"Heralding - The Fireblade" wird der Titel des neuen Falkenbach Albums sein. Es wurde noch vor "En Their Medh Riki Fara..." aufgenommen und sollte das eigentliche Debut Album Falkenbach werden. Erhebliche Probleme rund um die Aufnahme führten damals zum Abbruch der Aufnahmen des "Fireblade" Albums. Alles in allem werden 10 Stücke im TidalWave Studio aufgenommen. Einige davon haben in der Zwischenzeit ihren Weg auf andere Falkenbach Alben gefunden, wie "Laeknishendr" oder "Homeward Shore", die meisten der Stücke sind jedoch bislang unveröffentlich, z.B. Stücke wie "...En Their Medh Riki Fara...", "Of Forests Unknown" etc. Im Moment steht noch nicht fest ob alle 10 Stücke letztlich ihren Platz auf dem Album finden werden, es kann jedoch mit einer Spielzeit von 40-50 Minuten gerechnet werden. Die letzten Aufnahmen, das Mischen und Mastern etc. findet ab Ende Juli statt. Ein genaues Datum für die Veröffentlichung steht bisher nicht fest.
Heralding – The Fireblade will be the title of the upcoming Falkenbach album. This album was originally recorded before “…en their medh riki fara…”, and was meant to be the debut album of Falkenbach back then. Due to the bad equipment and a lack of competence of the engineer the recording was stopped and the songs were not completed. All in all 10 tracks will be rerecorded at TidalWave Studios. Some of them have been featured in the meantime on other Falkenbach albums, like “Laeknishendr” or “Homeward Shore” for example, but most of them are unreleased so far, like “…En Their Medh Riki Fara…”or “ Of Forests unknown”. At the moment it´s not sure if all the songs will make it on the album in the end, but you can expect a running time of about 40-50 minutes. The final mixing will be done at the end of July, the day of release has not been announced by Napalm Rec. yet.

1.) Der Grundgedanke war und ist, so wenig wie möglich, und nur das absolut Notwendige am Original zu verändern. Die Struktur der Lieder, die Texte und auch Titel bleiben gleich. Zudem ist es mir wichtig, daß all jene Menschen, die mit der Historie Falkenbachs vertraut sind, auch schon am Titel erkennen können, um welches Album es sich bei dem neuen Werk handelt.
2.) Es ist immer gut mit ein paar Liedern zu viel das Studio zu betreten, denn man kann nie vorab sagen wie das Resultat klingen wird. Auch bei den Aufnahmen zum letzten Album sind nicht alle Stücke auf dem Album erschienen, schlicht weil es an Zeit/Geld gemangelt hat um sie so umzusetzen, wie es nötig gewesen wäre.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) I wanted to change as less aspects of the original version of the new album as possible. Neither the arrangements, nor the lyrics or the title changed. I wanted everyone to realise what kind of album one holds on hands just by reading the title, at least those who know about the history of Falkenbach.
2.) It´s always a nice situation if you can enter the studio with a couple of songs too much in stock. You never know in advance how a song will sound like. There are also a couple of unreleased songs from the "Ok nefna..." studio-session left, as there was a lack of time/money, and no chance to complete them.

Hallo
Ich finde es eine sehr gute Idee diese Lieder nochmals neu aufzunehmen und kann es kaum erwarten. Nur eine Frage hätte ich da noch: Werden alle Texte im Booklet vorhanden sein?

Normalerweise sind alle Texte in den Booklets der CDs zu finde, es sei denn die Seitenzahl reicht nicht aus etc. Von daher werden auch beim kommenden Album zumindest die meisten Texte zu finden sein.

My review of the album:
Heathen Foray- Still a very good song. Has more energy than The Heathenish Foray (maybe to much?)
Of Forests Unknown- Aggressive like early Falkenbach songs are, but without a typical Falkenbach melody.
Hávamál- The best song on the record. A beautiful melody with wise lyrics in English taken from the Elder Edda. But Vratyas; why didn’t you write them in the original Norse language? For those who are interested I have written the lyrics as they would have been if they where written in Norse below.
Roman Land- Aggressive song with excellent lyrics including lyrics in old German. Good, but the spoken parts should not have been there.
Heralder- Aggressive, good lyrics, but compared to the earlier version of Heralder the melody does not work. A perfect version of Heralder for me would be a mixture of the screaming vocals on this album and the great melody from En þeir með ríki fara. Still don’t like the spoken part.
Læknishendr- Compared to the version on the ”En þeir með ríki fara” album it is bad. Maybe I will change my mind when I have heard it some times.
Walkiesjar- Mysterious, aggressive and good
Skirnir- I thought this was another version of the excellent Skirnir- track on the ”Læknishendr” demo, but I was wrong. The original Skirnir is better, but it is unfair to compare two totally different tracks. This is a nice song with interesting lyrics. Still don’t like the spoken parts, especially not the girl with the British accent.
Gjallar- A little disappointed. I dreamed about a song with Norse lyrics, that would lead my thoughts into Ragnarök. What I got was a song that was to long, without lyrics and to repetitious. By the way; quote from Vratyas: “ The song Gjallar indeed was featured on the mentioned demo and is one of the tracks recorded for the "Fireblade" Album. The original version was recorded as an instrumental, the new one will have vocals.” What did you mean by vocals? I just heard female humming.
The booklet: VERY nice layout and a beautiful cover. What I miss: translation of the old German lyrics, the Læknishendr lyrics and the original Hávamál text for us with special interest of this.
In general: A good album, but with some disappointments I must say.
Hávamál
Ljóð ek þau kann, er kann-at þjóðans kona ok mannskis mögr. Hjalp heitir eitt, en þat þér hjalpa mun við sökum ok sorgum ok sútum görvöllum.
Það kann ek þriðja: ef mér verðr þörf mikil hafts við mína heiftmögu, eggjar ek deyfi minna andskota, bíta-t þeim vápn né velir.
Þat kann ek it níunda: ef mik nauðr of stendr at bjarga fari mínu á floti, vind ek kyrri vági á ok svæfik allan sæ.
Nú eru Háva mál kveðin Háva höllu í, njóti sá, er nam
Þá nam ek frævask ok fróðr vera ok vaxa ok vel hafask, orð mér af orði orðs leitaði, verk mér af verki verks leitaði.
Ef ek skal til orrostu leiða langvini, und randir ek gel, en þeir með ríki fara heilir hildar til, heilir hildi frá, koma þeir heilir hvaðan.
Þat kann ek it fjögurtánda: ef ek skal fyrða liði telja tíva fyrir, ása ok alfa ek kann allra skil; fár kann ósnotr svá.
Nú eru Háva mál kveðin Háva höllu í, njóti sá, er nam
Þá nam ek frævask ok fróðr vera ok vaxa ok vel hafask, orð mér af orði orðs leitaði, verk mér af verki verks leitaði.
Nú eru Háva mál kveðin Háva höllu í, allþörf ýta sonum, heill sá, er kvað, heill sá, er kann, njóti sá, er nam, heilir, þeirs hlýddu.

"Gjallar- ... quote from Vratyas: “ The original version was recorded as an instrumental, the new one will have vocals.” What did you mean by vocals? I just heard female humming."
There are no vocals, it was meant to record them for this track, but there wasn´t enough time to make it at the studio.
Beside that, some lyrics are not meant to be printed in a booklet, nevertheless you can see people who are really interested in it find ways to get them ---> check the topic "lyrics" for example.
About the translation of the lyrics of "Roman Land", well, I never used to add translations, it´s a booklet, not a dictionary.
About the lyric you added, I think everyone should be able to find it on the internet without any problems, this goes for most of the things regarding translations, lyrics etc. in my opinion.

OK, I guess you are right in the last one, but It is not easy to find translations for the old germanic lyrics.

Endlich hab ich es in meinen Händen! Erstma großes Lob an das geile Digi Pak + Booklet. Sehr fein gestaltet. Und nun zu den Songs: 1. Heathen Foray - Fantastischer Track! Hat sich sofort ins Hirn gebrannt. Schöner cleaner Gesang und klasse Melodie. 2. Of Forests Unknown - Starkes Stück Black Metal. Finds klasse das man trotzdem noch raushören kann das es sich um Falkenbach handelt. Was ja bei vielen BM Bands nich so ist. 3. Havamal - Melodisch einwandfrei. Zudem hervorragend vorgetragen. GEIL! 4. Roman Land - Woah! Ein Brett! So muss es sein! ;D 5. Heralder - Mir gefällt die andere Version ein wenig besser, da es für mich "epischer" rüberkam. Trotzdem ne geile Neuaufnahme. 6. Laeknishendr - Ahhhhhh!! Ratter Ratter ;D Hammergeil! Wenn ich wählen müsste zwischen einen der Versionen würd ich mich zwar immernoch für die vom "en their..." Platte entscheiden. Trotzdem stark! 7. Walkiesjar - Geile Melodie! Tolles Screaming! Ganz Starker Song. 8. Skirnir - Screaming und cleane Vocals wechseln sich toll ab. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Eine Frage: Wer hat denn die weiblichen Vocals geliehen? 9. Gjallar - In meinen Augen wundervoller Instrumentalsong der perfekt den Abschluss des Albums darstellt. Augen zu und träumen. Fazit: Geniales Album! Danke Vratyas!

Hail ! I'm new at this place so I want to greet all of you first. I have only 2 Falkenbach albums (en their..., Heralding) but I really like them.
Yeah and Heralding is very good...every song has a good production and a summoning atmosphere! And it's completely different to stuff from other bands. Thx Vratyas!
Und übrigens komme ich aus dem schönen Ravensburg - nur die Begrüßung sollte international verständlich sein.

Hails! Heralding - The Fireblade is excellent! Despite previous members thoughts, I feel the latest rendition of Laekmishendr is incredibly good and overall this album offers alot of variance for old and new fans alike! I'm glad to hear you straining your throat again Vratyas with those killer growls, since they were sparse on Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty; not to knock it, excellent album as well. Voimasta Ja Kunniasta \m/

The scream vocals and spoken parts on "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" and "Heralding - The Fireblade" were done by Tyrann.

To hear the album the first time, i went to the forest with my cd-player in the night to have the perfect atmosphere. It was a fantastic feeling...
