There are two artists bearing the name Falconer:

1) Falconer is Stefan Weinerhall’s (former guitarist of Mithotyn) Swedish project, with strong influences, aimed at being similar to Mithotyn, but (in contrast to typical harsh vocal-ed /) with clean vocals.

Created in May 1999, the project initially started unnamed. Their self-titled debut album Falconer was released in March 2001. Since then, they’ve released six other albums: Chapters From a Vale Forlorn (2002), The Sceptre Of Deception (2003), Grime Vs Grandeur (2005), Northwind (2006), Among Beggars And Thieves (2008) and Armod (2011).

Vocalist Mathias Blad, who performed on the first two albums and on the third album as a guest vocalist on a few songs, returned for the recording process of the 5th album, Northwind. On albums The Sceptre Of Deception and Grime Vs Grandeur vocals were performed by Karl Kristoffer Göbel. With the addition of the new singer, Falconer’s music also changed and became faster and more aggressive. Many fans thought that with these two albums and a new singer’s style FALCONER moved too far away from their influences, which was their trademark from the very beginning, so eventually the decision was made to have Mathias Blad back on vocals. Mathias’ unique, melancholic, mid-range vocals, atypical for in general, was also one of the Falconer’s trademarks that most fans considered to be irreplaceable. With Mathias back on vocals, their album Northwind (2006) also marked the return of more influenced music, in the vein of the first two albums.

    I listen to many, many different bands (only a few of them are listed here on my lastfm profile)... And boy do I love this band. It's the perfect mix of several other great bands' styles with an original pinch of salt that makes it worth my attention.

    New album is great, it took me some time to appreciate but it's really more of a winter album. I hope they do more in this style.
