Nine tracks and one bonus track were recorded and mixed during the 24 days.
The album was met with critical success, and demand for live performances led to the addition of session members.įalconer returned to Los Angered in November 2001. Their debut album Falconer was recorded in three weeks and was released in March in Europe and May in the United States. In November 2000, the band entered the Los Angered Recording (now Sonic Train Studios) with Andy LaRocque and Jacob Hansen behind the knobs. He wrote nearly all Falconer's music and lyrics. Weinerhall played bass on the first album before switching to his more accustomed role as guitarist for their second album, The Misanthropocalypse. He and his Mithotyn bandmate, Karl Beckman, made two albums with the black, thrash metal band Indungeon. Weinerhall had played in the Viking metal band Mithotyn from their formation until their eventual split in 1999. Eventually, the band signed to Metal Blade Records. After shopping the demo to labels, drummer Karsten Larsson (also ex-Mithotyn) was added to the lineup and Blad joined as a permanent member. A demo was recorded using a drum machine and Swedish actor/singer Mathias Blad agreed to do vocals as a session member. He had planned to form a folk-influenced melodic metal band similar to his previous project, but with a focus on clean singing rather than harsh vocals. Stefan Weinerhall, born 1976 in Mjölby, Sweden founded Falconer in 1999.
The group released three albums: In the Sign of the Ravens (1997, Black Diamond Productions) followed by King of the Distant Forest (1998, Invasion Records), and finishing with Gathered Around the Oaken Table (1999, Invasion Records).
Much of the material featured on the three albums of their career were previously composed or featured on one of their previous demos such as the song "The Guardian" from Promo '96. As Mithotyn, they did not release an album until 1997. After one year, they renamed themselves Mithotyn. In 1992, the blackened death metal act Cerberus was founded by Stefan Weinerhall, Christian "Christer" Schütz and Johan, who left shortly afterward.
