FALCONER Prepare To Enter Studio

January 17, 2006

Swedish epic/power metallers FALCONER are preparing to enter the studio to begin recording their new album — their first since the departure of singer Kristoffer Göbel and return of Mathias Blad.

Commented the band: "The first rehearsal has just taken place with the complete new line-up. Finally we got to hear some of the new songs with vocals and I'll tell you it sounded awsome.

"At this time we have almost everything ready for the new album and as it looks now there will be a couple of traditional folk songs as bonus tracks on the first edition of the upcoming CD. However, there's still time to make more contributions to the tracklist.

"I don't think we have been this well prepared for the studio ever before, so hopefully we don't have to be stressed during the last days.

"We will enter the studio in February, then carry on in the summer with the vocals and mixing. Although it feels like we have to wait to get the result it's good to be able to take a step back and reflect and melt the impression and then get back and finalize it.

"A good guess would be that the album will be released in September 2006.

"I can hardly wait to hear the result myself.

"Although it's in many ways a return to the old style there is still elements of a refreshing feeling. Don't know exactly what it is though, more variety, more details, more produced or maybe it's just a feeling."

FALCONER's fourth studio album, "Grime Vs. Grandeur", was released in May 2005 via Metal Blade Records. The CD features guest performances by Snowy Shaw (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL) on drums and Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) on additional lead vocals.
