Guitarist Stefan Weinerhall of Swedish metallers FALCONER has issued the following update:
“The eighth album Black Moon Rising is finally written. In January we will once again enter Sonic Train Studios with Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND). Release date is set for June. This time we have even made some pre-productions of the material to test it out in advance. Some titles are: ‘There’s A Crow On The Barrow’, ‘Age Of Runes’, ‘Scoundrel’ and ‘The Squire. As said before all songs are in English this time after the last album’s one-off with only Swedish songs.
“It’s for sure the most riff-based album in many years and there are certainly some furious moments that are brow-raising on the album. If I would sum up the material with two words they would be: intensity and revitalization. We will keep it quite basic with no guest musicians and almost no keyboards to keep it raw, natural and unpretentious. Can’t wait to enter the studio and put the finishing touches on the songs!!”
FALCONER’s seventh album, Armod, was released in June 2011 via Metal Blade Records.
