FAITHFUL BREATH

Debut album from 1974 by the German FAITHFUL BREATH, a band that would later evolve into Hard Rock and Heavy Metal before eventually becoming the legendary RISK, one of the most notable German Thrash/Power Metal acts of the late 1980s. “Fading Beauty” is regarded as a true cult gem of 1970s European Progressive Rock and one of the most treasured releases among collectors of the genre.

Built around lengthy conceptual compositions, the album combines spacey atmospheres, psychedelic elements, symphonic passages and strong science-fiction and fantasy themes. Ambitious, imaginative and far ahead of its time, “Fading Beauty” reveals a completely different side of the musicians who would later form RISK, making it an essential release for fans of Krautrock and sophisticated Progressive Rock.

Recommended for fans of ELOY, NOVALIS, GROBSCHNITT and GENESIS.
