Faust (band)

Faust is a German band composed of Uwe Nettelbeck, Hans Joachim Irmler, Zappi Diermaier, Armulf Meifert, Jean Herve Peron, Gunther Wustoff and Rudolf Sosna. The group formed in Wumme in 1971 (see 1971 in music) and soon began recording their debut, Faust, which sold poorly but established a devoted fanbase. With a series of early 1970s releases, Faust beame one of the premier bands in the genre that would eventually be known as krautrock.

Faust broke up in 1975 (see 1975 in music) but reunited in the early 1990s and toured the United States for the first time. Their latest album is Ravvivando (1999, 1999 in music).
