:D Great!

I sense the folk elements will be more prominent on this album than ever before?  I love the solo as well, it will be good to hear songs in the old style with Jimmy shredding away.

Haha, wow .... this one i totally awsome!

One of the best songs i've heard from Falconer actually. The part with "dark waters come raven come and be our guide ......" is perfect. Mathias soft voice fits so well. But still you guys are kinda evil making us listen to awsome stuff knowing we will not hear it in it's full glory until 22 september.

The question is, will every song be this good? (or at least somewhat near)

Well Pettor. In my true opinion there is 4 other songs that are equally superb.
The rest is just fucking great, and then there's one or two that are just awsome.

Good good goooood! Falconer is back, folk metal rocks!
Hard rocking, melodic and poetic with undertones of greensleeves. Winning combination!

Couldn't have said it better! Although I would have to change that "4" to a "5". You forgot to include "Home of the knave"!

I surely hope Tower of The Queen is one of them. While listening to the teaser it seems to be a superb track. Iam so glad old Falconer is back :D .

One more thing, what does Knave mean? (går bra att förklara på svenska ;) )
Titel: TITLE TRACK "NORTHWIND" IS ONLINE
Beitrag von: The Black Knight am August 22, 2006, 08:44:40 Nachmittag
Tower of the queen is one of them. At least IMO.

Knave = Cheat, swindler / Soldier (English)
Knave = Knekt / Kanalje (Swedish)

Northwind seems great and I love the guitars and Mathias' singing, and the part between 3:00 and 3:20. I do however think that the chorus is the weak point of this song. But it is growing on me. My grade after 4 listenings is: a solid Falconer song, but not among the all time best. But that soft part after 3 minutes really kicks ass.

What an awesome opening track!

Epic in it's scope... the Falcon takes it's sweeps and flies high again!

Mathias is back and so are Falconer in the way we learned to love them!

Absolutely beautiful!  I don't believe I've ever heard Matthias sing quite so high before.  :shock:  Stefan, please try to get Matthias to join the forums so we (read: I) can ramble on about how great his singing is!  In leiu of that, please tell him I'm increadibly pleased and happy and all other adjectives that describe pleasure, at his return and his singing. :)

And the guitars and drums and...and...I sound like such a broken record here - you guys are amazing!

I pre-ordered the album from Metal Blade, too.  YAY!  *bounces with glee* The release cannot come soon enough! :)

@AoM
What a reaction :D
This is going to be the records, where all the non-believers will feel sorry that they lost their trust in Falconer after the last album! I'm so excited, man I cannot express it! :D

Oh and I still cannot pre-order Northwind at amazon :(

Truly wonderful track indeed!
Falconer is back, but still they've moved a step forward... wonderful!

Mathias back vox is even greater than I thought it would be - may he NEVER leave again! :)

I will listen myself tired of this song untill the record is out, for sure... again, wonderful!

Did you sign up for an account at Metal Blade?  If you don't have one, it won't let you order.


@Jakob: I'm pretty sure he sings higher on the track Northwind.  However, I haven't listened to Sceptre in awhile, so my memory could be off.

Maybe, but he definately sings very low on this song as well... It sounds killer.

Go to login on the metal blade site, and when you click that, it should give you three options, one of which is "Log in for the first time."  That'll enable you to register.

I found this out by clicking on possibilities.  I'm sure you'd have figured it out on your own. ;)

That song is pretty good alright. Though I must confess that it does not quite meet the high expectations I had after listening to the teaser.All the songs on the teaser made a very strong impact on me with their very cool and clever melodies. "Northwind" just seems very simple in comparison, the refrain is not that intelligent, musicwise. It gets stuck in your head very fast, sure, but it gets repeated so often that I can't help but feel "hm, this is good, but they can do much better than this..."

But then, the parts between the refrains are pretty groovy abd catchy, I dig them a lot. And it`s GlOoOorious to hear an entire new song with Mathias' wonderful voice!  8)

Another in-line servie that I like to use is CD Universe. They are actually local to me and they have a lot of cd's I can not find anywhere else. They have been EXTREMELY reliable. You can also pre-oreder Northwind from there as well as the Swedish import version.
Here is the URL.
