FALCONER – Chapters from a Vale Forlorn, LP

Falconer stands as a striking anomaly in the world of Power Metal. Eschewing the frantic high-notes of their contemporaries, the band's sophomore effort, Chapters from a Vale Forlorn, leans into the rich, theatrical baritone of Mathias Blad and the folk-laden riffing of Stefan Weinerhall.

Originally released in 2002, this album remains a masterpiece of medieval storytelling and melodic heavy metal. Whether it is the breakneck pace of "Lament of a Minstrel" or the haunting melodies of "The Past Still Lives On," this record is essential for anyone who appreciates the "Bardic" side of heavy metal.

This is the official Nameless Grave Records reissue and the first time this album has ever been available on vinyl. It is limited to 500 copies on black vinyl, including 100 available as a diehard with an exclusive patch from Silk and Steel.

Expected to ship in early July of 2026.

Recommended for fans of: Mithotyn, Blind Guardian, Skyclad, and Traditional European Heavy Metal.
