Falconer and vocalist Mathias Blad has parted. The reason was clashes of schedules, Falconer wanted to give the \"live activity\" a serious try and take all chances they could get. Mathias' schedule for his musicals didn't make it very easy to go through with. The choices were to continue with him and thereby maybe not being able to tour after the next album. The second choice was to get a new singer losing a trademark of the band but being able to take the chances when they
come. Cease the day, as they say.
There are no hard feelings between us we just had different priorities. Mathias wanted to do what he had worked and strived for, for years while the rest of Falconer wanted to take the opportunity to experience something new and different. Mathias is not 100% out of the picture but is planned to appear as backing vocalist on future recordings.
The new vocalist is Kristoffer Göbel, also in the band Destiny. He is not a Mathias wannabe but has his own style, which also gives the band a chance to evolve.
The Trio Becomes A Quartet
Also new in the band are the former session musicians: Anders Johansson (guitar) and Peder Johansson (Bass).
They have played with the band for a year now so why not take them in as real members.
New Album
The new album is to be recorded in May at Los Angered studio once again. This time it will be a concept album but fear not dear fans, it will not be one of those weird hard listened concept albums. The music is mostly as it has been but with one lyrical story throughout the whole album. After the release of the new album Falconer will finally do a proper tour in Europe at least.
We understand that some of you think that the originality of Falconer is gone now with Mathias out of the picture. We see it as a fresh wind with Kristoffer. They are both great singers, but different. Falconer thanks Mathias for the time in the band and wishes him the best of luck in the future with his career.
A new day has begun.............
