History
The band formed in 1989. In 1995, no more than three demos were released - ''Skinn Av Sverði Söl Valtiva'', ''Læknishendr'', and ''Ãsynja''. A total of seven demos have been recorded since the band's inception; however, only five of these demos are known about. With the exception of the ''Havamal'' demo (which is allegedly clean folk music), the band started out with a raw sound, with considerable black metal influence. Since then, Falkenbach has progressed into more of a matured, epic band.
Most of Falkenbach’s lyrics were written in English language|English, but some were written in Old Norse language|Old Norse, Latin, and Old German. Most, if not all of the lyrics written in Old Norse language|Old Norse are actually taken from heathen literature: for example, the chorus lines in the song "Thor's Oak|Donar’s Oak" are actually verses four and five in GrÃmnismál, part of the Edda (Grimnir’s Song).
In 1995, recording of the debut album ''Fireblade'' began, but due to equipment troubles, the recording process was ceased shortly before mixing began. ''Fireblade'' was not released, and in December of the same year, recording for ''...En Their Medh Riki Fara...'' started. The recording for the actual debut album was completed in March 1996.
