Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commissioned specifically to serve as a modern soundtrack to F.W. Murnau's legendary 1926 silent horror film, Art Zoyd delivers an incredibly dense, terrifyingly complex score. 'Faust' heavily utilizes advanced digital samplers and brutal, highly dissonant avant-prog instrumentation to modernize the film's deeply occult, expressionist atmosphere. It stands as a monumental, highly challenging achievement within the dark, Rock in Opposition-affiliated subgenre.
