Details: Falkenbach were originally conceived as a solo-project by Vratyas Vakyas and officially came into being with the "Laeknishendr" demo in 1995. When Falkenbach's second album "... Magni blandinn ok megintiri... " appeared in 1998 it offered a refined, matured and more melodic continuation of the blackened pagan metal style that took influences from both Bathory and the second wave of Nordic black metal, which the German multi-instrumentalist had established two years earlier on the debut full-length " en their medh riki fara" (1996). "... Magni blandinn ok megintiri... " is widely considered to be an important milestone of it's genre.
