They were a band out of time, seemingly - \"born too late,\" not fit for these increasingly modern times. Now, nearly a decade after FAUSTIAN PACT's last demo, this trio of sorcerors bring the past into the present with their LONG-awaited debut album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOutojen Tornien Varjoissa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, FAUSTIAN PACT's full-length debut is the grand culmination of all the gloriously bewitching work they brewed across that trio of demos. Exploding with an effervescence that's addicting and undeniable, their swords-aloft attack surges and swells, crests and cascades. At the forefront are stained-glass synths whisked from a time - and a fantastical landscape - far, FAR away, sumptuously underlining their heroic\/romantic style of black metal deeply steeped in a nostalgic past. Across the album's 41 minute (fantastical) landscape are spread lyrics of splendorous mythology, swords \u0026amp; sorcery, vast forgotten realms brought to life through wily, wanderlusting black metal betraying a noble melodicism. FAUSTIAN PACT are thus a unique balance of contrasts: orkish energy vs. mystical atmosphere, dungeon rawness vs. castle-top aristocracy, obsidian darkness vs. gleaming light. So, whether 25 years ago or 2500, removed by a reality or two, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOutojen Tornien Varjoissa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is timeless BLACK METAL MAGICK - dark medieval times have at last arrived!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Black City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42548655456492,"sku":"","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/5912\/5660\/products\/Faustian_Pact-Outojen_Tornien_Varjoissa.jpg?v=1647521194","url":"https:\/\/www.blackcityrecords.co.uk\/products\/faustian-pact-outojen-tornien-varjoissa-lp","provider":"Black City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
