    I like how the songs in this album each have a pairing
    Narchost - Carchost: the two guard towers in the towers of the teeth
    Angband - Ard Galen: Ard Galen was a complete contrast to the thangorodrim until Dagor Bragollach, with green fields
    Ringil - Grond: Ringil was the sword of Fingolfin, the high king of the Noldor who challenged Morgoth. Morgoth had, you guessed it, grond
    Isenmouthe - Ered Lithui: Pass in the northwestern Mordor, and Ered Lithui the mountains of ash that protected the land
    Numenor - Felling of Nimloth: Numenoreans felled Nimloth shortly before the sinking of their high civilization and the utter doom that awaited most of the dunedain

It's like being transported into a fantasy realm and experiencing all of the joys, trials, tribulations and wonder through the soundscape.
    Many of the dungeon synth works evoke this feeling and are timeless pieces of masterwork craft.

    For long the land has remained peaceful; without strife, without turmoil. Then the earthen peaks rumbled and from this rumble was born fearsome beasts of fiery scales, who then descended upon all the land. One by one the kingdoms fell as they were reduced to smoulders, for nothing could hinder or halt the great dragons in their campaign of destruction. Eventually the peaks rumbled once more, this time letting out a terrifying roar as ashen miasma filled the now reddened skies, while burning rock rained down. After the earthen peaks had settled, after the lands had been scorched black, after the ash had settled; all that remained was a barren world, irritated by the red burning sky.
    Yet from this unprecedented calamity would rise a single man, one born of the same scale as the dragons themselves, to bear the flame, the very flame that brought ruin, and turn it into the instrument of prophecy. Soon kings and warriors were heralded from all corners of the world to praise the new flame, in a newborn defiance against the tyrant rule of the dragons. This defiance came to be called: The Everflame pact.
    Now it is time for the brave and the adventurous to rise to the occasion and band with the Everflame pact; so arise, hero, seeker of justice, arise, adventurer, seeker of new land, arise soldier, seeker of treasure. Arise! Arise all to the great mission to defy the draconic order!

    • @DrossProwler
      @DrossProwler 4 роки тому +20

      Nah, it's not specifically about DnD although people do like associating this genre with it. Mostly it's reminiscent of old fantasy videogame music, using MIDI-like tones to set a sorta dreamy mood.
      The genre actually originated within the black metal scene in the 80s and 90s, when the first song on a black metal album followed this style. It has evolved into its own thing since, and now it has many subgenres of its own.

    Would it be possible to purchase this for use on a UA-cam channel?

    I don't get why this is referred to as 'old school' dungeon synth. It wasn't originally released in the 90s and its not particularly lofi (no tape hiss). It was made in 2020. Its just Dungeon Synth, nothing 'old school' about it, but still good.

      Think it's referring to the overall style bud
