Los Angeles, California, USA (1993 – present)
Faith and the Muse, formed in 1993, are vocalist and songwriter Monica Richards (formerly of Strange Boutique and the mid-80s Washington DC punk band Madhouse) and William Faith (formerly of Christian Death and Shadow Project). The duo draws from a wide array of styles: gothic rock, ethereal, Celtic, post-punk, and even jazz. Neo-pagan and Celtic mythology influences much of their lyrical content. While their sound varies greatly from song to song, their music is always highly emotional and spiritual, with a cathartic and epic character.
Their debut album “Elyria” was released in 1993 and was followed by “Annwyn, Beneath The Waves” in 1996, in part a concept album based around the four elements. 1999 saw the release of their third album, “Evidence of Heaven”. In 2001, “Vera Causa” a 2 CD set featuring a live permormance and various rarities was released. “The Burning Season” followed in 2004, and featured a more rock oriented formula. They continued to explore the boundaries of Gothic Rock with their 2009 album, :ankoku butoh: , an album which saw them delve into far-east Asian aesthetics.

'Elyria' to me is their only weak album, but from 'Annwyn, Beneath the Waves' 'till nowadays they're nothing short of splendid.

In my opinion, Annwyn or Evidence of Heaven is probably their best, followed by Elyria. The worst is easy "The Burning Season" (which is ok, just doesn't touch the others).
