[Occam's Razor]

Maybe the "irony-free zone" is something German. It is just the total opposite of the retro, hipster or whatever you may call it trend which trivialises what others used to take seriously. A band that is similar in its principles to Falcon, though not in sound, is Sacred Steel. It is all out metal and totally dedicated to the cause. Dead serious, no irony and laughing when nobody watches them. Maybe this (still) goes for Manowar too, but I feel there is too much comedy out there. It should be serious, at least in terms of music and what it stands for, even though you may laugh about yourself from time to time, it helps.

Thank you for actually reading the review, there seem to be few who actually do this attentively.
