Wait a second, the titles of the tracks reads like a poem.

[@guymontag162]

That’s for pointing that out. The poem made me tear up.

[@heavymetalalien6285]

Came because of the art, stayed because of the music. Atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful. Thanks to @killingtime9283 for pointing out the track titles make a poem. Simply great.

ive never really listened to dungeon synth but ever since i was young i always LOVED fantasy settings (books, movies, songs, etc.) and one of my favorite mythical beasts happens to be a unicorn. im not even gonna lie, the macabre thumbnail drew me in the most. listening to the music and coupling it with how the titles make up a short story is just impeccable. the tracks feel as though they seamlessly flow into one big story that progressively shifts tone. honestly though if i had to pick, my favorite is "we beheld a mare with ivory horn" because it just sounds so melancholic and packed with loss. ive done nothing but loop this video for the past few days. sorry if this went on way too long, but just everything about this is so perfect from the music, the story, the art, it's all so wonderfully put together.

It's a blessing and a curse that this great contemporary music is still largely underground.

[@syys5640]

Agreed.

[@guymontag162]

We’re safe in the D U N G E O N.

There's nothing more magical. Even when it's undead.

@Noah The first thing that came to mind was The Last Unicorn but I'm not sure if that's the thing you're thinking about

[@darken-wood]

@Noah you might be thinking of the film Legend

[@decemberboy6893]

@Noah Legend from 1985 by Ridley Scott! ✌🏻

[@Sm00t]

@Noah Legend by Ridley Scott! It stars a young Tom Cruise as the male lead and Tim Curry as a huge red horned devil.

[@tomaszjargunna4564]

Dungeon Synth in it's purest form.
Magical stuff.

[@cosmolosys]

So pretty, I love the titles, I love how everything comes together, I love the vibes

[@RussellTeapot]

At last! Through the Ethereal Roads of The InterWebz, driven by the almighty Algorithm, this marvel has been put before my ears, leaving me in awe and contemplation!
Oh, I see in the description that you did the cover art aswell, absolutely fantastic

[@GorgonsAlter]

You're honestly becoming one if not my current favorite artist in this genre and I'm spreading your music around to all my buds like wild fire.

[@darken-wood]

Thanks! I appreciate it! I'm digging your songs too

[@GorgonsAlter]

@@darken-wood I didn't know you were checking them out! That's awesome and thank you

[@pendasfen]

[@edgymcwedgie4420]

I got recommended this, and it's really nostalgic for me but idk why. I love it though

[@gabrielladavidson2938]

the synth voice @7:22 is my absolute fave

[@fwifful]

Wonderful tunes, I keep coming back to this one in particular! Thanks for posting, and please keep making these. I will definitely be sharing with my D&D group during future sessions.

[@keqw194]

Greetings from Belarus! This music was my best discovery this summer so far. Bound in Briar of Enchanted Thorn is absolutely majestic melody.

[@scorpionteeth6160]

So glad to have found this , it's such a vibe. The art is beyond lovely too c:

[@gargoylefangs]

Holy shit absolute banger ambience tunes! Very inspiring!!!

Great album! I also love the poem the track titles are!

Very good dungeon synth album Mr. D. Long :)
Every track moves to a different story.

[@killingtime9283]

"it was meant to turn them.. into the undead! Defend yourselves!"

[@mmm.631]

[@amfortas]

Sounds like Solitude Forest, similar VSTs

[@minerva66]

Reminds me of "The death of Malygris"
