FAUN - Hex · BLACK 2LP

Digipak double CD with 24 pages booklet.

Background information über 'Hex'

Faun returns with "Hex", a spellbinding journey into the mystical realm of feminine magic and ancient folklore. This isn't just another medieval folk album - it's a profound exploration of healers, seers, and wise women who were once feared and persecuted throughout history. The German pagan folk masters weave together traditional sounds with modern musical elements, creating their signature captivating soundscape that bridges past and present with remarkable authenticity.

Under the creative direction of Oliver Satyr, who holds a Master's degree in medieval philology, the lyrics are meticulously researched to deliver both authenticity and depth. The album title itself references the old word for witch - "Hagazussa" - she who walks between worlds. Faun masterfully combines historical sources from Germanic, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon mythology while incorporating diverse cultural influences that extend far beyond European traditions. The musical execution features traditional instruments like hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, lute, key fiddle, harp, and flute seamlessly blended with synthesizers, electronic beats, and multi-layered vocals.

For fans of:
Wardruna, Heilung, Loreena McKennitt, and Dead Can Dance
