  • Habe heute zum ersten mal was von der Band gehört und muss sagen joooo sgeil xD werde mir auf jeden Fall ma ein oder mehr Alben zulegen.

  • i am glad to call Falconer my favorit band, this is my second favorite from them :)

  • It is a shame that this band will most likely never tour the USA. I may have to go to Europe to see Falconer and also Hammerfall. They should tour with Manowar.

  • This rocks my life

  • Simplesmente. FANTASTICO

  • damn that's a hella cool lace cravat

    oakland represent

  • the opening riff is BALLER AS FUCK

  • One of the most silly songs I have ever heard, but still one of my favorites for the ridiculousness of it all, also the riffs are pretty amazing.

  • 0:53 such a nice outfit mathias is wearing ;D (except for the neck 'babateaux')

  • Makes me proud my last name is Schmid (German for Smith)

  • dragon force is anal

  • svensk power-metal som bäst!

    swedish power-metal at its best!

  • want to see this song live

  • Stefan is still a god on the guitar, but they really need to bring back the mithotyn vocals, this is the only falconer song with bareable vocals

  • holy shit these guys wear ye-old fashion with style. i miss those days, of awesome beards and great-coats.

  • Can someone please tab the main guitar riff for this song? :P

  • Sexy 

  • Falconer = Awesome

    I'm happy I got to see 'em live even though Mathias Blad had problem with the sound in his earpiece on Wacken '07 and sounded like crap on videos and missed notes all the time. But when I saw 'em live they were nothing but awesome!

  • Man, the moment he sings the title of the song, that's the moment I realised that the singer was not just very good, but actually brilliant.

    I have listened to many bands, among which was manticora. I don't know i I ever will after hearing this band.

  • Falconer = Unique. No need to compare. Don't forget to buy their upcomming ablum!

  • Falconer, Deamons and Wizards, Nightwish, Steel Attack, Iced Earth. Some of the best bands that i have ever listened to.

  • @MoHSilencer1 haha, dont forget Dark Moor!!! :D love them

  • @Leprechaun003onXBL yeah shit how did i forget them

  • i don't know why ppl keep making comparisons with other bands, when i'm making a barbecue here in BRASIL, which takes all the afernoon, i don't like to listen to only one band! this one entered on my playlist! what does matter is the quality of the song and what you feel listening it! i FELT good! congratulations for this great quality!! GREAT BAND!

  • @xMADCx

    Thank you :)

  • @xMADCx yeah u r from brasil man. the people here in europe and america just dont get it. Even the Bands themeselves are friends and partners but the fans still fighting each other.

    it is completely nonsense saying one band is shit compared to..., music is one, it is art, it is technique, inspiration and creativity. Furthermore it is fun^^

    it would be nice if ppl realize that and just enjoy great artists and great musicians.

  • @xMADCx deixa os gringos mano, lah fora eles levam tudo a sério...

  • dragonfroce? falconer? the Bards!! BLIND GUARDIAN!!!!!!!!

  • Screw Studioforce - yack about that shit somewhere else.

  • First Falconer song I ever heard was Lord of the Blacksmiths. Instantly fell in love. They don't get nearly enough credit or recognition.

  • I wish to meet this man who makes uncrushable shields and swords that never miss!

  • Finally a version of the song that has loud bass.

  • I. Love. This. Band.

    Pure, righteous metal.

  • ehhhh boring i like Rhapsody better

  • To Seabutcher..

    Dragonforce can't play for shit, have u seen they're live performances? They rely on effects and loads of over dubz....Now Children of Bodom...there's a band!

  • awesome voice o.o

  • @doghousepiiman oh you mean studioforce?

  • SCEPTERS AND CROWNS AND OTHER THINGS!

    \m/

  • amazing band. PLEASE COME TO AMERICA FOR A SHOW!!!!

  • SUCH AN UNDERRATED BAND!!!!! Kicks Dragonforce's ass any day!

  • Most everything does lol. :P

  • @ANOLDMANONCRACK

    amen!

  • @ANOLDMANONCRACK couldnt agree more

  • @ANOLDMANONCRACK the more underrated the better music!! ;)

  • @ANOLDMANONCRACK lol i was listening to DF for some time but them i started listening HammerFall and DF wanished from my life

    i started to think their lyrics were kinda gayish

    + my friend introduced me to Falconer and damn they are good too

  • @Shadowbanex93 Hammerfall fuck yeah!

  • @TyrantGaby Yeah Hammerfall and Falconer are my top 2 bands and they are closely trailed by Nightwish and Smash Mouth but Smash Mouth sings a completely different genre. This is one of Falconers top songs probably followed by Trail of Flames and Man of the Hour. 5/5 song.

  • Heh, i'm glad they didn't add "Maces that destroys everything" since that wouldn't compute with "Uncrushable shields" :P Anyway, awesome song, especially the last chorus' the sound of the smithing hammer makes the whole thing SO FUCKING EPIC, just saying ^^ Hail from denmark!

  • I always laugh at the line "sceptres and crowns and other things". The rest of the lyrics are so strong, then this one just kinda trails off.

    Not knocking it though, Falconer are amazing, and this is one of my favourites by them. Go Falconer!

  • wow man i remember when this album came out this was my fav. song...havnt checked them out since...

  • Same here bro.  Now I can hear the hammer's beat!

  • Yeah, thats true bro, never really noticed that on the lyrics until u writed it! ^^

  • this song could honestly be about the Video Game Diablo 2 bahaha when i think about the one verse

    With wisdom and sorcery

    from the beginning of time

    magnificent works are forged

    for gods and for mighty kings

    Uncrushable shields

    powerbelts and magic rings

    Swords that never miss

    sceptres and crowns and other things

    these guys fucking kick ass though amazing vocals intense melodies Powerful as shit \m/ love it just started listening to them recently i love Mathias hes genius.

  • totally, and when you would add the gems to the swords and it buffed up the stats and gave it elemental powers...totally.

  • I'll say what I always say when I hear a really good metal song: YEAAAAAAH!

  • FAlconer is great!

  • Before Falconer i wouldnt change Rhapsody but when Falconer appeared they will never be out of my heart I only wish to see them in live

  • I hear Rhapsody and Falconer and personally Falconer is my favourite band,Rhapsody is good but nothing like Falconer, Power Metal wtih Folk influences and sense in lyrics

  • I LOVE this mix of Power Metal with a Musical Singers voice.

    With a typical Power Metal Shouter it would be one in a million, because of the poor songwriting.

    But Mathias makes it special

  • have you seen rhapsody at all ?:) you would love it

  • and im not saying that falconer isnt great, because falconer IS great, i was just saying that Rhapsody also has a musical singers voice togheter with power metal :p

  • I think you have confused the genres, there are almost no shouters in Power metal.

  • love the hammer sound near the end just wish it could have been throughout the whole song, as a matter of fact, i went crazy hearing it this morning b/c i only heard the beginning and im like wtf? where is the sound? i ripped the song from the cd TWICE to make sure, checked my earphones, and tried YT and Windows Media Player, but thats when i realized it only comes up near the end.

  • If they put the hammer through the entire thing we would have reached utter perfection, but then where would we be without any room to improve?

  • Falconer just made a new Genre: Epic Metal.

  • ah, but they did not pioneer epic metal.

    though participate in it, they do.

  • I might be downrated for this, but no, they don't play epic metal... Epic metal is just another "double"-cross genre, it isn't an actual metal genre :p just a fan term, but as for Falconer, it's folk/power :)

  • 'Scepters and crowns and other things' possibly the laziest power metal writing i've heard... lol

  • ahem no not really the one who wins the medal in the laziest lyrics is dragonforce by far XD personally i dont care about lyrics as long as the music is great btw i love both dragonforce and falconer but i just started listening to falconer not too long ago and personally mathias's voice is sooo good i could listen to it all day unlike zp from dragonforce witch i get tired after listening to two albums in a row anyways falconer is so underated this bands deserves more popularity !!!!!!

  • @DollBrideMask

    hahahaahahhaah right said :D

  • Yeah, totally different guy. Mathias Blad is the original. The guy who did Cross Emotional Skies was the vocalist from 2003-2005, I think, before being fired so Blad could come back.

  • FOLK METAL :d

    LOVE IT TO DEATH

    WHEN I DIE I WANT THIS SONG TO PLAY IN MY FUNERAL XD

  • Omg, this is my new fav song from Falconer! <3

  • epic metal

  • seriously dragonforce and hammerfall are completely different from falconer

    falconer is folk metal. hammerfall and dragonforce are power metal.

    and personaly i think falconer is way better than the other two.

    anyways this is one of my favorite songs

  • falconer isn't folk metal... i agree no power metal but if anything it's just basic heavy metal... cause they dont use any folk instruments no pipes or anything of that nature maybe they use a mandolin time to time

  • Actually Falconer is pretty much a power metal band with folk influences. A different kind of power metal than most bands within the genre (check Kamelot's latest albums -kinda hard to understand why they're considered power metal either).

    Awesome song.

  • haha nah man if youre gonna say that you might aswell say Iced Earth is power metal and so is Blind Guardian... which would be total bullshit seeing as their voices put a completely different feel in their music with a more manlier voice

  • Well, Iced Earth is usually considered more on the thrash metal side, but they're labeled as power, too, most of the time. Blind Guardian, instead, began as a speed metal band that got so complex people just didn't know what to call them and ended up saying they were power metal. Lol.

  • Power metal is something classified at the voice. Power metal is instrumantal neraly the same as some folk metal bands.

  • falconer is folk metal... Power/Folk to be exact, though their "Dreams and Pyres" has CLEAR Symhonic elements... as for folk, check out Mindtraveller and Quest for the Crown... They use "folk instrument replica" aka keyboard :)

  • Dragonforce=Epic Fail!!!!! they suck so bad. Every thing is the exact same it sucks!

  • god can we have one power metal vid were some1 doesnt bring up dragonforce aka studioforce i saw them live at ozzfest one year they fucked up evey solo they played

  • WTF! F*cking Genius!!!

  • Love tis music, it makes me happy ;DD

  • Best song from Falconer.. LOVE IT! xD

  • I was searching falconer trying to look for birds of prey. But I found this instead... and I LOVE IT.

  • is it just me or does that one dude up front in the pics look like Neal Patrick Harris?

  • Hahahaha! He does!

    Barney rules.

  • 38 years old... reminds me of my cousin. he is 6..

  • falconer gives me a hard on :D

  • the drummer is my landlord... :)

  • awesome

  • this is like dragonforce but wayyy better cause they can actually play it!

  • woww i couldn't agree more (Y)

  • Dragonforce can play their music.

    They just improvise.

    And both Falconer and Dragonforce are awesome.

  • yay, someone else who shares all my views about this whole thing :D

  • Dragonforce can play, oh Gods they can play music. They just can't write for shit.

    When I listen to Dragonforce, I hear raw untapped potential. They've got skill, just no fucking idea how to use it.

    The lyrics have no sense or theme, the guitar is mostly just fast noise with no particular beat or tune.

    Dragonforce only got big because they were on Guitar Hero.

    Bands like Falconer, however, have some truly great songs and just aren't appreciated nearly enough.

  • Actually, Dragonforce got popular before guitar hero, guitar hero just made them more popular.

  • Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying, I guess.

    That was all around the same time I was getting into power metal, so I don't really know.

  • Valley of the Damned was their first big hit, followed by Fury of the Storm

  • Wait, your claiming that any metal-metal [power]

    can write ANY good lyrics what so ever? Man if

    this is a good lyric then please, get new frames

    of reference.

  • Compared to Dragonforce, bands like Falconer and HammerFall can, in fact, write good lyrics.

    Notice how some of the lines are actually related to each other in any way whatsoever.

    I'm also claiming you didn't quite pay enough attention in school.

  • so basicly your haveing a rageing hard on for a two while compairing it to a one when there's tens out there to be had? Talk about cutting youself short.

    Thank you for the kind words, true, I did my best not to succumb to the indoctrination centers social dogmas.

  • Er, no.

    Suggest some better-written songs. <_<

  • @Seabutcher Great comment.

  • @Seabutcher Dragonforce is not only known because of Guitar Hero. I listened to them way before because I followed the career of Herman Li. They do play music and, beside, all that "fast noise" really fits well inside because it's all about the energy there. Lyrics are not that important when it comes to the energy of the guitar. Beside they're extreme power metal and the only frustration would be that so many kids are hotshots jizzing on that band and not giving chance to others. Thats not prob

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I respectfully disagree. The only time I've herd dragonforce is on guitar hero, and i'm into alot of underground bands, be it falchion, empyrean plague and woods of ypres. I hear of dragonforce touring with disturbed or something like two years ago, and thats pretty much it

  • @skimbap You're into "underground music" and you've never heard of Dragonforce!? Haha, fail. At least you could've heard'em on last.fm. Before that they were called differently but I don't expect that somebody from Canada follow something that's happening in Europian underground clubs ^_^

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 I never said I've never herd of them, its just that they don't have a huge name up here, like the only way they're known is by guitar hero. I don't see any tours, and I might have herd them on the radio maybe once

  • @skimbap Why should they have a "Huge name" there? It's all the way across the ocean. Name seven Japanesse bands and I'll take you as "someone who listens to Underground Music" :} I know that you can't because you see things on MTV and similar shajze ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Idk why you'd bring up japan :S, seeing as they're an english band... don't really care about japanese music, but hey, what the hell: Doom, Loudness, Sigh, X Japan, Animetal, Aion (Japanese version) and Earthshaker.

    Never said that they should have a huge name here, just that the biggest way they get renown is from guitar hero. I don't see why you're arguing with me, maybe you're looking to fight online? Either way you're just putting words into my mouth, and failing epically =)

  • @skimbap And I don't know why did you say that sentence "Here in North America where things really matter". WTF? lol And is't kind of lame to remove your comment after you've failed so hard and than put another to prove that you know how to use Wikipedia ^_^

    You should know what phrase "Underground" means and, beside that I'm arguing with all those self-confident pricks all over the net, especially when they don't know what they're talking about. :)

    So, to clear it out for you - Dragonforce FTW

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Did I not name you 7 bands? It matters not from where I had taken them, I did exactly what you ask, and what do you do? Attack my removed comment, wich shows you have pretty much nothing against my arguments =)

    And to clear it out to you - Dragonfroce = guitar hero

  • @skimbap Well, it's not everyones problem that you heard'em on Guitar Hero :} So, to clear it out for you - your band knowledge is silly. I have nothing more to say. Keep on using Wikipedia xD

  • @c1k4ml3kc3 Thats right =) one last comment that doesn't make much sense then leave for good ^.^

  • @Seabutcher Dragonforce actually SUCK playing. check out anythin Live.. theyre good and tweaking thier stuff to SOUND good

  • @Seabutcher IMO every goddamn dragonforce sounds exactly the same, thats why i wont listen to them, your totally right.

  • @Seabutcher Dude, I totally agree. Speed doesn't always equal great music. Helloween can play, but I don't like their songs; for example.

  • @sirroxalot - It doesn't matter how many octaves you can shred, but rather how you use them.

  • @Seabutcher and with some freaking good source of inspiration, i have made a DnD adventure when i listen to my playlist of falconer

  • @Seabutcher i agree their lyrics need work but their singer is gone so the new one (whoever it will be) i hope brings a bit of variety although it can be argued that they are metaphorical and that its their symoblism that caries the message. as for guitar i think sam needs work herman does always play fast but accompanied by a nice balance of slow melodies (or ive seen from him playing without sam).

  • @Seabutcher haha, when it comes to theme....lets just say you could put their music literaly into World of Warcraft, Runescape, or some other midevil themmed game. considering their songs are about warriors, swords, adventures, dragons, ect

  • dragonforce can play their music ive seen them play it live but they do improvise sometimes but 90% of the time they play the song spot on

  • that hook reminds me of the trigun intro

  • Is it just me or does the guy at 3:00 look like Mikael Åkerfeldt (sorry, I don't know his name)?

  • oooook after listenin about 20 songs of Falconer that id make room for Hammerfall and Falconer beacuse they are gr-r-r-r-r--reat!!!!!!

  • these guys are pretty good but Hammerfall is in my heart!

  • So is the guy in the center 1:28 the singer? I saw Emotional skies and the singer had long hair, same or different?

  • Pretty sure they're different vocalists. It's tricky to find information on him, though.

  • English motherfucker. Do you speak it?

  • the guy you see at 3:00 is called jimmy and thats my friends guitar teacher!!!!!!!

  • Nice!

  • could the sound possibly be worse quality??? it sounds like 8kbps or something, fucking youtube

  • Really? Sounds almost like my CD. Maybe you should get your speakers checked?

  • My ears actually hurt when I read that.

  • epic...

  • Fucking awesome,I listen to Falconer since theire first album and I still think that it's their best album...

  • hmm i have to agree. that or there new album among beggers and thiefs. that album rips as well.

  • this shit is great!

  • AMAZING SONG! Wtf is up with Cross Emotional Skys by the way? Is that a fucking joke? ITS HORRIBLE!

  • that is because mathias blad was not there. other wise it probably would of been great. haha.

  • Falconer IS the singer...and thats that. Without Mathias, there is no Falconer. I don't even regard the band that did the song Cross Emotional Skys as Falconer.

  • agreed. Blad is a great singer. By any chance are you Swedish? if so could you tell me if this guys are popular in Sweden.

    I take it you listen to Fusion? Listen to Greg Howe?

  • I'm Italian...I listen to every kind of music as long as it isnt rap, hip hop, R&B, you get the picture. I've listened to Greg Howe but I dont care for his music too much.

  • i see. I am much thesame. can you recomend me a good guitarist to listen to? if you know one. I just like greg howe because he keeps evolving, keeps on improving.

    but i am sure there are people that are way better than him.

  • Hi, check out Magnus Karlsson (Last Tribe, Allen Lande, Starbreaker etc.)

  • Glorious. There something about falconer that is just beyond comprehension...there music just seems so well timed, everything seems to have meaning...one band I really can't complain about.

    Can't wait for the new album.

  • wow thats their best song and one of the best power metal songs ever made

  • This song is made of pure Awesome!

  • hey ech0s... i demand you to shut the fuck up

  • This has got to be the best song I've heard from them, although all are good...

  • Great song

    Gotta love this band :D

    Speciellt "Himmel så trind" :3

  • these guys hold their own

  • mithotyn...hahahahaha pshhh

  • kill yourself.

  • /sigh He can't... he's too stupid to understand that he has to use the blade and not the handle.

  • crazy lyrics

  • the last chorus with the sound of a hammer hitting and anvil mixed with the snare is SO FUCKING SIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.

    FALCONER RULES

  • this is a good band i love it

  • great song.......

    like the others

  • Great song. Another great power metal band.

  • Japp they are great, but so very "known of" in Sweden either unfortunately

  • how does this band have so many consistantly small numbers of views? I mean these guys a great.

  • power symphony is another great power metal band =D oh and cant forget kamelot

  • Dream evil is the king of power metal ftw

  • OMG I love this, can anyone recommend some bands that are like this, basically power metal instrumentation, but not really high pitched vocals. I've already checked out the really popular power metal (Stratovarius, rhapsody, blind guardian etc..) Of the power metal I do have, Kamelot is probably my favourite but i really want bands similar to this in vocal style more than anything

    \m/

  • Check out "Mithotyn", Stefan Weinerhall's old band.

  • Hail me as the man ov steal, hail me as the song ov god, hail me as the king ov yours, I am the chosen one...
