This is the third full-length album of Falkenbach, one-man project of
V. Vratyas. This time he choose three musicians for help - Bolthorn,
Hagalaz and Tyrann. After many, many years of waiting we had the right to
expect very good material. And so... there is "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty".
But is it the album we are waiting for?
This is a hard thing for a fan of any band to write about an album which is
more difficult than others. So now I'm in a similar situation. I don't want to
write that the new Falkenbach is a bad album. But...
Well, we have here over 40 minutes of epic folk metal in seven
tracks. The new material is more melodic and (it's hard to find a good
word...) clear. All the raw and war climate of the old Falkenbach records
go away. There is no black metal vocals, only clean. For some this may
be good, for some - no. Today's Falkenbach is more acoustic aftre
all. "The Ardent Awaited Land" - old song from "...En Their Medh..." was
re-recorded and it's a good example of the Falkenbach changes. The new wersion
is more delicate and acoustic.
The sound of the album is also too clear and the atmosphere of old times
has simply disappeared.
After listening to this album I've got a problem - how to estimate this
strange album? If it could be compared with old Falkenbach records my
estimation wouldn't be so high. And so it is. But if you like folk / epic metal you should listen to "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty".
