FALCONER Putting Finishing Touches On New Album

May 26, 2008

Swedish metallers FALCONER have entered Andy La Rocque's (KING DIAMOND) Sonic Train Studio in Varberg, Sweden to put the finishing touches on their new album, entitled "Among Beggars And Thieves". 13 songs are being mixed during the sessions, including two bonus tracks for the LP's first edition.

In other news, FALCONER shot the video for the song "Carnival Of Disgust" at the medieval Vadstena castle on a windy and cold April day. The clip, which will begin airing later this summer to coincide with the new album's release, "exceeds [all] expectations," according to a press release.

FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall previously stated about the upcoming CD. "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 last year extended its deal with Metal Blade for another four albums.

The group's fifth studio CD, "Northwind" the band's first since the departure of singer Kristoffer Gbel and return of Mathias Blad was released in September 2006 via Metal Blade Records.
