power metal band
Falconer, released on September 2, 2008 through
Metal Blade Records.
It was produced by Andy LaRocque. A heavier album than
Northwind, it tells the tale of the hardships of medieval Sweden. Some of the songs seem heavily inspired by actual historical events. For example, the song "Man of the Hour" apparently deals with the fate of the Swedish 17th century warship ''
Kronan'', the lyrics of "Mountain Men" bear a strong resemblance to the
Engelbrekt rebellion, and "Boiling Led" appears to be about the assassination of
Sverker I of Sweden.
