Faust are now well into their second album, and can look back on the first objectively: "It's not a record you can listen to all day, but when you've been 1istening to other kinds of music it's really good to hear it.
Faust want to perform their music 'live' as soon as possible, and the second side of the LP was recorded under live conditions in the studio at Wümme.

Faust's third album compiles fragments of music that the German band had recorded between 1971 and 1973.
Faust are mysterious and hip enough on their own — add to that the quirky circumstances surrounding The Faust Tapes and the album's long absence from legitimate release until it was reissued for CD in the 1990s, and I think you have a recipe for some romanticizing on the part of over-eager music writers.

Faust is a death metal band from Italy that released their own EP titled "...and finally Faust" in 2001.

Faust is still an active outfit (at least as I write this in July 2004) and seem intent on forging their sound and style into the metal world.

Faust, of course, is a legendary Krautrock band with a string of great 1970s releases that revolutionized music, and at least one great “comeback” release (Ravvivando), which explores more industrial territory.
Faust were one of the most inventive bands of the 1970s; Dälek is one of the most inventive of the 2000s, and so a CD that sees them brought together is, at least on paper, a seeming gift from the heavens.

 Faust
Faust had the luck to become one of the first 'industrial' bands to walk this planet.
In this respect, Faust IV is a pretty solid offering, as it manages to evade most of the dissonance and "anti-musical" noise-making of their most radical output and 'tames' their reckless outbursts just a little bit without really sacrificing the experimental or industrial edge.
Faust IV sank like a stone on the charts; immediately afterwards, Virgin kicked Faust off the label; and the band was so desperate and depressed that they disbanded soon afterwards.

 Review & photos of Faust (band) Manchester Futuresonic 11 May 2007
Faust are one of the pioneers of avant-garde electronic rock music and are said to have been a key influence many bands on the late 70s and 80s.
Faust also have a smell: a timbre of oil and metal shavings coming from the stage area.
Then band got back into gear, the percussionist squatting on his stool beating a primeval rhythm on the tom toms with his outsize limbs, the stage lights blazing, the singer mouthing incomprehensible vocals in English, German and French.

As far as bands getting slighted, Shedim of Faust aren't exactly getting a disadvantage with his band attunement but their nature and goals are altered to match his: Learning instead of Corruption.
In fact, Faust would try to give any shedim on the Utopian side his band attunement, because one of his major policies is to lead the humans left on Earth away from their Fates, for both practical and personal reasons.
Faust has claimed and remodeled Beleth's Tower and Principality as his Domain after his forces and Ethereal allies defeated her, and the Marches are where all the humans who don't meet their Fate, or have met both Destiny and Fate, go.

 Faust Publication : Faust: Breaking all the Rules : Audion
Contrastingly however, when Faust was unleashed upon the British public, with its totally clear packaging (album, sleeve and insert) and eye-catching clenched fist design, amongst the wave of German weirdness, the likes of which were being imported by Virgin and Fox Records, it gained a lot of reaction.
Here, Faust's humour comes across most strongly, the lyrics to No Harm - 'Daddy take a banana, tomorrow is Sunday' - are sung repeatedly with such conviction, the listener is always left with the feeling 'do these lyrics really mean anything, or is it all a joke?'.
In 1979, due to the growing rarity value of Faust albums, the newly formed label Recommended Records reissued the first 2 albums with their original packaging, and later a repackaged version of The Faust Tapes.

Being a girl fronted rock band immediately means the music media and potential fans alike listen for similarities to Evanescence and No Doubt, and while occasional similarities do undoubtedly exist Mia Richards has invented an entirely new style of her own.
Bands can come up with some really strange self-descriptions sometimes, but this one is pretty much on-target, specially the "heavy-melodic" part.
It's rare to hear a band, and especially an American band, playing a heavy type of music that is so completely melodic and accessible and… to clumsily coin a word… sing-alongable.
