STRANGER VISION Unveils First Single Strive from Upcoming Album

06.09.2024

FAUST Act I: Prelude To Darkness 

 

STRANGER VISION, the Italian prog power metal band, is thrilled to announce the release of Strive, the first single from their highly anticipated new album FAUST Act I: Prelude To Darkness, set to drop on November 8th, 2024. Inspired by the timeless story of Faust, the album delves into the profound themes of human ambition, the pursuit of knowledge, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Strive is a powerful opening to this conceptual journey, capturing the intense dialogue between God and Mephistopheles about the human condition and the relentless quest for understanding that defines Faust's character. With its intricate melodies and evocative lyrics, Strive sets the tone for an album that promises to explore the depths of human emotion and existential conflict.
The band shares: "Faust has always fascinated us as a work of literature. It’s a profound reflection on the duality of human nature, and with this album, we wanted to bring that story to life through our music. Strive is a key moment in the album, where the battle for Faust's soul begins, and it reflects the struggle that is central to his journey. This song is particularly special because it encapsulates the essence of what we want to convey with Faust. The push and pull between light and darkness, the choices we make, and the consequences they bring — these are themes that resonate deeply with us, and we believe our listeners will feel that as well."
