Faun
The Pagan folk group FAUN was founded in 1999 in Gräfelfing near Munich. They offer an enchanting mixture of Old-High-German charms, courtly minstrel songs and romantic ballads. Besides, they use so unusual instruments like Nyckelharpa, Bendir, Seljefloit and Chalumeaux. In 2009, they present their programme "Faun - unplugged" for the first time. At these concerts, FAUN consists of Oliver Sa Tyr, Rüdiger Maul, Fiona Rüggeberg and Sandra Elflein.

Guitarist CLAUDIO ALCARA, best known for his work with Italian Black Metallers FROSTMOON ECLIPSE, has finished work on the next release for his solo acoustic project STROSZEK. The EP, titled “The Wild Hunt”, is the follow up to the 2007 full-length album “Songs of Remorse”, and will be released later this year on the God is Myth label.
Commenting on the inspiration for “The Wild Hunt”, ALCARA said, “STROSZEK has always been the means through which I can communicate my own view of life, which, like most people’s, is largely governed by my moods. The fours songs on the EP are very much influenced by the feelings of depression and introspection that I was going through at the time of writing, and also owe a great deal of their inspiration to H.P. Lovecraft’s story “The Hound”. I’ve always liked its overall “Don’t Break The Oath”-vibe. The theme of the wild hunt is also there, and Todd from the God Is Myth label has already chosen the perfect photograph for the cover”.
