Struck gold with this one. Solid album all the way. Makes great background music.

This is one of the best channels on youtube

[@Nattraks]

That ending quote from Gandalf gave me chills. Well done, this album was a treat

[@vannthybun2546]

This is some incredible stuff. Love it!!

[@mrbrightsidetf2]

I did not expect this album to be SO good, the movie quotes were a nice touch and the compositions themselves are written masterfully. A joy to listen to!

[@shasgrat]

malfet bring out some of the best dungeon synth albums

The ending gave me the chills

[@Wudugast]

This was truly an emotional experience.

[@ggkkkgkgkkgkgkg]

God damn this is good...

[@Supahdave1000]

10/10, absolute slapfest. Would patiently wait for the drawbridge to lower so I can stand my ground against menacing blood-red eyes peering at me from the darkness of the castle's archway again.

20:30 this is just beautiful, haven't heard something this good in a long time

[@StepSoftlyGhost]

Just came back from a walk around Kenilworth Castle. This really prolongs the feeling of it.

[@NoizenNitram]

magnificent and absolutely beautiful! A true Dungeon Synth masterpiece

[@kkvibe2707]

Came just to comment on how good this record is. So overlooked, but may be the best dungeon synth release of 2023! Incredible production, album flow with a level attention rarely afforded in the genre, gorgeous wide array of well-textured synth sounds.

[@peanutbutterjelle]

The ending is perfect

[@Iluvatia]

This one has been on repeat like CRAZY lately 💖

[@Voxterx]

First time hearing malfet good stuff

[@MVHiltunen]

Immensly good album. Especially towards the end.

[@Mitula_elven_warrior]

Ooooh I love them, I have all of their music on vinyl! They are among of the best of Dungeon Synth

[@Dungeon_Synth_Enjoyer]

It's only one person. But yeah he's on a league of its own. Him and Quest Master

[@stevefugatt7075]

Excellent! Malfet makes some great music.

[@Fernt]

I usually prefer spooky/trippy vibes with my dungeon synth, but malfet really does the folk medieval vibe in a way I enjoy

[@Dungeon_Synth_Enjoyer]

Master at work, as always. HAIL LORD MALFET! ⚔

[@Raumzeit_Cooperations]

Very well!

[@78Flupke]

Reading Dragonlance novels to theses tunes is epic!

[@manfIesh]

beginning of ride for ruin is so tasty

[@jamesclark2663]

Solid gold. Its hard to find the right mix of ambience and melody in some dungeonsynth albums. This hits the sweet spot right between the two.

[@Blisterdude123]

Same here. I like a bit of a stronger melody to my DS, so I do tune out on some that are a bit more meandering/ambient. Doesn't mean I think they're bad, it just doesn't hook me quite so much. But this was lovely to listen to.

"But in her web she still delights To weave the mirror's magic sights, For often through the silent nights A funeral, with plumes and lights And music, came from Camelot: Or when the moon was overhead Came two young lovers lately wed; 'I am half sick of shadows', said The Lady of Shalott."

[@BakhtiyarAbidov]

Seeing Malfet opening for Mortiis right before the pandemic was one of the only good things to happen in 2020

Same here. This is all new to me. I was searching for music to use during my high fantasy table top sessions.

I'm so happy to hear this album! This is now my second favourite album and band. You know, I'm just starting getting to this genre, if you have some cool stuff to share - please, comment about it!

Sephiroth- Cathedron is a really good album.

[@stariknodens]

@@redfogwhitefrost2583 thank you very much for this recommendation!

[@redfogwhitefrost2583]

@@stariknodens I hope you enjoyed it. It's still one of my favorite albums.

[@stariknodens]

@@redfogwhitefrost2583 yes of course! Reminds me Zealoth's last album, which cover has a skull, a ship and winter mountain, I really would like to find something similar to that, but the thing you've recommended is probably better, than that thing I've considered as my favourite!

That was beautiful beyond my vocabulary, I honestly felt transported to a whole new world. I could feel the tall grass kissing my fingers, the tall trees that reached the clouds, all of it. It was unbelievable. Heck, I used this for one of my writing sessions for my epic fantasy novel and I must say, Malfelt, if you are out there, thank you. You made me want to write just a little bit longer, thank you for making such fine art. Truly, you have my eternal thanks!
