Musically experimental, Indian death metal band Thirst of Faust strives to bring together emotional, yet brutal music and folklore appealing to both metal enthusiasts and as well as those who appreciate the lore of music. “Aftermath”, which follows the sophomore track “Mephisto” presents brutal dark torment, heard through the music of the band itself. Aiming to take the listeners on a sonic adventure through literature and periods, the band released “Mephisto” which marked the beginning of an epic interpretation of the ever famous tale of Faustus by Goethe. “Aftermath” dots the conclusion of the epiphany faced by Faustus from the perspective of the band, delving deep into a mind riddled with schizophrenia. “Aftermath” recreates the troubled mind through uncanny guitars and erratic vocals from the entire band.
Through their music, Thirst of Faust batters the listener both musically and lyrically, blast beats set the pace for epic lyrics presented in both guttural and clean fashion that focus on relatable situations. The band shares their process:
“After developing the frightening tale of the rise to power of Faust in ‘Mephisto’, ‘Aftermath’ depicts the downfall of our protagonist in physical, emotional, and mental aspects. Each song acts as a chapter in our musical story. The lyrics represent personal events and emotions and then we wrap these experiences through our eerie music”. – Thirst of Faust
“It’s a much-awaited conclusion to an epic tale!” – Robby Dutta (Vocalist)
Atmospheric and driving, the medley of blast beats, chugging bass, and heavily distorted solos will be both intense and immersive. Thirst of Faust is recommended for fans of Alkaloid, Alluvial, Death, and Cynic (Progressive/Technical Death Metal in general).
