FALCONER for prog power X

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I heard they weren't very good at the BW&BK festival. Apparently Karsten was skunk-drunk?

But it's interesting to hear an account that says they were good. Have you seen them with Mathias live?

I never saw them live before so I had nothing to compare, but I thought they were great and a major draw for me at that festival. I'd love to see them with Mathias, though.

Just a reminder:

There is a medely of some of the new songs up!

All hail Falconer! I really hope they'll be asked to play PPUSA X next year!

What did you think of the samples from the new album?

 

[7thSaviour]

I am waiting to hear the new album in its entirety after I buy the CD. I know it's gonna be a great listening experience!

 

[OrbWeaver]

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.

The full version of "Man of the Hour" is available for download. Excellent song! I love the chorus.

Man of the Hour can now be heard on the Falconer Myspace page, too.

What's the official release date of this CD? Can't wait to hear it!

 

[OrbWeaver]

August 22nd for Sweden, 25th for the rest of Europe, and September 2nd (assuming Metal Blade US doesn't reneg) for the USA.

And I cancelled my pre-order from Amazon, as it was the US release. I want the bonus tracks, dammit! Sadly, CD Inzane does not have the European release available for pre-order, nor does Metal Blade's website, and the few sites teh Falconer home page listed wanted your soul and your firstborn child in payment for the new release. So I guess I have to wait.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I'd love to see FALCONER play PPX! They are definitely a high quality band.

The reviews are already pouring in!

http://www.reviewbusters.net/music/review.aspx?id=1298 - gave 9/10

http://www.blistering.com/fastpage/fpengine.php/link/1/templateid/14127/tempidx/4/menuid/2 - no rating, but praising the music, and bitching a bit about Mathias' voice. Bah.

http://prod1.cmj.com/articles/display_article.php?id=70047722 - no rating. Unsure if she liked it or not. A bit of bitching about the vocals, once again.

http://www.pitriff.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=1059 - initially wrote the band off as a "typical" power metal band. Loves this album. Gave 8/10


Overall, reviewers seem to like this album, despite two of the four mildly complaining about the vocals. I am now even more anxious for this album to be released.

I'd love to see FALCONER play PPX! They are definitely a high quality band.

+1
I'm also glad to learn that the album will see a domestic release.

i pronounce much w00t for this idea and would definatly attend if this happened. so far I've only been to the PP w/ straty. that was the first year that i heard about PP but since then the bands just haven't excited me that much. Falconer would excite me much

 

[OrbWeaver]

The video for Carnival of Disgust is now up! Yay!

 

[eppst1]

Awesome song and video - can't wait for the new CD!

 

[7thSaviour]

I have the CD preordered! Can't wait to hear it! Falconer for PPUSA X!

 

[OrbWeaver]

Did you pre-order the one with all the bonus tracks, or did you pre-order the US release? I cancelled my pre-order because it was the US release. I want bonus tracks, dammit! So I'll probably buy it once the European release appears on eBay.

Because Metal Blade wants around $30 for the thing.
