Description/Reviews
After the intro we get to dance with Walpurgisnacht ... The use of many vocal powers will always be the magical beauty of this band, just as those special instruments that give them an outstanding sound! It will be for sure another hit!
Buntes volk is a bit softer (the vocals are sure worth checking out), while we witness a very delicate side from them on Menuett.
Hekate is of course known as a goddess and in this version we hear a very soft sound, almost dreaming away. Be aware as this has nothing to do with Inkubus Sukkubus!
Blaue stunde is a beautiful track. Almost sacred sounds Cuncti Simus. Hörst du die trommeln is nicely lead by Oliver Sa Tyr, joined by other vocals. The flute is the second lead. I cherish the vocal harmony!

  1. Another incredible album from Germany's best kept secret--and modern prog folk's best act. Great diversity and the usual stellar vocal performances make this one of Faun's best.
