Faer is a Conan-esque character specifically invented for HDK by the English writer John Reppion (co-author with his wife Leah Moore of masterpiece comics such as Albion and Wild Girl, fresh from collaboration with... Iron Maiden!): Faer the Wanderer is a tribute to the glorious heroic-fantasy paperbacks of the 70s, but with typical vibes of the "dark-age" of American comics of the early 90s.
HDK commissioned the London artist Samuel Allan (already our collaborator for the cover of Cro-man 2: the Curse of the Wizard), to take care of the character design and to create shocking action artwork inspired by John's subjects; GNOLL finally sprung into action and brought Faer's adventures to life through music, as usual weaving together brooding synths, dark orchestrations, and tons of sense of wonder.
The result is this almost hour-long tape wrapped in Samuel Allan's vigorous illustrations, soundtrack of a 32-page booklet containing three Faer the Wanderer stories from the fairy pen (or keyboard?) of John Reppion.
Can we perhaps talk about the first "Dungeon-synth Kolossal" ever made?
