Valfunde/Amesoeurs - Split

Bands: Valfunde, Amesoeurs

Album: Valfunde/Amesoeurs Split
Genre: Black Metal (Valfunde), Black Metal/Post-Rock (Amesoeurs)
Country of Origin: France
Year: 2007

Track Listing:

1. Hopital (Valfunde)
2. "Serenade" De Verlaine (Valfunde)
3. Les Ruches Malades (Amesoeurs)

First post in 15 days! And just in time for Christmas, yay! This wonderful split contains two new Valfunde songs, which sound much like Peste Noire's Folkfuck Folie; not surprisingly, given that Valfunde is Famine's (solo?) project. The new Amesoeurs song is brilliant and features Audrey on vocals; the production is bit less polished but that doesn't stop the song from being gorgeous, clear and atmospheric.

Falconer - Northwind

Band: Falconer
Album: Northwind
Genre: Power Metal
Country of Origin: Sweden
Year: 2006

Track Listing:

1. Northwind
2. Waltz With the Dead
3. Spirit of the Hawk
4. Legend and the Lore
5. Catch the Shadows
6. Tower of the Queen

8. Perjury and Sanctity
9. Fairyland Fanfare
10. Himmel Så Trind
11. Blinded
12. Delusion
13. Home of the Knave
14. Black Tarn

Falconer are a Power Metal band with Folk and Viking Metal influences, not surprisingly so, as Falconer contains two members of Mithotyn. Unlike many Power Metal bands, the vocals and riffs don't fall into limpid floweriness; Falconer's vocalist is powerful and incredible and their riffs are powerful yet catchy. Northwind is quite possibly their best release to date.
