Falkenbach is a German musical project that melds black metal with Viking metal and atmospheric folk elements, founded by the sole member Vratyas Vakyas. Emerging in the early 1990s, Falkenbach is among the progenitors of the Viking metal genre, recognized for their incorporation of mythological themes and epic melodies. Their musical journey is a fusion of powerful metal riffs with folk and classical instruments, creating a soundscape that transports listeners to the bygone era of Viking lore and Northern European tales.

Falkenbach first made a mark on the metal scene with their debut album "...en their medh riki fara..." released in 1996. This established the project's distinctive symphonic sound, blending aggressive metal with melodic folk elements. Over the years, Falkenbach continued to release a succession of full-length albums, each solidifying their reputation within the metal community. "Asa," their sixth studio album released in 2013, stays true to Falkenbach's pioneering style, combining heroic storytelling with an immersive atmosphere. With tracks such as "Eweroun" from the same album, the project continues to demonstrate an unyielding capacity to evoke the ancient world through music, a hallmark that has garnered them a dedicated following within the niche genre of folk and Viking metal.
