See the Falcon interview of Metal Coven Records:
Metal Coven Records: “Metal Coven Records is a small underground label hailing from the forgotten north of Germany. We’re up to our tricks since early 2003 and ever since then we’ve tried our best to support some of the coolest oldschool Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands around.”
MCR-004: Minotauri/Reverend Bizarre Split 7″ Single (2004): “Metal Coven Rec’s Hails + Thanks: … Perry & FALCON, …”
Fun Fact: The label Metal Coven Records took its name from the song ‘Metal Coven’ by the Brazilian band WytchKraft. Interestingly, the song’s lyrics were dedicated to the label crew: ‘Metal Coven lyric is dedicated to the Metal Coven Records crew. Hail Tobi, Dini and Tobi’. Although a live version was released on 23 Aug 2003, the studio version was recorded in Mar 2004 and reissued by the label as part of the MCR-006: Gorgon/Wytchkraft Split 7″ Single in 2005. The 2005 7″ release “Bad Girl / Metal Coven” by Wytchkraft includes thanks to “All Perry & FALCON,” referring to Perry Grayson and his band Falcon.

“What was a frozen plan that lasted at least two years, comes out now finally! Aborted by many reasons and put to rest through a long hiatus, itโs now time to present the much deserved Buffalo tribute with 12 great international Heavy Rock/Doom acts from the U.S. to Portugal and Spain, with Germany, UK and Italy in between. These are mostly unreleased songs presented on CD, to celebrate the greatness (and heaviness) of Australiaโs premier Doom Rock & Rollers! Approved by Mr. Dave Tice himself (who left some nice comments in a few versions heโd heard), with 16 page booklet and sleeve art done by Rod Wolf from Midnight Priest, this is a release not to be missed for all who give a damn to 70โs Heavy Rock! Clearly Blood & Iron is doing it. Many didnโt believed and some also forgot, but good news on the horizon: The job is done!”
This record has been delayed forย several years.ย It was recently scheduled for Apr 2010 and 01 Jun 2011, but upon contacting the label (from 2010 to 2011), I was told it will be not be out before 25 Jul 2011. In 2013 it was finally cancelled.
