You must be thinking I'm crazy, don't you? I don't blame you, really. I mean, who else would drive, at 2 am, fifteen miles away from home in the freezing cold, sit under an old oak tree with just a hooded shirt, and listen to Falkenbach while being drenched in rain like a drowning rat? Would you like to know why I did that? Why I felt the need to do such an outrageous thing? It's simple. I gazed for about 3 minutes at Tiurida's artwork. It's not really a "Picassian" work, not by any stretch, but it's a freaking mind twister. Within a few minutes, I had realized that if I really wanted to do this record justice, if I really wanted to carve out an honest review for Falkenbach's latest release, I had to feel it, not just listen to it. And what better way to feel a folk metal album than to listen to it alone, in the rain, at 2 am somewhere around nothing? Read more ›› |

\m/ this is good album... but it's similar "2003 - Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" a little melo more folky  i want more aggression... just like "2005 - Heralding - The Fireblade" but this is another good album by Falkenbach, with very good atmosphere...

Its a good album, not their best... something is missing in my opinion.. the epicness, the atmosphere are still there, but in an inferior level..

As always - good music from Falkenbach. But this time there is lack of some "claws" or "fire" in it. Good epic, nice melodies but still no claws... I could give it 7. From the other side when you listen it at the evening or night (silence, black window, dark outside...) it shows its other face: best music for relax  Than I can give it even 9. I assume that how you see this album is very related to your current mood.

So far I love this album. I've never been overwhelmed by Falkenbach before - this is their first album to actually hold my attention. Lovely! Good balance of everything.

^ Oh I love the instrumentals! But if you're hoping for big vocal performances then you totally have a point.

Well i will have to check Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty as it's being compared to it, specially as bad rip off, but as i was saying on falkenbach thread i like this album, i find Where His Raven Fly... and Tanfana to be the more interesting on the album.

I like this album, even if it's not the best Falkenbach record so far. Maybe it's just that I haven't listened to the band's music for a long time, but I enjoyed both the traditional epic tracks and instrumental tracks.

Not sure why this is rated so much lower than the others.

Maybe most heavier and epic album, most BM in some way. Its heavy and powerful, all arguments, singing , lyrics English language all , all works fine here

The first two tracks alone were enough to give this album an 8!
