Comments the band on the new music piece: "Lament" has its origins in an old pre-Christian mourning song from the north of England. We have extended this song by a few verses and turned it into an emotional dirge with choirs, drums and old instruments.
"In the Celtic pagan religion, there is no threatening division into heaven and hell like in Christianity. The border to “Annwn”, the celtic otherworld, is also less definitive. Some people manage to travel back and forth between the worlds and at Halloween (Samhain), for example, this border is thiner. Sometimes “Annwn” is described as an island in a sea full of fog, an idea that FAUN have taken up in their lyrics.
"We decided to dedicate this song to our dear friend and sound engineer, Jürgen Schneider, who tragically passed away in 2023, after more than 10 years of traveling and concerts together - thank you for everything, dear friend."
