Awakening by Thirst of Faust

The band's newest single "Awakening" marks the end of, what the band calls "The Goethe Trilogy", with the tracks - "Mephisto" and "Aftermath" being released before. As the saga of Faustus comes to an end, "Awakening" draws a picture of the incidents that led to the communion between Faust and Mephistopheles. From a fast and technical standpoint, the song portrays the inner struggle of the protagonist's psyche, the constant insatiable hunger for eternal knowledge unbeknownst to the consequences that followed.

"....As his vision gets blurred, but the affinity to satiate the hunger grows forevermore"

The song talks about how one always resorts to the abandonment of one's morality when the want grows unbearable, surfing through means of acquiring that's best left untouched. "Awakening" draws a perfect connection to "Mephisto" through silhouettes of the prince of hell striding in to lend a seemingly welcoming hand to Faust's quest for knowledge.

Hailing from the City of Joy - Kolkata, the four piece Technical Death Metal outfit Thirst of Faust strives to keep storytelling their main focus in songwriting, accompanied by intricate guitar works and fleshed out drums that is both groovy and extreme.
