After two years in preparation, Faun is back with another beautiful collection of tunes in the shape of Pagan, the first album released via the band’s own label Pagan Folk Records.
The album was accompanied by the release of several music videos of songs taken from it. In some of them you can actually see the featured guest musicians in action, such as Wardruna‘s singer Lindy-Fay Hella (Galdra) and the folk metal band Eluveitie (Gwydion), as well as a living influence for the band, the anthropologist and ethnobotanist Wolf-Dieter Storl, who also appears in the Gwydion video.

- Digipack-CD;
