I’m 42, I just discovered dungeon synth - and I feel like it’s been here, watching me all these years going through life knowing I’m supposed to find it - and once found, I feel like I’m being greeted by an old friend of days past….
ay same! There's some pretty cool books out there that talk about the historical branches between alchemy and modern day chemistry that are pretty cool reads
The amount of times I have played this album in its entirety is insane. I use it for cleaning, art, assignments, etc. This album is just such a specific vibe I can't get anywhere else. I love it, truly.
The light from the gates is a masterpiece. Really feels like those moments in an rpg when your stumbling upon some ancient castle or temple created by a lost civilization, honor bound to fulfill an oath and quest for the king as a humble knight, with the light rays peeking through the stained glass.
It all started with me leveling up with my heavy metal taste when i was a teenager into black metal then dark ambient and after this long epic journey with my hellish demons now it is a warrior rest listening to dungeon synth your album is very personal here and I'll consider that as a magnificent gift for all of us out there the doomed the heart broken the tired souls the lovers the poets the strugglers the warriors the sons of war and pain the sons of agony and fear the peace seekers Sköl 🍻 And greetings from Syria 💚
It's incredible how beautiful this is. It's the sound of my childhood pc gaming but how it sounds in my memories. The dark halls of Eye of the Beholder trilogy I played together with my dad. The old pc speakers. Ultima underworld. And probably games that I don't even remeber. Really glad I found this.
@ that’s such a nice thing you let me know this. I can feel it, really. Btw, is there any soundtrack you particularly love from that time? From your channel i kinda went on a spiral for searching soundtracks from 90s games. It’s hard to get a hold but there are some torrents where people extracted them from the files into mp3’s, which is really great.
@@Zrinko_Maloseja No particular soundtrack, it's more the vibe and atmosphere I get from thinking back to the CRPGs and PnP Roleplaying games I played and the feel of the C64 and Amiga days.
It reminds of when I worked at the Renaissance Faire in my teens dressed as a pirate and walking around with my metalhead, goth, and punk rock friends. Next faire season I wanna sample some of the musicians that are playing and mix it with my 404 while I'm playing my synth. Get some harp and sea shanties in the mix. I wanna sample some obnoxious drunk pirates singing shanties and then mix it to sound kind of disembodied and like hearing a revival band of brothers having a glee time in the distance. While my band of brothers and I are watching them from the distance waiting for the party to crash then sacking them late in the night.
I just turned 30 recently and it took me 30 f**king years to find this genre... Dear God! This is the best thing happened to me after I turned 30... Dear UA-cam algorithm, thank you!
I've got to say I am very happy that I have discovered your work and this genre. I wasn't aware of such music. I am but an old man, perhaps in spirit and in my bones. I have purchased this album on cassette! Thank you for the new world of grand music!!
I am writing a medieval story soon and this is LITERALLY what I've been looking for, for inspiring dark medieval music to play while I write it. Thanks!
I have a serious anxiety disorder. This morning i woke up with heart palpitations and couldnt stop crying. I was scrolling down my yt feed trying to find something to put on in the background while i got on with housework and found this. Sometimes the dungeon synth albums i get suggested are samey, or lack a cohesive flavour. This is some of the best. Full of concept and human touches, and of course, a perfect level of darkly chill to help me regulate. I feel so much better. Thanks man
I have the same, but it has more physically impact than my thoughts, it was hard for me ever come to market for food. but I take medicine that helps me a lot. ask psychiatrist about that if you haven't done it before. yes, and silence and bright artificial light returns partially that anxiety still and I play cartoons all day and night on my phone in background.
I know what you feel, bro. I have it too, and it brings me headpain and throw up. Its already seldom, like once a year or two years, since im in my forties and chilled, but formerly caused me many pains. Maybe try to listen Minas Anor and Realms of Magical Sorrow from Old Sorcery, beside of this one they are strong materials too.
Listening to this was almost like some kind of a spiritual awakening. Amazing work. I'm glad i listened to my youtube's recommendations for once. Just beautiful.
This... This is it!! Dude.... Love this music and I actually fell asleep with your music on! Hope you keep on regularly. People will love and it's high demand from there on out
I found that Skyrim feels good with your music, it have different and unique vibe. Special thank you for that. And yes I love the new album, this time I went to a world where the atmosphere is less rough but mysterious.
This is perfect background music for the hardcore version of World of Warcraft classic, it gives the game a dark fantasy vibe, and where death is permament, thats just the icing on the cake, glad i decided to search "dungeon synth" this did not dissappoint at all!!
Searched for some music for some solo board game sessions, but I were unsatisfied with classic medieval music. Then I found this… and this is what I searched for without knowing. Love it. ❤ I think fallen kingdom and ruby are my favourites. Kingdom has fallen, but ruby gives hope.
I really like what I'm hearing, it kind of reminds me of the game Kingdom for some of the notes and the rain/ambiance added to the music like. it sounds like rain AND like a vinyl turning and the needle scraping at it... I love what you did there!
I need a t-shirt with that cover. All back with little dots of white noise. The knight in the chest and in the back in that red font some text. I would insta-buy. For my birthday I'll buy all cassettes!
btw if you have dandruff you dont need little dots. Jokes aside yes one of my friends have this kind of business and I will make one t-shirt there. The art presented in the content of CryoCrypt is brutal...
There are very few artist that I listen to exclusively for their sound. I don't have a favorite song by Mountain Realm, only because they are ALL incredible works and put me in the perfect headspace for writing fantasy. Genuinely, phenomenal music.
Simon, keep doing what you are doing. You created something magnificent there and you did it all by yourself; you are an inspiration and a real artist. You gave my art block a run for its money, remember that whoever you are. 😂

immaculate vibe
discovered at 34 currently 36 and it has been the best experience of my life. So good.
@Christus.Victor Thank you my friend - same to you…. 👊
@@todestuul I’m glad the sentiment is understood and shared - thanks for sharing my friend…. ✌️
I'm studying chemistry and it feels like I'm an alchemist, searching and discovering knowledge. Very cool album.

100% agree, I must have listened to it more than 60 times..
i will too..

Same thing. If something monotonous/complex/creative to be done - this album is the way to go.

one of the few dungeon synth channels that doesn't sound like a thrift store keyboard, thank you for the quality
If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to listen to Fen Walker, incredible sound (at least for dungeon synth)
Whatever you do I beg you to not stop creating, you have what it takes and I am here for it!

@@ReddHanded_01 Thank you for listening. We are mostly old men dreaming of old games, floppy disks and using screwdrivers on old Commodore tapedecks.
my DnD group will love this
thx man

dungeon synth can be such a mysterious yet familiar genre of music. this album encapsulates that feeling so deeply. ❤
I've listened to this for less than a minute and already added on every platform. Brilliant work, thank you very much

Очень круто. Просто шикарно. Ходить по лесу и слушать подобное просто божественно.
лучше ходить кругами по комнате
@@ilovepeniz, это если вертухай не выпускает!
Honestly judging by the cover I thought it's some metal. What I've found was not what I expected. And I'm staying here. New genre unlocked!
dungeon synth was born out of the instrumental breaks/introductions of black metal songs, so you’re not far off!
So you mean the best part of black metal songs from the perspective of its nonfans@@AAAAA-jm3xn
@@AAAAA-jm3xn which was born out of old shitty pc DOS games
@@tylercherneski1805 don't diss my youth. Many of those songs are still great.
It is actually born from Black Metal... the genre I mean. I am also new here!
Everything about this puts my soul at ease, thank you for this respite.
Listening to this was almost like some kind of a spiritual awakening. Amazing work. I'm glad i listened to my youtube's recommendations for once. Just beautiful.
I'd like take a journey on 🍄 with it. Or some powerful edibles.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!! That's awesome!
thank you, youtube homepage god, for handing me this masterpiece. i cant describe in words how much i loved it. guess i love dungeon synth now!
This is exactly the kind of sound that I am looking for. That gothic electronic sound that is so hard to find.
You nailed it! Subbed.
We forget how much serenity we can find in simplicity
Who forgot that?
Wow, Bronze Key has such a hypnotic calming quality to it. Really enchanting( save vs spells). I could really use a 10 minute loop of that one!
This... This is it!! Dude.... Love this music and I actually fell asleep with your music on!

Bling Bling, it's the sound of the Bell button, smash and share "gang" !
Listening while writing an adventure for AD&D 2nd ed
Thanks for upload.
2nd ed, whoa. Why 2nd ed?
I found this while severly high. Returned to see if it's as good while sober. It most definitely is. Ure doing gods work bruv!
Great stuff! Will definitely be using this as some ambient music in my campaigns. Now I need this album art on a t-shirt.
I am now addicted to Dungeon Synth when I program. I do not program as efficiently without this music, so that means never stop uploading these. kthx
It is raining outside. I have my book and my kitten. SUMMONING was playing but this is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you. 🛡️ 🦇 ⚔️🌲
My little brother just surprised me this cassette the other day. I almost passed out . One hell of a gift.
I love this, I always have your music on when i'm doing my paperwork and everyone always asks what it is. Thank you
this is so calming. nothing but good vibrations
I've listened to this one like ten times already, it's soooo good!
High key listening to this while reading ancient religious texts. A nice ambiance indeed.
Cassette purchased. Thanks again!

PERFECT hiking music!
oooh brave!
People literally can't even walk in the woods in silence now? jfc
guud idea!!
My dungeon synth era has arrived in full swing right on time.
Yep, I'll listen to it again over here too!
You can get rid of me Cryo !
лучший пак для расслабона за ооочень долгое время. Не знаю сколько времени заняло написание альбома но оно явно было потрачено не зря
This is by far my favorite DSynth Album, melodic yet kinda hyping me up and giving me the feel good vibes.
That album art, damn.
I may print that and have that framed on my wall, unless Simon sells printouts of course.
Have this as background while reading Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun. Incredible
Love The Book of the New Sun and his Fuligin Cloaks 😅
I can't stop listening to this while I write. It's so good.
So chill and somehow exciting at the same time. Great mix!
ame este, el del minotauro el del goblin. gracias muy buenos mix bien echos. gracias

I’ve just started reading the book Between Two Fires. Now I have something to listen to for added immersion
This reminds me of Kings Field, thank you.
Loved Kings Field!
Enjoyable ambient / synth stuff - I really dig it. Keep going.
Awesome. Best dungeon synth I've heard lately.
This is magnificent music! Already bought the album! Thank you very much!
I been waiting for something like this for a long time
I like this a lot! Greetings, Newark, UK.
This is a killer release. It really stands out.
Played some dark and darker with this one 🔥
Awesome new album!
I love gothic artwork, i love heavy metal, i love dungeon synth.
this type of music is sooooooo good for a tabletop rpg.
EDIT: its also just super cool music.
soooooooooooo good ! ! !
Thank you for exemplifying good dungeon synth
Man this one is so good. I love it.
This genre deserves more praise ❤
It's all very good but Fallen Kingdom is on repeat and has infected my brain. Well done to whoever created this.
Thanks!
Perhaps my new favorite genre
This is pure bliss.
Hauntingly beautiful
This is pure music! Perfect for work!
Very atmospheric music 😊
Exquisitely well crafted. It transported me. Made my Monday morning, thank you.

Keep to the good work!
