Falkenbach is a Viking metal project from Germany. Falkenbach is currently signed to Napalm Records, an Austrian-based heavy metal label.
The band formed in 1989. In 1995, no more than three demos were released - Skinn Av Sverði Söl Valtiva, Læknishendr, and Ásynja. A total of seven demos have been recorded since the band's inception; however, only five of these demos are known about.
In 1995, recording of the debut album Fireblade began, but due to equipment troubles, the recording process was ceased shortly before mixing began. Fireblade was not released, and in December of the same year, recording for ...En Their Medh Riki Fara... started.
The recording for the actual debut album was completed in March 1996. After Magni Blandinn Ok Megentiri was released, Vratyas Vrakyas ceased recording music so he could focus more upon his record label Skaldic Art Productions.
In 2003, Vratyas Vrakyas returned to the studio with three other musicians and close friends of Vratyas to record Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty. The next and most recent Falkenbach album was recorded in August-September 2005, using the same session musicians he had used for Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty.
In 2006 Skaldic Arts Productions released a tribute album called "An Hommage to Falkenbach". It consisted of two parts, each limited to 500 units. The work contains 16 covers by diverse bands such as Eluveitie, Vinterriket, Hildr Valkyrie and more. |
