As a follower of Hellenic culture, I have dedicated many demos to that theme and I was delighted to find your work by dugeon synth

[@Tholgrimar]

Thanks so much! Been reading about Mycaene recently and thought it would make a good Sujet for Dungeon synth.

[@anthonyalexander7480]

This comment confused me for a moment. "Wait, he's dedicating cities? What does that mean?"

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

Subscribed.

[@MutilatedMedia]

very nice and appropriate burzum reference in shift of times

[@Tholgrimar]

Well spotted. "Rundgang..." is the beginning of it all!

[@valentinstreck5157]

For the name alone, I love ! I was just reading an article about the Mycenaean civilization and the tomb of Agamnenon in Mycenae. "Et voici maintenant le Destin qui me tient. Eh bien ! non, je n'entends pas mourir sans lutte ni sans gloire, ni sans quelque haut fait, dont le récit parvienne aux hommes à venir." Hector, chant XXII, vers 303-305, p. 239

[@Eaon69]

I have gone on a dungeon synth binge this whole year and I still think your album is the best. Idk if you study music composition or anything like that but your music really is structured so well. I hope more people find you because this album is special to me now.

[@christianblair8663]

Really good. The synths are very reminiscent of early Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre.

[@Tholgrimar]

Thanks! Those two have had a big influence on me :)

[@djurreplokkaar8193]

@@TholgrimarIt sounds a bit like Vangelis to.

[@celtictuathism4585]

An epic album. It's about time there was a pioneer in Hellenic Dungeon Synth, and The Tomb of Agamemnon is an epic beginning to a new subgenre.

[@JdjdbNdjdb]

pioneer? wtf? there was greek DS in 1990 lmfao

37:27 Oh, come on. This is directly lifted from Burzum's 'Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule Der Singularitat'.

[@Tholgrimar]

Yes!!!

[@jamesbenis3734]

Slowly becoming my favorite dungeon synth album, every time I come back it gets better

[@aridia5483]

I have now learned how to tip the bowl that is to full, i can now watch as it slowly fills up again by the years.

[@JulianWegner]

Herzereißend. Ich hatte Agamemnon nicht so Gefühlvoll im Gedächtnis. Danke für die wirklich schöne Erinnerung an ihn. Toll!

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

Love all the Greek literary references in the track titles.

[@aitsailerev]

That's really good, my friend!

[@smilemax9346]

When I re-read the Iliad, this is going in the background.

[@halflifeger4179]

As someone who just visited Mycenae, I feel this deeply

[@titaneous2915]

great

[@fanta4897]

Start of the Shift of times is really similar to Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule Der Singularitat by Burzum.

[@akhetcypresssage2580]

This calls for a celebration 😁

[@Ramkain]

Subbed. Mysterious. Loving it. Greetings from a historian and a follower of Christ

[@Tholgrimar]

I thank you dearly! Actually that piece is an improvisation. I tried to hold myself back not to put to many modern harmonic elements into the piece ( I studied Jazz-improvisation), but rather keep it within a simpler musical frame (4ths and 5ths, Fanfare timbres etc.). I think in the end the music is bigger than the sum of its parts, and I just tried to put a lot of meaning into my playing, just like the people who created this stunning sculpture on the gate over 3000 years ago.

[@Ramkain]

@@Tholgrimar There are some people in the world, who just have to write a book.

Sounds like Rundgang um die transzendentale Säule der Singularität

I revise for exam listening to this album. I feel like medieval alchemist 😅

Bounced on ma hobbits choad to this one !!

[@halflifeger4179]

is there Dungeon Synth similar to this that you could recommend? Also a big fan of Golden Fleece's "Journey to Colchis"

[@ИльяДолжников-ж2я]

Sounds like Jim Kirkwood's works)

[@Eaon69]

i love all the songs but if it was color yes. idk if its morning or night in the album cover. it kind of looks night but regardless its an amazing album

[@Tholgrimar]

I agree. The cover was now changed to color. It's on my bandcamp. On KZbin I can't change the vid. Cheers!

[@Eaon69]

@Tholgrimar oh heck yes! Nice job.

[@Yokai.Wakukhan]

The intro's are straight from dungeon ether

[@destihado1]

The first half is incredible. I think in the second half the album loses steam a little bit. Great work overall. Definitely in my playlist!

[@MarcusHelius]

lol that first track is the Terminator theme XD

[@sapphiregawd]

Thought the same thing!

[@SolarManReborn]

Not 1:1

[@sapphiregawd]

@@SolarManReborn yeah but similar, you cant say its not

[@SolarManReborn]

@@sapphiregawd sure it is, not 1:1, but very very similar. Like 80% match. Sounds like a clear inspiration. By the way - Terminator soundtrack was really good.

[@sapphiregawd]

@@SolarManReborn thats a huge nostalgia for me

[@RIUUI007]

Would go well with an early Final Fantasy game 👌

[@awarnesscarelessbn]

With this music you can imagine a time when there were dragons so vividly. 🤘🏾

[@MikkoOnBass]

Damn, this goes hard. Cassette release when? :D

[@Tholgrimar]

I will look into it. Do you have any label suggestions?

[@MikkoOnBass]

@@Tholgrimar All I know of DS labels are Out of Season and Dungeons Deep, though they're based in the US, so not sure how convenient that'd be. I'm sure there's a few in the EU! Quick search reveals Forsaken Relics/Gondolin Records 🤔

[@coreydotson2524]

Ancient Meadow Records Moonworshipper Records Dungeons Deep Records are some of the best out there. Would love to support you by buying a physical release. Also you should create a Bandcamp if you haven’t already.

[@pawelisecki6054]

what is the album cover of?

[@Tholgrimar]

It's not a historical depiction. I made it using the ai Tools from picsart, and then photoshopped it.

[@myksaldar2995]

very similar to jaguar temple steps tikal yucatan

Absuluter player man

[@Tholgrimar]

...absoluter player...

[@MegaCirse]

Cosmic? Gorgeous? These echoes of darkness which inhabit us and which we deny, reminiscences of time immemorial where Lilith - before Eve - consoled Adam, voice of the splendid Nature that the proud bipeds despise unjustly, lyrical lament of organs abandoned in ruined chapels. The unfolding of these melodies delivers us a moment from our chains and delights the soul by propelling it into dionysiac dens resplendent with chaos where the devils laugh at the sour Reason who goes grumbling 🔥

[@Tholgrimar]

Well spoken!

[@tamash.5291]

hmm

[@Diomedes_Tydides]

I was looking for something to listen to while i read The Iliad. 🔱🪙
