Swedish folk power metal group Falconer issued ninth full-length studio album From A Dying Ember on June 26th, 2020 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
From A Dying Ember was mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque, with recording sessions taking place at LaRocque’s Sonic Train Studio in Varberg, Sweden.
Some of the earlier material was scrapped and re-written halfway into the process; additionally, mainman Stefan Weinerhall re-wrote one song with old Mithotyn bandmate, Karl Beckmann (guitars / keyboards).
Weinerhall commented: “Finally, we got the chance to incorporate some keyed fiddle and bagpipe into the music – something that has always been a wish from us, just to get that extra medieval and folky feel to it. In that time, we also wrote the most intense ballad ever, which turned out to be ‘Rejoice The Adorned’ – only featuring piano, keys and strings.”
On June 11th, 2020 Stefan Weinerhall revealed that From A Dying Ember would be the band’s final album, as after two decades Falconer would officially “cease to exist” once the album had been released.
