Heralding – The Fireblade

Heralding – The Fireblade is the fourth studio album by the German Viking metal band Falkenbach. This record is made up of songs originally intended to be the band's first album, Fireblade, which was shelved in 1995. For the 15-year anniversary of the band, the tracks were finally re-recorded (using the same session musicians as on Ok nefna tysvar Ty) and released. The LP version, limited to 1,000 copies, was released in 2006 by No Colours Records with the first 300 in transparent clear vinyl.
