4.0 out of 5 stars Falconer - The Sceptre of Deception, June 11, 2008

This review is from: Sceptre Of Deception (Audio CD)

"The Sceptre of Deception" (2003) is the third release from Swedish folk/power metal band Falconer. This is a concept album; all the songs have to do with a story of Falconer's own devising, and which is further explained in the liner notes.

Broadway-style singer Matthias Blad has been replaced by Kristoffer Göbel (although Blad does appear on this album). Göbel's voice is vaguely similar, although he sings much more in the metal tradition.

Musically, Falconer continues to write interesting (if not amazing) power metal songs with catchy choruses. There's not a bad song on this album, but there's nothing destined for the metal hall of fame, either.

On the whole, this is quite a decent power metal album, although with Göbel replacing Blad, Falconer takes a step back toward the rest of the power metal pack.

I have routinely listened to there self-titled album and CFVF since purchasing them over a year ago. The old vocals took some getting use to but how can you ignore the crunchy melodic instrumentation? Now the vocals are...more in line with the music? Great. Glad I bought this one.
