Swedish folk metallers FALCONER have launched a landing page for their new album Armod due June 3/6 via Metal Blade Records in Europe! Surf over to http://www.metalblade.com/falconer to check out the album opener Svarta Änkan and make sure to check the pre-order deals available for Armod!
Comments FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall: "Svarta änkan is the song that start off the album because most of us felt it was the best song of the album. It´s the heaviest and most varied song that combines aggressive riffing with very folky song harmonie and is without a doubt my fave song of the album!"
Armod features 11 songs completely sung in Swedish and four bonus tracks that are English versions of the band members' favourite new songs. The four bonus tracks will only be available with the limited first Digipak edition of Armod!
Comments FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall: "The album is embracing the Swedish folk music to a greater extent than before making it sound slightly more down to earth. The music spans from acoustic songs with cello, flute and fiddle to songs with blast beats and really heavy riffing. As said before this is a 'one-time-only' album and does not define the future sound of FALCONER, but it was about time to pay full notice to the influence that has always made us different. Now we have that out of our system!"
Armod was once again recorded at King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque's Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden, during December and January.
