Suden Uni and Voimasta are much more sing-along and "happy" sounding than anything Falkenbach has done.

maybe just stay away then. or don't. they do have stuff like that, a lot in fact (great drinking music) but i'm goin to upload two songs here that aren't much like that:cthulufhtagn said:

Laeknishendr (...En Medh Their Riki Fara...)
mark, "vanadis" or "when gjallarhorn will sound..." or "donar's oak" aren't sing-songy? you what?

Like I said, I don't find them sing-songy as much as I just a simple case of "happy" sounding keyboard melodies, like flutes & shit. I think given the theme/imagery of the band, it works really well. And honestly, Moonsorrow incorporates a ton of the same elements.
When I think sing-songy, I think of like, Gamma Ray or something.

Yeah, when I think sing-along I think of stuff like Ensiferum, Finntroll and early Thyrfing. Suden Uni and Voimasta certainly fit that bill.
Falkenbach takes on more serious approach IMO. The debut is basically black metal with some epic keys thrown in, especially on song #2 (I think) with that long, but awesome key outro.
Ah, ok. You don't have to upload them, I can't D/L to this computer (or stream) - work laptop. Maybe later.

My impression of listening to a Falkenbach album:
Song one: Hey this is awesome!
Song two: YEAAHHHHHH METAL
Song three: wait... third song? what happened to the second song? That was just a different song?
song four: uhm... this song was exactly the same as the last one...
song five: ehhh... *stop CD*
even if I get that far.

Fuckers have a song called "Beer Beer" for crying out loud. How can you not sing along to that?

yeah, the latest one is seriously kinda average. of course, by "average" I mean not as ass-kickery as the first two, especially the classic debut.

I kinda see where J is coming from, with regards to the singalong aspect of early Moonsorrow. Falkenbach, on the other hand, have that glorious epic feeling to them
Then Moonsorrow became epic and Verisakeet is one of the best albums of the year.
Moonsorrow's latest > Falkenbach's latest, but overall? I declare it a tie.
@Mark - "flutes and shit".

En their medk riki fara - classic buy or die
magni blandinn - well above average to great
OK nefna... - average to a bit above average
new one, Heralding the Fireblade, haven't heard it.
J. said:
Ahh, ok.
I agree on "magni blandinn..." and I remember liking OK Nefna quite a bit more than just average. I haven't heard the "medk riki" album yet (soon).

OK Nefna is above average compared to other Falkenbach. Still better than most other shit out there.
