I really appreciate Falconer for releasing one last album for us fans as the curtain closes and they bow out. I am also thankful for Metal Blade Records for doing their part in promoting this album, and all of the "behind the scenes" stuff. I hope they all enjoy retirement from making music, and sail smoothly to wherever their destinations might be.
"As alone as one can be, I feel nothing but joy" The last words from perhaps my favourite group, poignant and hard hitting to know they've just disbanded as of today.
The only thing I don't like about this album is the fact that it is the last one we will have from Falconer. But it's a great farewell. Thanks for everything, guys - so many years of music, melodies, riffs, solos, vocals, lyrics... you will live forever in our hearts!
You were part of my life, you marked my entire adolescence, maybe the band I listened to the most. Today, a cycle ends, I wish you all the happiness in the world, and my thanks for everything!
First time i have heard of Falconer back when i was 15 years old. Now, 15 years later, with great sadness of your disbanding, i'll carry your music forever in my heart. I still have huge logo (hand written) on my childhood room door in my parents house. "Enter the glade" on the front. Wish you guys all the best and thank you for each and every song that you created! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Andy LaRocque did an EXCELLENT mastering job with this album. Not the slightest hint of loudness war, full danymic range without any brickwalled waveforms. Can't even remember when I encountered such outstanding mastering of a metal album last time.
Would not call it "full dynamic range" but for sure, this is one of the better sounding metal albums released nowadays. Check out "Omnium Gatherum - The Burning Cold" on HDTracks for some dynamics :) DR13 compared to 8-10 for this record. Another fine example is Witherscapes The Northern Sanctuary CD2 on Limited Ed. (DR13).
You will be inmortal. Thank you for your beautiful music that made me feel that somethhing... electricity inside me, my ears tingling. I can`t truly describe what Falconer made me feel those nights when I listened to your songs for the first time, I couln`t help smiling. Even those little silences in your songs where enjoyable. Really... You`ll be for me the best band in the world. Farewell...
They send Messenger for me in the Facebook for support for my grandmon, im so glade and grateful, this álbum is a final beautiful and for the Band, congratulations
Having heard all of Falconers albums I can confidently say this is an all out banger from them. Favorite band for me as well as my wife. Our wedding song is Long Gone By off Northwind. Thank you Falconer for blessing us with such incredible and timeless music that is in my opinion unmatched by any other band. Favorite tracks are, Kings and Queens, Redeem and repent, Fool's Crusade, In Regal Attire and Rejoice The Adorned. Long Live Falconer.
Thank you for your great music Falconer, You are one of the best Power/Folk Metal bands I found out in the last three years. Your discography is pure gold and I really wish you all the best in your new projects.
I never even heard of this band until stumbling across this, but I see all the comments that this is their swan song. They can be proud of themselves, I really enjoyed it, a really solid slab of classic heavy metal.
Well done boys ! Big fan since i've seen your show at Wacken in 2002....thank you for all these great albums and memories . Farewell....your music will stay with me for the years to come . Greetings from Germany..........P.S. love the Mithotyn vibes on this album !!!!!!!!!!!
Thought process listening to 'In Regal Attire' for the first time: 'Oh man, this chorus calls for a key change. 30 seconds left. Are they gonna do it? Are they gonna do it? YES! THEY DID IT!'
Man, I've been a fan since Chapters from a Vale Forlorn. I'm very sad to see these guys go. I love that they went out on a high note though. Stefan, Karsten, and Mathias are all in top form as usual. Rest in peace, Falconer! You'll always be my favorite power metal band.
I feel like im entering eternity through the portals of light, into a substutional world where falconer has NOT sold their homesteads.... Great Album... but dont call it quits~! U guys are the best
They can't quit after making this good of an album, clearly they still have it (unlike some bands who decrease in quality over the years). If they wanna do something stylistically different they should keep making music under a new name.
I just got into Falconer in early 2018, and my thought while listening to amazing song after amazing song has just been -- How the hell did I miss this band until now? For 20 years they've kept with the sound that made them famous and which they do so damn well, giving us some of the best power metal in the world -- and without sacrificing aggressive riffs or drowning their songs in guitar-smothering synths, too. I hope they end up doing a best-of farewell tour -- I know they haven't been much of a touring band, but one last run would be so appreciated by fans around the world and would be a great way to cap off an incredible career. I think my two overall favorite Falconer albums are 'Falconer' and 'Among Beggars and Thieves.' My five favorite songs are 'Dreams and Pyres', 'Field of Sorrow', 'The Clarion Call', 'Mindtraveller', and 'Substitutional World'. What about you? Name your two favorite albums and five favorite songs.
Chapters from a Vale Forlorn and the debut, with black moon rising getting an honorable mention. The ultimate edition for the debut had just come out when I started listening to them, definitely was anticipating this new album ever since I heard about, too bad it's the last one. Agreed on the tour!
Falconer makes some of the most interesting power metal out there, I love thinking about and interpreting the lyrics in various historical contexts and imagining a fantasy world where they would apply!
Så tacksam för detta! Falconer har varit en del av mitt liv sen jag var 10 år gammal och det är helt magiskt att 21 år senare få ett album som går HELT jävlar i stil med hur det lät för alla dessa år sedan! Älskart!!
I’m beyond sad that this is their last album but honestly this is the best farewell album I’ve heard in my life. Especially the last line of rapture okay hits different and everything here is just perfect. Goodbye falconer, gone but never forgotten 🤘
Farewell my friends. I love your music since many years. Its time to say good bye.... on my rear window of my truck are my last words to you. The Hangman and the Reaper together hand in hand greetings from Switzerland forever in my heart❤
It's a pity seeing them call it quits. Have always been a fan of Mithotyn and Falconer (mostly their first album) since the start. Let's hope they start another great band in the future.
First heard these guys playing Vid Rosornas Grav in a car commercial. I was instantly hooked and even started learning Swedish to better appreciate their music. Literally cried this morning finding out they broke up, and then seeing on the digipak version of this album they rereleased acoustic editions of Portals Of Light and Long Gone By, the two most heartwrenching songs they made. Does anyone know where these can be found to stream? If i have to buy the physical CD i will but if theyre online, id be thrilled
The first time I heard Falconer and that voice, I thought to myself: What the fuck? I didn't understand this stamp I wanted higher more raw. But gradually I understood the soul behind the armor and the charm worked. Today I am a fan. I love it again and again. I discovered them too late because they gave up their arms. Great Art.
Rest in power, Falconer! Every track is better than the last. This album made it to our "best of the month" list. Watch the video here: th-cam.com/video/QH6PrNOJN8I/w-d-xo.html
Клёвая старая гр.! Хороший альб., хотя вокалисту не хватает эмоциональности и напора, зато гитара и особенно ударные-это полный улёт! Да и фолковые и лиричные моменты придают музыке какой-то особый, средневековый колорит. Очень и очень неплохо!
I just found out this is their last album. Yet I dont believe it. When one band starts doing music and shows, they cannot stop. Look at Ozzy for example.
Why is there no merch for sale? I don´t just want a physical record, I´d like T-shirts, if possible also a girlie-shirt and a wristband with the Falconer-logo! Come on, one last time!!!
It wouldn't be the first time they do it. There are 2 instrumental songs in Armod, and considering that this is their final album, it's nice that they included an instrumental track.
I really appreciate Falconer for releasing one last album for us fans as the curtain closes and they bow out. I am also thankful for Metal Blade Records for doing their part in promoting this album, and all of the "behind the scenes" stuff.

Fans won't let them be. They will be forced to reunite. And of course, this album will sell more than others.
@@blindg7092 They're calling it quits as of today. They won't reunite.
Dammit they’re calling quits? That fucking sucks falconer has always been one of my favorites
@@vladgutierrez94 Anyway, there will be some offshoots, guest vocals, etc.
@@darkangel-ve8pn Yes, a couple weeks ago they announced they're disbanding when this album is released. The Falcon is dead.
"As alone as one can be, I feel nothing but joy"
The last words from perhaps my favourite group, poignant and hard hitting to know they've just disbanded as of today.
I know man it hits different
The only thing I don't like about this album is the fact that it is the last one we will have from Falconer. But it's a great farewell. Thanks for everything, guys - so many years of music, melodies, riffs, solos, vocals, lyrics... you will live forever in our hearts!
You were part of my life, you marked my entire adolescence, maybe the band I listened to the most. Today, a cycle ends, I wish you all the happiness in the world, and my thanks for everything!
Thank you so much for absolutely everything, Falconer, you guys will always be the best in my heart!

Nightfall by Blind Guardian
@@lovecraftmusic8717 Not the one I have, all chopped-off peaks.
Tarot by Aether Realm is mixed pretty well for a metal album

U hit the jackpot with a girl that likes Falconer!
Amazing work... FalconeR ....aarggg!!! lml Mithotyn s legacy ...

Oh yes!
Best song of the album, i love it
Thank you for this great album, Falconer. What a way to bid farewell!
Stumbles upon Falconer in 2014. Since then this band was my favorite, every song was beautiful and significant for me.
What a farewell. Falconer forever in our hearts!
Man, I've been a fan since Chapters from a Vale Forlorn. I'm very sad to see these guys go. I love that they went out on a high note though. Stefan, Karsten, and Mathias are all in top form as usual. Rest in peace, Falconer! You'll always be my favorite power metal band.
I feel like im entering eternity through the portals of light, into a substutional world where falconer has NOT sold their homesteads.... Great Album... but dont call it quits~! U guys are the best
I am sure as soon as the lead singer gets fired from his full-time job, Falconer will reunite.
@@blindg7092 Not happening hahaha.
Oh man, redeem and repent feels like it hits home very hard about modern-day rule and governments

Matthias is back. I yeald 4 the king
Jethro Tull without a Flute on Steroids!! Killer Album!!
Falconer makes some of the most interesting power metal out there, I love thinking about and interpreting the lyrics in various historical contexts and imagining a fantasy world where they would apply!
Sad news :C never got to see them live ...
Thank you for joining me in my adolescence and my hard times.
love from Chile
Excellent.
Thanks for all theses years ! You guy were incredibles. Love from France
A buddy of mine told me about this band and i like... why havent you been telling me about this band... love it... SKOL my brothers and sisters... 🍻

In regal attire guys.... Wow it's amazing, they did it again. Thanks for all Falconer
Amazing album! Rest easy Falconer.
One of my top favorite bands right here. Thank you friends, your music is important
What a way to close the curtains on a tremendous career. Thank you guys, your music has got me through some rough times.
Been good 14 years since I first heard the Falconer album. Crazy how times fly. This is a nice parting gift. Take care!
Listening to this with a shade of nostalgia and sadness, knowing this will be the last work. It was awesome while it lasted, thank you!
Most Excellent,! Falconer!Thank You for all the Great Music,Farewell
Thanks! Got my album download link this morning, but this will keep me busy at work until I can get home and listen to it in best quality sound :))
I used to love Falconer, how did I miss this album dropping? It's amazing.
Exceptional Album. thank you falconer for everything, from italy. big fan.
One of best albums with the Mindtraveller !! Good Job!!!
GRANDIOS 🤘some of the best songs ever from a PERFEKT Band
Absolutely amazing !
Had no idea this was the last album. Had it on repeat all day. Every album with Mathias is amazing, shame we won't get more of them.
I’m so happy to hear more from them. Best band ever
i remember downloading the demo song for mind traveler back in the day. what a great band.
That is my favorite Falconer song. Especially the acoustic version.
At ease, Falconer. Thanks for the metal and journey 🤘
Just ordered the CD, stoked to own this!
Discovered Falconer 6 years ago, if there ever were a good album to end on RIP :(
It's a pity seeing them call it quits. Have always been a fan of Mithotyn and Falconer (mostly their first album) since the start. Let's hope they start another great band in the future.
I'm going to miss this band... so much...
Might be my new favorite album by them. Big fan of the song Rejoice the Adorned.
Man, "Thrust the Dagger Deep" might be my new favorite song!
Que triste que una banda tan buena se disuelva con lo buenos que son
En. Hora buena para todos sus integrantes
Excelente escuela sueca gracias!!🤘🤘🤘✌️

I’m always gonna be a fan I love falconer not many bands can create the sounds they did
Awesome, just simply awesome.
I discovered these guys back in 2015 and now 5 years later I see their final album.....fuck is this what Band Sadness feels like?
Very good, creative & original sounding band. This "disbanding" bluff is the perfect reason for their later REUNION. Time will tell, mark my words
I really hope that you are right and i am wrong on this...
Great oniric creativity! I love you!
Do I remember the lines in Rapture correctly from the Mithotyn promo?
Lindo demais!! Falconer é uma das minhas bandas favoritas

Vamos falconer muy buen álbum desde ARGENTINA
listened to their songs while playing dark age of camelot almost 20 years ago... sad to see them disband.
Grande falconer desde Argentina
Southern Murica - is land of trve old metal fans. Why modern western country forget about metal music and listening mainstream rap and shitcore?
Quellcrist falconer. Hero.
Top Album !!!
Excelente.
qualidade impecável, timbres de guitarra foda, pedal duplo fodido além do vocal em boa fase lembrando o 1º disco de estúdio. DISCO FODA!
Uma despedida digna dessa banda maravilhosa.
from dying embers, FIRE!
excellent album
I just found out this is their last album. Yet I dont believe it. When one band starts doing music and shows, they cannot stop. Look at Ozzy for example.
👹🤘
Love this band... from comments reading I guess this is it?
Sounds great, anyone else think the vocals were recorded alot louder than the rest of the instruments?
Yeah and that's wonderful, last album was great but wasn't mixed well enough. This one is right on spot mixingwise
me quede con las ganas de escuchar THE PAST STILL LIVES ON acustica
Estos no se separaron hace como un mes? Brutal por MB que logro lanzar el album, pero que mal que la banda se separara.
La banda deja de existir a partir de hoy, hace un par de semanas anunciaron que la banda se desintegra una vez lanzado el álbum.
Good band!
Why is there no merch for sale? I don´t just want a physical record, I´d like T-shirts, if possible also a girlie-shirt and a wristband with the Falconer-logo! Come on, one last time!!!
I second this. 😉
Track 08 I adore
This is sad! just found out about this band and now they call it quits :(
Check the bassist for thwarting efforts on tracks I think someone overlooked the one who didn’t know what they were doing
It’s like someone layered their playing over what was there, mistakes that I know were not on your tracks
Thrust the Dagger Deep has a Deep Purple sound! I love it!
Why disband such a great and unique band like Falconer???
This is their last album??
Why there is no 1440p? =)
?? Last? A world without Falconer is not a good one. My for sure.
Yeah, sadly this is their final album, the band no longer exists.
SHOW FALCONER
BlackMetal's Night.
Instrumentals on a Falconer album? WTF was that for?
It wouldn't be the first time they do it. There are 2 instrumental songs in Armod, and considering that this is their final album, it's nice that they included an instrumental track.
great stuff. Too bad music industry is facing such difficulties
Thumbs up if u preordered like me
