In March 2018 music critic and singer André Savetier launched his YouTube show The Wave of Things. Intrigued by the programme, American music enthusiast Raymond Nelson contacted Savetier. It turned out that the two had a lot in common, subsequently an online friendship arose. When Nelson revealed to Savetier that he produces synthesizer-based music himself, they decided to join forces to form a musical union which only later would be known by the name of Deus Faust, an allusion to the connection of enlightenment and the supernatural, the basic concept of the band. It turned out that the duo could work very well together, each member benefiting from the experience of the other, while further sharpening their skills in the common process of music making. It was not long before the first Deus Faust songs took shape, the first two singles, the dark, yet catchy 'Fomalhaut' and the melancholic 'Distant Faces', were released on YouTube, accompanied by a minimalist video each. In September 2018 the Deus Faust debut album saw the light of day. What I Saw was critically acclaimed, emphasizing the uniqueness of the duo's style and their cryptic-poetic lyrics. Songs like 'Rosegarden' and 'Vampyres Like Us' quickly established themselves as underground hits, with which Deus Faust could build a small but strong fanbase. 'Vampyres Like Us' was released on Halloween 2018 and caught attention through its self- and scene-ironic setup, its tongue-in-cheek humour and the many hidden reference
