Falchion's music is often called folk-inspired pagan/viking
metal. Band has founded in May 2002 in Lahti Finland by Juho Kauppinen
(lead guitars, vocals), Joonas Simonen (keyboards) and Ville
Vehviläinen (drums). A bass player Seppo Tiaskorpi joined Falchion in December
2002. Also Sami Heinonen joined Falchion in March 2003 as a rhythm guitar
player. This composition stayed from March 2003 till October 2003, but
it has changed after that.
Falchion started to record their first demo cd "Glory of the sword" in
June 2003 with Juha Kallas at LYK school studio, Lahti. It had finished
not until November 2003, because Ville Vehviläinen didn't play all his
parts for the demo because he went to army. He lost his motivation for
the band. So did Joonas Simonen. Ville Vehviläinen, Sami Heinonen and
Joonas Simonen left Falchion in October. Falchion got Teemu Peltonen as
a drum player and Jani Laine as a rhythm guitar player in October 2003.
Teemu Peltonen recorded the rest of the drums for the demo in November.
Falchion decided to continue without keyboard player.
Band signed one album with Japanese label World Chaos Production in
December 2003. The recording of their debut album "Legacy of heathens"
started in June 2004 at Studio Watercastle, Jyväskylä with Arttu Sarvanne.
The recordings lasted 9 days and Arttu Sarvanne had professional touch
in the studio. He mixed album 8 days. "Legacy of heathens" went to its
mastering session in October. It was mastered by Timo Lehtimäki in
Studio 57, Alaveteli.
Sami Heinonen had joined back to Falchion in September 2004 as the
third guitar player. Juho Kauppinen added accordion to band and he decided
to play both guitar and accordion with vocals..
