Great interview!!
Thanks Odin and Stefan!

[Radagast]

Its great how every Stefan interviews sort of reveals new little tiny bits of trivia here and there.

Thanks, Odin. :D

Blinded not a ten point song? :o It's one of my faves from the album :P

Also, what is meant by "German-chorus"? I haven't heard that term before and I'm rather curious.

Great interview btw Interesting read. Thanks.

That "german chorus" thing is a reference to an older interview, I think.
Stefan announced back then, that there would be a song on the new album, that would make the german power metalheads perfectly happy
So that's why Odin asks about that "german chorus".

At least that's how I interpreted it.

They seem to like to sing along to the melodic chorusses...

Who doesn't?  :D

[Odin]

Right. The genesis of this term is a little longer:

First live appearances of FALCONER in Germany --> they were stunned by the way and intensity the metalheads here sing along for example 'The Clarion Call' and (all the) other songs.

In the interview about "Grime..." Stefan told me that they called the chorus of 'Humanity Overdose' the "German Chorus". So I wondered what they think is the German chorus on this album now.

Hint: Do read all my interviews with Stefan! There's a good load meanwhile, haha... :D

About 'Blinded': I don't agree with Stefan there, either. I really dig that one. As I do dig the other songs.

:twisted:
Awesome interview Odin. Iceland kicks ass.

Another awesome interviews!

The joke is hilarious :D
And yeah, I have to agree - make love, not war! :D

[Ancient Minstrel]

Hmm, Stefan said that Falconer was NOT a Power Metal band. I must disagree, Power/Folk is clearly the most suitable definition IMHO.

[Radagast]

"Power Metal" is almost a dirty word(s) in Sweden it would seem.

I know that HammerFall, Lost Horizon, Heed and now Falconer reject the term, four bands I would definitely consider different types of Power Metal. It all comes down to interpretation - I guess to a lot of people Power Metal just means la-de-da ultra-fruity keyboard drowned stuff like Freedom Call, Rhaposdy and Power Quest (bands I like). I don't personally agree with that, though.
