"Vratyas Vakyas" is the only full-time member of the folk/black/viking metal band Falkenbach. [ [http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=1071 Falkenbach @ Encyclopaedia Metallum] ] The phrase Vratyas Vakyas can be translated as "the searching wanderer". [ [http://heavymetal.about.com/od/interviews/a/falkenbach.htm Vratyas Vakyas interview @ heavymetal.about.com] ] He started writing music around 1989 and between 1991 and 1993 he played guitar in a band called Crimson Gates which released two demos and did two live shows. The band was then put to rest since they had decided to stop the band as soon as one band member left. [ [http://www.tartareandesire.com/bands/Falkenbach/642/ Falkenbach @ Tartarean Desire] ] Vratyas Vakyas has since recorded several demos and four studio albums for Falkenbach.
