Faustus are a duo originally from Kyrgyzstan but now resides in Germany and plays a very raw form of black metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Lipsia" which was released by Careless Records.
A very dark sounding intro starts off the ep before going into a heavier musical direction while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling,. Most of the music is also heavily rooted in the 90's second wave era.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with one song also introducing spoken word parts into the music along as well as some synths also being utilized on a few tracks.
Faustus plays a style of black metal that is very raw and traditional sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in German and cover Johann Wolfgang Goethe's classic "Faust" novel.
In my opinion Faustus are a very great sounding raw black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Natur ist Sünde, Geist ist Teufel" "Der Drudenfuß auf eurer Schwelle". 8 out of 10.
