Now a global benchmark for blending medieval sounds with contemporary music, Faun began in 1999 in Gräfelfing, in the western suburbs of Munich. The Bavarian band has always remained faithful to its “pagan folk” roots and even attempted to qualify for Eurovision in 2015! Their twelfth studio album, entitled “Hex,” is scheduled for release in September. A great way to get us in the mood.

When dark pop meets bombastic metal: the Hamburg-based band, led by frontman Chris Harms, have cast off all constraints to shatter the boundaries between genres. In their music, old-school productions played with raw emotion sit alongside a fragile melancholy. As if it were nothing, Lord Of The Lost strike that subtle balance between vocals of rare harshness, raw industrial guitars and sombre beauty.
