Artist Detailed Info: Faustian

Faustian is an Australian black metal band from Melbourne, Victoria. Often described as a “super group” of the Antipodean extreme metal scene, it was formed by core members of the death metal band Werewolves.

The trio channels classic Scandinavian black metal grandeur and atmosphere (drawing inspiration from albums like Emperor’s Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk) alongside modern intensity. Their sound blends aggressive, riff-driven black metal with dark, atmospheric, and emotionally heavy elements—featuring furious speed, storm-torn atmospheres, precise guitar work, haunting melodies, and a sense of fear, horror, and damnation. Lyrics explore blasphemous, gnostic, and profane themes. While the members are known for the violent intensity of Werewolves and other death metal projects, Faustian emphasizes a more layered, majestic, and unnerving black metal approach.
