Two of Falconer's three members are alumni of Swedish black/Viking metal outfit Mithotyn, but Falconer is a lot more than merely Mithotyn Mark 2. The self-titled debut boasts a more pronounced power metal slant and displaces the mother-band's dark Nordicisms in favor of touches of Celtic folk. At times this makes Falconer sound like Jethro Tull gone heavy metal, but when they let rip, their compact, thunderous attack, strong melodic sense, sense of drama, and Matthias Blad's distinctive vocals (pitched lower than you'd expect for a work in this genre) are a force of nature. Lyrically Falconer is about what you'd expect from an album which has a horseback rider straight out of Tolkien on its sleeve: dungeons and dragons and sword and sorcery. But then you don't listen to Falconer for their lyrics. When the Iron Maiden-gone-bonkers majesty of "Heresy in Disguise," "Mindtraveller," and "Entering Eternity" kicks in, Falconer can sound better than just about anyone else in their weight category. ~ Leslie Mathew

The first album of this power metal band with the great voice of Mathias Blad. Nowadays they will be back with Mathias on voices again.

5 stars Masterful Medieval Metal
Based on sound samples here and at CDNow, I ordered all three of Falconer's CDs on a whim from CDUNiverse and must say that I'm quite glad I did. All three are great, but the debut CD is by far the best of the the flock. These guys have a sound and attitude that immediately sets them apart from the D&D-Dungeonmasters-with-guitars sound of so many others in the swords-and-sorcery metal genre. The lyrics are delivered with an authority and seriousness that makes you almost believe these guys are channeling the long-dead spirits of of the past. Most of all, these guys committed some fantastic guitar sounds to tape. Big, beefy, ballsy, and unprocessed. Symphonically inclined melodic metal practicioners could learn a lot from the spare production techniques of this disc. For fans of the genre-- and for students of truly great hard rock/metal guitar tone-- I can't recommend this CD highly enough.

4 stars The Power Of "FALCONER"!
This band rips and tears through this CD! Excellent musically! The singer is excellent but I wish he would put more of the rougher side of emotion into his singing.
