Falconer- Black Moon Rising (Metal Blade Records)

Falconer are back with their 8th album and they only seem to be getting better with time! "Black moon rising" is a melodic power metal album with folk elements and amazing guitar riffs and solos. All the songs are memorable and instantly stick with you, thanks to Mathias Blad's incredible vocals that light up each song and make it sound epic. There are some slower paced songs like "Scoundrel And The Squire" that act as intermissions to more powerful pieces like "Locust Swarm" and "Halls and Chamber" but are equally interesting and melodic!



93/100
