No mention of Eternal Fear, Pazuzu, Grabesmond, Cernunnos Woods, Glacial Empire, Erevos, Nocturnal Funeral, Anger of Gods (or B.S.o.D.), Forgotten Pathways, Mournlord, Shadowcaster, Philosophy, and on and on and on. Most of those aren't even obscure by today's standards.

      Can personally recommend basically everything made by Umbria or Pauldron, but there is tons of stuff out there, some great some not, but I feel like if you are into fantasy-esque and ambient music you are bound to find something just right for you. I personally especially like the darker stuff that is not too monotone.

    I love dungeon synth, and I listened to this while driving, and I have to confess that I had a stack of DnD books in my passenger seat from my last gaming session... And not the current edition, oh no, it's old shit, because ofc it is, lol. Honorable mention for this type of music (at least in my mind) is some of the tracks from the soundtrack for the late 90s PC games Thief: the Dark Project, and Thief2: the metal age. I guess they would be more "dark ambient" en general, but there's a handful of sections which recall all that I love about Dungeon Synth (look up Horn of Quintus on YT, and you can find someone who looped that 30ish second clip into like a 10 minute track. It's dark, minimalist, very atmospheric, and then occasionally throws punches like a heavyweight boxer.

It is also very very similar to Castles and Crusades btw, but from that basis I've homebrewed a lot, also borrowing from the 3e "Thieves World" book by Green Ronin for a setting inspired very heavily by the Thief games which I mentioned actually lol, cos when I get in to something I get all the way in I guess.

    Alot of german or "krautrock" bands from the late 60s to early 70s (Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Neu, Ashra & Popol Vuh, Can, etc.) were already experimenting with ambient textures using synths & other studio effects + recording wizardry which has a similar outcome to Dungeon Synth.
    Makes me think if the creation was just a coincidence or they partially took notes from it just like with Synthwave music being inspired by 1980s film soundtracks & electro music.
