideas and dump the rest.

"Kristoffer was also more confident in the studio this time," said Weinerhall, "which cannot be missed by anyone. He fits the songs like a glove! With songs like 'Humanity Overdose', 'Emotional Skies', 'Child Of The Wild', and 'I Refuse' we feel like if people don't like this it's time to start doing something else 'cause people are retarded!"

"Grime Vs. Grandeur" features guest performances by Snowy Shaw (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL) on drums and Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) on additional lead vocals.

"People will recognize the FALCONER sound but also get to discover a new aspect of it," concluded Stefan. "So prepare to get a dose of the best melodies in the metal world spiced up with more attitude and a heavier sound than ever before."
