FAUN RELEASE NEW DARK SINGLE ‘LAMENT’


Pagan folk band FAUN are here with a new single ‘Lament’, a track that creates a sense of a darker undertone. With ‘Lament’ FAUN taps into the mournful power of myth, ritual, and grief, an old pre-Christian mourning song from the north of England.

The band have extended this song by a few verses and turned it into an epic and emotional dirge with choirs, drums and old instruments. 

FAUN comments: “With a choir of four singers from FAUN, with hurdy-gurdy, flute, key fiddle and lure (Celtic long trumpet), we dedicated this song to their friend and sound engineer, Jürgen Schneider, who tragically passed away in 2023, after more than ten years of travelling and concerts together.”

Pirate Metal Party Crashers ALESTORM Strike With New Single “Killed to Death by Piracy” + Official Video


Explosions, entrails, and glorious seafaring chaos — ALESTORM are back with their latest anthem of absurdity, “Killed to Death by Piracy”! Taken from their upcoming album, The Thunderfist Chronicles, out June 20, 2025 via Napalm Records, the track hits hard with razor-sharp riffs, rowdy gang vocals, and lyrics packed with death, doom, and pirate lunacy. From undead hordes to rusty spoons, nothing is safe — least of all your eardrums. It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s ridiculous – and it comes with a brand-new music video that’s as over-the-top as the song itself. Raise your sails and prepare to die… the pirate’s way!
