 band Falkenbach

Falkenbach

Falkenbach is a Viking metal group from Germany that is currently signed to Prophecy Productions. The name means "Falconbrook" in German. The one permanent member is Vratyas Vakyas.-History:...

. The phrase Vratyas Vakyas can be translated as "the searching wanderer". He started writing music around 1989 and between 1991 and 1993 he played guitar in a band called Crimson Gates which released two demos and did two live shows. The band was then put to rest since they had decided to stop the band as soon as one band member left. Vratyas Vakyas has since recorded several demos and five studio albums for Falkenbach.

Demos

• Havamal (1989)
• Demo 1 (1991–1993)* (as Crimson Gates?)
• Demo 2 (1991–1994)* (as Crimson Gates?)
• Laeknishendr (1995)
• Promo '95 (1995)
• ...Skinn Av Sverdhi Sol Valtiva... (1996)

There were a total of nine Falkenbach demos. There are two demos that little to nothing is known about, and the asterisked demos have an unknown track listing.
