Comments guitar player Stefan Weinerhall: Northwind, the fifth album of FALCONER is a return to the folkish style after some experiment on the last one. Very melodic and catchy, and with Mathias back on vocals he gives the album that extra epic touch that none other can do. The album is not a concept album although the title sums up the atmosphere of both the music and the lyrics. From catchy metal to sweet ballads to medieval minstrels gone electrified, there´s something for all tastes.
The album will be released as a limited first edition including a bonus-cd with recordings of four Swedish folk songs and a video documentary of the album recordings.
