a funny thing to note is that if you translate svarta ankan with a regular A instead of Ä, it would mean the black duck instead of black widow xS Great song btw (y)
normally i only listen to extreme metal genres like death, thrash and core, i heard this on the facebook page of metal blade and dude! it's so awesome...metal rules
As I read that Falconer would record a whole CD in swedish, I thought that this would be no good idea. But after listening to this song, I changed my mind. Listen to the solo, it reminds me of Queen, the rest of the song is typical Falconer. Now I hope that only the language changed this time, not the music and direction of the band. In a few weeks we´ll know it.
Something that would be freaking awesome would be if Falconer would make music for the GOTY Skyrim with their own compositions with themes of the game! That would just be awesome!!!
@slim0221 Their first album has it's own perfection, of course. It has been 10 years, and I think the band improve their sound with each new album. As for English, there are 4 bonus tracks in Armod, each being English versions of 4 of the songs in Armod.
Svarta means black (in its definite and plural forms), and änkan means "the widow" (so it means The Black Widow). Don't confuse änkan with ankan; ankan means "the duck." Mörk is the word for dark. Native Swedish speakers, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes, but I think everything I said was right.
@slim0221 in english its like "ok, I know what you're talking about" in swedish it's like "OMG I have no idea what you're talking about but it must be fucking AWESOME!"
Someone better translate every song the day it's released. Seriously, don't mind it being in Swedish, sounds awesome so far, but DAMN IT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SINGING ABOUT.
@Zyco178 Well, Swedish is my native tongue and even I have a hard time understanding it all from time to time. They use some rather old words and uncommon words at places. But if you wanna learn Swedish, best of luck! I hear it's rather hard to learn.
@tarikay93 well not shitty, but simply not quite as good as their first album thats all. They also seemed to change their style up a lot and they sounded way better in english
I can't decide whether I like the music or not. I think I'll get used to the Swedish and everything will fall in line behind that. I guess it probably took me a while to get used to listening to Spanish music too, but at least I'm almost fluent in Spanish... its different when you don't understand any of it
This band makes me wanna learn Swedish just so I can understand what the hell they are singing about. However, whether they sing in English or Swedish Falconer is still epic.
In the night north wind a steel one printer, one töckens calm spreading far around. Aaah aaah aaah Moss heavy and red, a reflection in dolkens edge deep in life's cooling embers. Aaah aaah aaah Border in the dark until, retaliation by gloomy footsteps. Vengeance virgin queen in port of injustice she does not forgive.
If you really want the lyrics don't listen to pumpkinpoem, he just used google translate... No, go listen to the english version named the black widow.
@1397051993 hahahahaaha here in Greece have a new station (106,5 FM 1055 rock extreme version), blasts pretty good songs from ac/dc up to nile and cannibal corpse!!
@jmsbk12345 lol i like this as mach as i like amon amarth for example! they are both really good in their own way, don't forget its a different metal genre! cheers bro :)
Through the pouring rain entourage walk quietly up the sorrow groaning captivity. Aaah aaah aaah On a cold black earth lowered the casket reverently down the hymn last words. Aaah aaah aaaah Memories fade not, like a scar they persist. To alleviate sadness I can not persuade me. Heaven comforts not that disheartened soul. My deep anguish when my own farewell. Darkness demons mocking cold, a breeze of relief at night stripe. Driven to the brink and plågornas all with cold steel UTI my hand.
+deathlist I'll give it a try.. In the night's northern wind a steel, a cry, the haze's calm is now spreading all afar red and heavy moss a reflection in the blade's edge deep in the life's fading glow pacing in the darkness forth reprisal/retaliative with dysmal steps The queen of vengeance in maiden's port of injury she did not forgive like her tears, the leaves of autumn fall softly in the forest's stillness. the moon is the only witness to the black widow's deed The wedding dress now torn and gray by sands of time to a self's ruin The heart's slayer is the victim to the black widow's deed through the pouring rain the crowd is lowly walking forth against the sorrow's heavy veil into a cold black ground the coffin is carefully lowered down under the last words of the psalm The memories do not fade, like a scar they remain to relieve sadness, i cannot afford Heaven does not console this crestfallen soul.

Song is good, but they are playing the guitar to high compared to the vocals. I do love Falconer, and im a huge fan, but perhaps this is why its not rated higher. They do have "one" of the best vocalist in their group so it should actually be possible.
Being Swedish, well, half Finnish as well. I'm extremely proud of all the great metal-bands up here
Canada?
the solo is so good
Without a doubt, this is their most impressive album. Love this band, love this sound, \m/
a funny thing to note is that if you translate svarta ankan with a regular A instead of Ä, it would mean the black duck instead of black widow xS
Great song btw (y)
The Topic channel video of this song had it spelled Svarta Ankan. Unfortunately it just got taken down, hence the reason I'm here.
Thanks for that. Now I'll forever think of this song as "Black Quack".
Ferocious intro there.
Så jävla bra låt
magical rhythms and melodies that delight
Great album so many good songs
It's the power of music! no human will ever understand its power.
Great Song! one of falconer's best !
This song possibly is the greatest metal song of all time, seriously. Such energy!

The Album should be coming tomorrow, looking forward to it.
@blackmajic13 i dont really know, i think it was on their forum or it was written on their disc...
Excellent. Just excellent!
As I read that Falconer would record a whole CD in swedish, I thought that this would be no good idea. But after listening to this song, I changed my mind. Listen to the solo, it reminds me of Queen, the rest of the song is typical Falconer. Now I hope that only the language changed this time, not the music and direction of the band. In a few weeks we´ll know it.
I do not care if I can understand this or not. This is an amazing band and an amazing song.
@blackmajic13 just for point out, this song will also come in english in a bonus disc

@blackmajic13 And that's when it shines through why Scandinavians are supremely awesome.
Something that would be freaking awesome would be if Falconer would make music for the GOTY Skyrim with their own compositions with themes of the game! That would just be awesome!!!
Awesome!
We-want-more! Fal-co-nor!
sO good, FALCONER RULES!
@slim0221 Their first album has it's own perfection, of course. It has been 10 years, and I think the band improve their sound with each new album. As for English, there are 4 bonus tracks in Armod, each being English versions of 4 of the songs in Armod.
Awesome song! :) Love it!
This song restores my faith in Swedish as an awesome music language. Bra gjort grabbar!
freaking long for 7 june, have ordered their album :D
God. This song kicks so much ass I've had to wear a pillow on my ass for the past four weeks.
Tomorrow, the dreams come true!
Come one !!! only 2 weeks!
fuck yeah!
älskar hur de har lyckats så bra med hög background music men man kan ändå höra lyricsen :D
the guitar solo at 3:15 is just...EPIC
what does svarta ankan mean? does svarta mean dark?
Svarta means black (in its definite and plural forms), and änkan means "the widow" (so it means The Black Widow). Don't confuse änkan with ankan; ankan means "the duck."
Mörk is the word for dark.
Native Swedish speakers, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes, but I think everything I said was right.
For a minute I thought it was a MIthotyn song hahaha. This is album is going to be fucking fantastic.
arghs, almost forgot to preorder it, thank god the limited edition isn't sold out yet d=)
@andrewichigo Their first album was pretty heavy
im usually into growls but this works like a charm
@slim0221 in english its like "ok, I know what you're talking about"
in swedish it's like "OMG I have no idea what you're talking about but it must be fucking AWESOME!"
@666LittleNicky hey me too man thats where i first heard them
does anyone have lyrics for this?
Tesó, végre egy másik magyar rajongó! :D Fasza anyag lesz ez!
yes!!!!!!!
Someone better translate every song the day it's released. Seriously, don't mind it being in Swedish, sounds awesome so far, but DAMN IT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SINGING ABOUT.
LOVE IT ;D
@BLACKHAWKDRAGOON you're so right!
@Zyco178 Well, Swedish is my native tongue and even I have a hard time understanding it all from time to time. They use some rather old words and uncommon words at places. But if you wanna learn Swedish, best of luck! I hear it's rather hard to learn.
@tarikay93 well not shitty, but simply not quite as good as their first album thats all. They also seemed to change their style up a lot and they sounded way better in english
WoW Balck Widow underbar
Gaaah love it !!!
@slim0221 Shitty? This is by far their most professional and impressive album. And yeah, I have listened to them all.
I can't decide whether I like the music or not. I think I'll get used to the Swedish and everything will fall in line behind that. I guess it probably took me a while to get used to listening to Spanish music too, but at least I'm almost fluent in Spanish... its different when you don't understand any of it
cooooooooooool
i need this guitar tab..........
Long live the epic clean voice. Let's stop this dreadful screaming and growling. This really is an amazing band along with TYR and KING of ASGARD.
This band makes me wanna learn Swedish just so I can understand what the hell they are singing about. However, whether they sing in English or Swedish Falconer is still epic.
dont understand a word but its fuking awsome
good thing for you they also recordet in with english lyrics "black widow"
Learn Swedish anyway
it's an amazing language
så länge jag väntat på nytt från dem...och de kan inte bli mer awesome än såhär :D
2:48 - 4:00 just epic!!
jag väntar med hetta på att det ska bli 2011-06-08 så man har denna platta i näven
In the night north wind
a steel one printer, one töckens calm
spreading far around.
Aaah aaah aaah
Moss heavy and red,
a reflection in dolkens edge
deep in life's cooling embers.
Aaah aaah aaah
Border in the dark until,
retaliation by gloomy footsteps.
Vengeance virgin queen in port
of injustice she does not forgive.
If you really want the lyrics don't listen to pumpkinpoem, he just used google translate...
No, go listen to the english version named the black widow.
Fun! I was the first to watch this.
You know it's available in english? Falconer - Black Widow
well i realy wish it was being done in english, but hey atleast i get some more falconer
You didn't even bother checking the english version of this song, did you?
No, let's just jump straight at the google translate.
@deadpool1377 AGREED
metal is the same in any language
@doobos Itt egy harmadik magyar. :D Hatalmas szám! :O
Way heavier riffs than their usual....interesting indeed ^^
I have to second Mr.Horus Nikopol!
FALCONITES! ASSEMBLE! \m/
Greetz
Prab
I take private lessons from the lead guitarist at his home ;)
@1397051993 hahahahaaha here in Greece have a new station (106,5 FM 1055 rock extreme version), blasts pretty good songs from ac/dc up to nile and cannibal corpse!!
@jmsbk12345 lol i like this as mach as i like amon amarth for example! they are both really good in their own way, don't forget its a different metal genre! cheers bro :)
Through the pouring rain
entourage walk quietly up
the sorrow groaning captivity.
Aaah aaah aaah
On a cold black earth
lowered the casket reverently down
the hymn last words.
Aaah aaah aaaah
Memories fade not, like a scar they persist.
To alleviate sadness I can not persuade me.
Heaven comforts not that disheartened soul.
My deep anguish when my own farewell.
Darkness demons mocking cold,
a breeze of relief at night stripe.
Driven to the brink and plågornas all
with cold steel UTI my hand.
@jmsbk12345 hey now both can be liked no need to get rid of one or the other
blackmajic13 i can try to translate the song for ya
If someone could translate this to english for me that would be fucking badass
+deathlist
I'll give it a try..
In the night's northern wind
a steel, a cry, the haze's calm
is now spreading all afar
red and heavy moss
a reflection in the blade's edge
deep in the life's fading glow
pacing in the darkness forth
reprisal/retaliative with dysmal steps
The queen of vengeance in maiden's port
of injury she did not forgive
like her tears, the leaves of autumn
fall softly in the forest's stillness.
the moon is the only witness
to the black widow's deed
The wedding dress now torn and gray
by sands of time to a self's ruin
The heart's slayer is the victim
to the black widow's deed
through the pouring rain
the crowd is lowly walking forth
against the sorrow's heavy veil
into a cold black ground
the coffin is carefully lowered down
under the last words of the psalm
The memories do not fade, like a scar they remain
to relieve sadness, i cannot afford
Heaven does not console this crestfallen soul.
My heavy anguish becomes my own farewell.
Darkness' demon's elusive call
a breeze of relief on the edge of night.
Driven to the verge and the torment's all
with the cold steel out in my hand
ruclips.net/video/Y6v4n8rpwuI/видео.html
Ofc swedish kick ass
it's curious how the intro of war eternal song from Arch Enemy sounds exactly like this intro...
+Marius Ionita ya similar
Song is good, but they are playing the guitar to high compared to the vocals. I do love Falconer, and im a huge fan, but perhaps this is why its not rated higher. They do have "one" of the best vocalist in their group so it should actually be possible.
Haha fin svenska ! :D
