Tolkki kertoo ”Faust”-kappaleesta seuraavaa:
”Musically, I tried to create something a bit more modern, with a lot of detail in the track, especially when listened to with headphonesI think it features some of the best guitar work I’ve been able to record in years. I felt deeply inspired while composing and recording ’Classical Variations And Themes 2: Ultima Thule’. Nearly the entire album was composed in a place 40 kilometers outside Helsinki, Finland’s capital, where I spent about a month and a half in a cabin in the middle of a beautiful nature.”

The video is inspired by the famous story of Faust, where the protagonist, dissatisfied with his life as a scholar, makes a pact with Mephistopheles. During the bargain, Faust succumbs to magic and worldly pleasures, which ultimately lead to tragedy. However, in Goethe’s version, Faust finds redemption through divine intervention and the pure soul of Gretchen, a young woman he seduces.
”This project was particularly special for me because I wanted to capture the essence of Faust’s inner conflict, as he struggles between the pursuit of knowledge and the ultimate price that comes with it.”
