Exalted Singer-songwriter Fawn Unleashes the Beast For Halloween with 'Beware The Wendigo' Featuring The Shadow Drummers

Fawn's rendition of the Wendigo ancestral tale honors the sacred, spiritual beliefs held by Algonquin-speaking nations such as the Algonquin, Cree, and Ojibwe.

HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stonedef Records unleashes the monsters this Halloween season with the debut release of “Beware The Wendigo,” a new original Halloween song from Billboard-charting artist Fawn—an internationally known singer-songwriter, composer, musician, recording artist, published author and voice-over artist. This savage new track lunges from the darkness September 19, 2025, with pre-orders howling now.

Written, performed and recorded by Fawn, “Beware The Wendigo” came into fruition in the creative depths of her Hollywood Hills music chamber, Terrace Studios. Produced by Cameron Lasswell, the tune invokes the whimsy of a Disney Halloween work of art. "Beware The Wendigo" is part of Fawn's Fiendishly Fun Fall series—“Haunted Halloween Jams"—featuring a sinister blend of original horrors, unreleased spectral tunes, ghastly remixes, and resurrected vintage chills from the shadows of her macabre chamber.

Fawn shared, “When I set out to write more Halloween songs, I drew inspiration from different spooky legends and folklore, focusing on the ones that truly unnerved me. Naturally, the haunting stories of the Wendigo came to mind.” She continued, “During the height of COVID, I discovered there was only one song that referenced the Wendigo—a powerful, emotional piece by The Shadow Drummers and Elisa Charleen Guilbeault. It had this raw, tribal, chanting soundscape that struck me deeply. In that moment, I knew I wanted to weave it into the Wendigo song I had just finished writing.”
Fawn concluded, “With only a few days of research, I was able to find Elisa, connect with her, and learn more about the profound richness of the legend. I was deeply grateful when she graciously allowed me to incorporate their recording into my song. To me, it honors the history and culture of the Algonquin people, and I feel privileged to help bring a glimpse of that authentic heritage to a wider audience.”

Elisa Charleen Guilbeault said, "We are called 'The Shadow Drummers,' for everyone is equal in the shadows; it matters not your skin colour, beliefs, gender, or appearance. This is the time for women to heal each other, take back the drum, and in turn heal their families and communities if Mother Earth has any chance of survival. Our drum songs deal with healing, passion, honor and respect. We seek to serve our indigenous community and beyond with the sharing of ceremony through the medicine of the drum, for all living things, through the media of music."

Elisa continued, "Fawn did WONDERFUL work with "Beware The Wendigo." The Shadow Drummers were very impressed and grateful that she captured the essence of the legend." Elisa continued, "We say 'CHI-miigwetch' (thank you very much) to Fawn for sharing her incredible artistic talents with us and for making us a part of her project!"

Producer Cameron Lasswell said, "The Algonquin tribe has a long history rooted in the forests and rivers of Canada, and their Wendigo legend is one of the most chilling in North American folklore—blending survival fears with moral warnings about greed, hunger, and losing one’s humanity. My goal in producing the track was to capture the eerie and haunting vibe of the Wendigo, while at the same time paying tribute to the folklore of the Algonquin tribe."

Fawn will be releasing a new Halloween song every Friday through All Hallow's Eve. Conjuring the cannibal spirit, “Beware The Wendigo” will start it's feast beginning September 19, 2025 and be available on all major platforms.
