Falconer The Legacy of MITHOTYN

I cannot believe it's been 5 years and I am still the only tshirtslayer member to upload anything by Mithotyn here. I hope that changes!

If you know and are a fan of this LEGENDARY band, shout out!

All three albums are original first press CDs on Sweden's Invasion Records-
In the Sign of the Ravens, 1997 (my highlight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnEgZ-LlYQQ&feature=related)
King of the Distant Forest, 1998 (my highlight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtOeX5tDlN0)
Gathered Around an Oaken Table, 1999 (my highlight http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=btmYb-LkQrQ)
Picture LP, In the Sign of the Ravens 1997

Rather than just upload Mithotyn items, I wanted to give a sense of continuity to their legacy, so I also included the two bands that grew out of Mithotyn's ashes after it disbanded - Falconer and King of Asgard. (I can't believe I'm also the first one to upload anything by Falconer here). Stephen Weinerhall, guitarist and founder of Mithotyn, established Falconer in its wake along with M's original drummer Karsten Larsson - now with clean vocals, it became a somber and at times introspective power metal band, still with incredible melodies.

King of Asgard is relatively "new", but it features Mithotyn's original vocalist Karl Beckmann and again the original drummer Kirsten Larssen.

Traces of Mithotyn may still be heard here and there in the new musical incarnations of these guys (especially King Of Asgard)... But Mithotyn alone sits on the throne of Swedish folk metal which they pioneered, and there will NEVER be another Mithotyn. Hail the Kings of the Distant Forest!
