This is so dope. I don't even know that Genre. It is so insane to Explore and see how much styles of music there is

That picture is from the movie DRAGONSLAYER. It was a favourite of mine as a kid in the 80s.

[@solar.566]

Landon Warsmith- Based on your mention, I downloaded and watched the aforementioned "Dragonslayer" for the first time just the other day. Not necessarily "brilliant" (in terms of film masterpiece material) but nonetheless classic stuff and a great fantasy-adventure film! Thanks for the indirect recommendation! I thoroughly enjoyed the story. (And yes, indeed the imagery on this album cover seems to be based upon that film!)

[@ravinnox2640]

that and the Beastmaster were to of my favorites growing up as well. not to mention the Sword and the Sorcery

[@etheridescence]

I'll look these up guys thanks for the recs!

[@shadetreader]

@Lord Belial Krull had a good score and ensemble cast

[@summerlaverdure]

Absolutely some of the best dungeon synth ever made, proving it can definitely be something more of a compositional masterpiece than just an ambient soundscape that's Lo-Fi

[@jetblackriver]

The Basilisk's Eye's composition got me like :OOOOO

Good old Casket of Dreams... How I miss those Times...

[@paulbarton4395]

The atmosphere of these old dungeons, however, is impossible to imitate...

This album is such an adventure. Every song a different painting and tons of fun synth passages throughout. 🔥

Amazing, from music to cover art 10/10

I wonder if it's just coincidence this has the same name as the Dragonlance book? :) Great stuff!!! Music for D&D, love it.

Coming back to this yet again as today I sewed on my patch of this album onto my jacket. I have a little corner for dungeon synth away from all of the metal.

Very spacey but simultaneously grounded in terrestrial fantasy.

You helped me put a finger on what this album sounds like! It’s dragons, but if said dragons lived on some alien planet.

[@MythshiftrDungeonSynthPostRock]

love the Casio on this one. Might be the same one I got as a kid in 1998. Casio CTK-611. It later broke but then I got a similar Casio WK-1630 ten years later. Also got a Yamaha So3 but now are mostly use them as Midi with Reason software. However, last couple years been mixing them in with the professional sounding Reason stuff to add some extra depth. This also has a mixed sound. The other synths sound some of the more mid to high grade 90s professional synths, like a Roland or something. Anyway I dig it.

[@kavatava8576]

I am sure I've heard 06. Stain of the Soil before, that's weird! It sounds like Depressive silence, Solanum, maybe Gothmog...

[@Bspider0824]

some of the synth reminds me of old doom game

[@RoddyTullenz]

It's the same song...broken into many songs.

[@williamsav7630]

Vinyl coming THIS FRIDAY 8/23 via Ancient Meadow Records and Cassette via Dungeons Deep Records. Check them out on Facebook. Both are limited so hopefully you can catch one.

[@Mithreniel]

Tapes are sold out on Bandcamp. Will there be a rerelease on either tape, vinyl, or CD with the button?

[@SmileyTrilobite]

Does “Eye of Evil” 24:44 - 25:13 reference the final dungeon music from The Legend of Zelda: The Adventure of Link? :)

[@mikeonis]

You have a good ear!

[@delson84]

Haha I came to comments to ask the same thing. This is great!

[@KnjazNazrath]

Save yourself from playing a bad system and learn the 2nd Edition rules instead.

[@Wedontbase]

1998, wow! How long has this genre dungeon synth been around?

[@Mithreniel]

Since the Ainulindalë, when the void became unvoid by the voices of the Ainur.

[@sirmount2636]

I would imagine since the 1980’s? But it truly came into its own in the 1990’s although I think it wasn’t called “dungeon synth” until the mid-2010’s.

[@screwtapee]

I’m 3 years late, but it started out in the 90’s with some artists making albums that sounded quite similar, but there wasn’t an official term for it. After that the genre was dormant until the early 2010’s when the Dungeon Synth blog (which also created the name dungeon synth) compiled a canon of some of these 90’s releases which led new artists to create music in the same vein as the old 90’s albums. I guess that could be considered the true start of dungeon synth as a movement and a codified genre!

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

24:44 Sounds like Zelda II.

[@mothmanmusicreviews8371]

I definitely recognize some old school Casio sounds on Track 07 as I used to have one. I am not sure about the rest, butt I'm sure this is mostly composed from cheap cheesy synths as much of OSDS was. They don't make em like this anymore.
