Faun
Faun formed in Germany in 1998 under founder Oliver s. Tyr and coined the term "pagan folk" to describe their synthesis of ancient Greek, Arab, and Scandinavian melodic traditions with the Swedish nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and Celtic harp. The band sings in a rotating array of languages including German, Latin, Old Norse, and Turkish, and their decade-spanning catalog has repeatedly charted in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with Midgard (2016) reaching number three in Germany. After five albums on Universal Music Germany, Faun established their own Pagan Folk Records label in 2021 and continued releasing material, including the witchcraft-themed Hex in 2025.
