Laeknishendr or Læknishendr is a 1995 demo by the German Viking metal band Falkenbach. It contains some rerecorded tracks from older Falkenbach demos.

The musical style is different from later Falkenbach albums. Vratyas Vakyas plays a more black/doom metal oriented sound, which is more harsh and aggressive than later works. Some of the tracks were rerecorded for later albums. Vratyas was using a Roland TR-909 drum machine. All lyrics are in Latin and Old Norse.

Laeknishendr was an important release for the development of the German Viking/pagan metal scene.[3]

Personnel

The bootlegged versions may have different track lengths, resulting in a different velocity.

gollark: It has gold ancestry, crazy inbreeding at some point, a few prizes, and who *knows* the ancestry beyond that?
gollark: I was just suggesting that I'd do that to make a really messy one.
gollark: I really like "messy" ones, like this >30G incredibly weird nonsensical Aeon.
gollark: This (https://dragcave.net/lineage/DLdkF) with a 2G xenowyrm, then?
gollark: You will have to wait until tomorrow (GMT), sorry.
