“Svarta Änkan”, a brand new song from Swedish metallers FALCONER, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The track comes off the band’s seventh album, “Armod”, which will be released in Europe on June 3 via Metal Blade Records. The CD features 11 songs completely sung in Swedish and four bonus tracks that are said to be English versions of the bandmembers’ favorite new songs.

“Armod” was once again recorded at KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque‘s Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden during December and January. FALCONER states, “The recording and mixing process went smoother than ever before.

“The album is embracing the Swedish folk music to a greater extent than before making it sound slightly more down to earth.

“The music spans from acoustic songs with cello, flute and fiddle to songs with blast beats and really heavy riffing.

“As said before this is a ‘one-time-only’ album and does not define the future sound of FALCONER, but it was about time to pay full notice to the infuence that has always made us different. Now we have that out of our system!”
