SINCE IT'S REALLY COLD HERE, I decided to draw a picture of Hanna going to visit her sister Tsuki in the shadow kingdom in winter XD

Robespierre - Garden Of Hell

Robespierre – Garden Of Hell

Robespierre announce themselves with NWOBHM debut ‘Garden Of Hell’

There are many events throughout history that take time to come to fruition, the universe as we know it is roughly 13.8 billion years old, the Earth, a mere 4.543 billion years. In that time many civilisations have risen and faded into obscurity, many armies have conquered and fallen. Liverpool band Robespierre surely fall into…

DUNGEON SYNTH

I’d like to discuss a bit about dungeon synth. You can easily get an idea of what this genre is about by checking out early MORTIIS material. This mainly-instrumental genre conveys a crude and eerie medieval atmosphere that I love to get lost into lately. Lo-fi production, cheap keyboard sounds, percussions, choirs... There is fragile and strange balance between all these elements that somehow manages to take you somewhere else. Just like a good black metal demo, it makes a perfect late-night listening to forget about daily-life futility.  I love this Mortiis video for how it’s much more accurate than any words to sum up what’s good about the genre : LINK.

There are also some new excellent stuff in the genre. After one demo, Forgotten Kingdoms released its first album few months ago called Blue Moon Gate Between Worlds. Both releases are excellent stuff, even though I wish the vocal delivery would be just whispers instead of heavily filtered spoken words. First demo is amazing but hard to find now.

THE SHADOW KINGDOM is a cooperation between two labels, Crude Form and Shunned House. It’s mainly dedicated to dungeon synth releases and I heavily recommend everything they released. Not far from the Mortiis video mentionned earlier, they released a 15 minutes video called Visions Of The Shadow Kingdom. The limited edition includes some great artworks as well as a tape version of the audio from the DVD.

I have attached ome artworks to the full post from dungeon synth artists. First, cover art of the first Forgotten Kingdoms demo. Then, a picture of the Old Tower guy, highly recommended stuff too (two tapes on TSK imprint). Finally, some screenshots from the Visions Of The Shadow Kingdom DVD. Hope you’ll enjoy.
