Pagan

Description

FAUN's new album "PAGAN" will be released in April 2022 on their own label "Pagan Folk Records". After FAUN's last five albums won gold and platinum awards as well as placings in the Top 5 of the German album charts, with "PAGAN", the exceptional formation returns to its musical roots. With mystical and archaic songs, pagan myths are brought back to live. With archaic rhythms, ancient instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, moraharpa, bagpipes and harp and multi-layered vocals, the musical journeytakes us to the far north, to the Celts, to ancient Finland and to the origins of our own culture. Together with great musical guests such as Lindy-Fay Hella from "WARDRUNA" and the folk metal band "ELUVEITIE", Faun plays itself into a musical ecstasy and playfully masters the balancing act between danceable pagan folk and enchanted ballads. The album is released in a noble digipack, in a limited vinyl edition and in a four-colour hardcover book of more than 100 pages. This german & english book contains numerous photos, illustrations by renowned artists like Brian Frud and Stefanie Lostimolo and texts by well-known authors such as Wolf-Dieter Storl and Vivianne Crowley, to allow the listener to delve even deeper into the pagan backgrounds and myths behind the songs. In a strictly limited edition, the hardcover book will be available including a DVD, which contains, among other things, the band's elaborately staged and 16-song-long online concert from March 2021.
