Thrust the Dagger Deep11. Rapture Before song-writing began for the follow-up to 'Black Moon Rising', Falconer took some time off. Stefan Weinerhall decided not to rush the writing process, but rather take an extra year just to make sure the written material would be of the utmost quality. Some of the earlier material was scrapped and re-written halfway into the process; additionally, Stefan re-wrote one song with his old Mithotyn bandmate, Karl Beckmann (guitars/keyboards). The echoes from Mithotyn are surely noticeable on the track 'Rapture'. Stefan adds: "Finally, we got the chance to incorporate some keyed fiddle and bagpipe into the music - something that has always been a wish from us, just to get that extra medieval and folky feel to it. In that time, we also wrote the most intense ballad ever, which turned out to be 'Rejoice The Adorned' - only featuring piano, keys and strings." Mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque, 'From A Dying Ember' was also recorded at LaRocque's Sonic Train Studio. Stefan concludes: "To sum the album up, we can say that 'From A Dying Ember' has some things that really stand out from a usual Falconer album. A lot of things happening and more elements to the music than ever before!" Metal Blade Records Item #157142Code: Falconer-Ember-2020
