Following the demise of Viking/folk-themed black metal band Mithotyn in 1999, Swedish guitarist/bassist Stefan Weinerhall and drummer Karsten Larsson took a right turn toward power metal with their next project, Falconer, whose studio lineup was initially completed by accomplished stage actor and singer Mathias Blad. Promising demos quickly landed the group a deal on Metal Blade, and early Falconer albums like 2001's eponymous debut and 2002's Chapters from a Vale Forlorn distinguished themselves for meshing lingering traces of Scandinavian folk music into power metal's often predictable template. But the band's rising fortunes only led to conflict: Blad decided to quit rather than let ever increasing touring commitments get in the way of his parallel theatrical career, forcing Weinerhall and Larsson to replace him with new vocalist Kristofferson Göbel even as they hired second guitarist Anders Johansson and bassist Peder Johansson to flesh out their concert lineup. This same quintet also recorded Falconer's third album, the Sceptre of Deception, in 2003. On 2005's Grime vs. Grandeur, Falconer did away with their medieval/fairy tale/Tolkien lyrics. Original vocalist Mathias Blad returned to the fold to begin work on a fifth Falconer album Northwind, and with his return the band's signature sound returned more vibrant then ever, Now with their sixth Metal Blade, FALCONER continues their prolific career as one of the most unique and treasured underground metal acts, with a loyal following that is ready to share their secret.
