From the beginning, the band planned not to perform often live (their final tour date was at ProgPower USA in Atlanta, GA in 2015). After retiring from the stage five years ago, the band took some time off before writing a new album. Stefan decided not to rush the writing process, just to make sure the written material would be of the utmost quality. Some of the earlier material was scrapped and re-written halfway into the process; additionally, Stefan re-wrote one song with his old Mithotyn bandmate, Karl Beckmann (guitars/keyboards). The echoes from Mithotyn are surely noticeable on the track "Rapture".
Mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque, From A Dying Ember was also recorded at LaRocque's Sonic Train Studio. Stefan concludes: "To sum the album up, we can say that 'From A Dying Ember' has some things that really stand out from a usual Falconer album. A lot of things happening and more elements to the music than ever before!"
