Falconer - New Album In The Works
The following update has been posted on the official Falconer website:
"Hi folks!
Now we have all the new songs for the next album written. There's just the finishing touches left to do. We will start recording around christmas this year and then mix it in May 2008. Faster and more complex than the last album is a quite good description I would say.
The 3rd birth has happened within Falconer in a year as Magnus got a little son.
All shirts are sold out now and we're looking for companies to handle the printing and selling of the official merchandise in the future. As long as it is a fair deal it's interesting. We'll see what happens.
Until then, take care!
Stefan / 12th of October '07"

Falconer Rejoined By Singer Mathias Blad
Swedish epic/power metallers FALCONER have confirmed the departure of singer Kristoffer Göbel. In a posting on their official web site, the band write, "Well, once again the line up of FALCONER is changing. 'Now again!!' you might say. It does sound a bit unstable to do this every once in a while, I know.
"After realizing that changing vocalist was not that applauded by people nor was the musical change on the last album (isn't it great when people are open minded....) we thought: 'OK, sailing towards the wind is getting boring' (personally I would say a sense of cynicism started to grow), 'Why not sail with it instead in good mood?'
"After changing the new music into more folkish style (and loving the sound of it) Karsten and I thought, 'Why not go the whole way, it would really fit the music.
"So hereby we present you the return of Mathias Blad.
"So we thank Kristoffer for the years in the band. It's been a great time we allways will cherish and we assure you all that this has nothing to do with personal matters. We wish all the best for Kriss in the future.
"This kind of thing is about the worst things you can do to a bandmate if you're all friends but in the end, this is not a sand box, it's a band."
FALCONER's fourth studio album, "Grime Vs. Grandeur", was released in May via Metal Blade Records. The CD features guest performances by Snowy Shaw (MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL) on drums and Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) on additional lead vocals.

Falconer Back In Business
The Swedish power metal band Falconer have found a new guitarplayer after finding the new bassplayer Magnus Lindhardt. The mans name is Jimmy Hedlund.
---------------
Diary of the Falconer site:
"On the 18:th and 19:th of September we held an audition
for the few guitarists we had chosen out from those who had
applied for the job.
We played one song from every album.
On the evening the 18:th we went to see Kristoffer
perform with one of his coverbands "Copycats" for a full house.
It can´t be only work. Name a rehearsal weekend with Falconer
where everyone is feeling OK on the Sunday. Ha ha!!
We never learn!
When we tested the last guitarist he played the songs exactly as I did.
Every boing, pling and shugga-shugga was there.
But we wanted a good solo guitarist and when he started to do his
solos the rest of the band got lost leaving Jimmy to be the only
one playing correctly.
Hmmm, ehrr well.
It really just took only about 20 seconds into the first song and
I watched Kristoffer's face: yup it was a fact,
Jimmy Hedlund was the guy."
Stefan, 21/9-04
---------------
They now have a full band to rehearse the new upcoming album, and also to play some older material with Jimmy. The title of the next album will be "GRIME VS. GRANDEUR" wich will contain no guest appearances.

Falconer is up for a line-up change
Once again Falconer is up for a line-up change.
Second guitarist Anders Johansson and
bass player Peder Johansson are out.
A big discussion took place after the gig in Motala (Swe)
as we started to talk about the future of Falconer.
Two camps quickly formed about the issue.
The talk started to get more and more aggressive
until it took an ugly turn as Peder started
to let his hands do the talking, but luckily Kristoffer
stepped in and stopped it from getting really bad.
Although our intoxicated state of mind probably made
the argument worse, it has left deep scars.
After this incident the contacts has been very chilly
with especially Peder but also Anders.
Karsten, Kristoffer and I believe that the tension will undermine
the future atmosphere of the band if they were to stay.
It's better to go our separate ways and let them follow their
ideas with their other band Guineapigs.
We don't think nor hope that Peder and Anders have a different
opinion about the decision we have taken.
Sincerely!
Stefan, Kristoffer and Karsten.
