A lot of the comments are rightfully gushing over the beautiful music, but I haven't seen a lot of talk about the aesthetic of these tracks. Most of the song/album covers are nature themed and dark. Lots of red, tan, and black isolating the subject of the picture. The most notable exemption from the color pattern is The Elderwood Guardian (my favorite album) with the grass green background and white objects. However, these all give me a slightly uneasy feeling, like I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be. The music absolutely adds to this vibe, but the cover art is what primes us for the experience. This is all to say that I adore the cover art. I'd like to have a poster of The Elderwood Guardian on my wall, I enjoy these that much. Keep at it Witch Bolt. I can not wait to hear (and see) what you create next.
You're work always gives me inspiration to get back into writing my dark fantasy novel. My ADHD really gets on top of me, been trying to get meds to deal with it for years, but your music always pulls me back into the zone. thankyou
That's a hell of a compliment. Finding the right medication is something I struggled with too. Keep at it, you'll get that executive function under control.
In what appears to be an endless torrent of AI generated garbage 🗑️ everywhere one turns, it is refreshing to stumble upon something so wonderful. Thank you
So glad I found this channel a while ago, this music has been helping some of my friends recently affected by the Florida hurricane deal with the devastation. Really calms the heart and quiets the mind even with disaster about
Magpies and Fencelines pulls a kind of sorrow from my soul that is so all-consuming, overwhelming, it's like my bones turn to lead. It's so beautiful and sad. Beautiful and sad and full of mourning and hope. Almost can't stand what it does to the heart of mine. Thank you so much for this.
Bones of Aurum (or Gold) is by far my favorite, until I listen to all of it again. The story told here is amazing. I can imagine everything visually just from the sounds, and the ideas the songs inspire are so great. Thank you for helping me rediscover my imaginative spark.
Let's just say that with the heavy winds blowing and the leaves beginning their autumnal metamorphosis: this album has dropped at the right time. Great work, you've got a lifelong fan! I was listening to the album while driving around after harvest in my small town and watching some fields being burned. The back drop of an early night and flames in the distance on old gravel roads was a great combo with this album. Let this album transport you OR I highly recommend listening to this album while outside on an autumn walk. It will help reinforce the experience when you inevitably come back to listen to it later. Keep up the great work!
You are seriously gifted in such a nuanced way. I really love this. Thank you for what you do. My best friend just started rooming with me, and he games, I never really got to (wasn’t allowed to growing up) and I’ve been wanting to play fantasy stuff cause I’m a Tolkien nerd and what not so I sent him the link to your games and I think we’re gonna check them out this weekend. You got a new fan and friend out here in Texas dude! Keep your chin up, we’re all in this hell together.
thank you for this, friend. Dungeon Synth should become more known of course some part of me is against it, because trve kvlt and all, wanting ds to be this obscure thing, but then others wouldn't be able to experience its magic!!
Haha I totally get the mixed feelings. I grew up in metal and hardcore so when a band gets attention it's bittersweet. I started out obscure lol. I never thought anyone would listen. I was planning to have a celebration when I hit 50 subscribers. I honestly have no idea how it has gained so much traction. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for listening.
i was thinking about trying to figure out how you guys made those synths, but that settles it, now i just gotta try and experiment with different sounds
Good question. There's no specific school or style I'm trying to emulate. My inspiration has been fantasy, the occult, and medieval tarot cards made with woodblock prints. I spoke with a friend who knows more than me about visual art that said a good approximation would be high-fantasy in the style of folk horror 🤷 .

I would like to congratulate the youtube algorithm for this suggestion. Running errands has never felt so ominous

RUclips was really persistent on this one for me, I ignored it all month. Glad I finally clicked.

Bones of Aurum is amazingly majestic. Thanks Witch Bolt- you've just got a new subscriber 👍
Said it before, and i stay by my words, this is perfect for traditional roguelike-ing !!! synthcore + ascii + imagination = BOOM

Babe, wake up. New Witch Bolt just dropped.
But babe a new With Bolt album just came out....9 times in the last two months!

Best music for my party and I to get in the mood for DnD

I thank you for this video
I had a mental break through with this and it was oddly exactly what I needed and was not looking for.

First time visitor. Love this ambient music!
Love it. The guitar in "Teach Me to Be Small" around 01:32:45 reminds me of the Twin Peaks theme.
Haha no way! That was my inspiration on the clean guitar with the faint slapback delay.
@@WitchBoltMusic Well it's a great sound 😂
The image for this is awesome!
I love your stuff! Been listening for a couple of months now.
Staring into the witch's face while listening to "The Tiny Glow..." is so haunting....
Folks when life has you beat sometimes you need to ride out and meet it.
another PERFECT track enjoy this month yesssss
so glad i found this! love it!
This album brings tears to my eyes
Good stuff. Definitely feels like Bellow, which I very much like.
Perfect music for my work! Thank you so much!♥♥♥
I don't know how to explain this, but it quiets my brain enough to think.
That's my goal!

Oh nice sound.
I was waiting for this, just majestic
I've stumbled on a real gem. thank you!!
This is such a fascinating record.
Thanks!
Oh yeah, thats the stuff!
Peak Bolt strikes twice.
Well if this isn't a sign to get back to writing, I don't know what is
It sure is a sign, isn't it...? These tracks just fires up my imagination for what I love the most: developing fantasy characters for my stories.
Immaculate vibes.
More witch bolt woo!

Bless you and the wonderful things you create Witch Bolt ♡ you make some of the most kino ambient tracks.
What a compliment! Thank you 🍄
witch bolt ftw
beautiful
great stuff
this is nice
This is so sick
and it is obviously great!
there's a cricket in my room and sometimes I can't tell if it's the song or the cricket making fun bug noises lmao (beautiful music btw)
It can be both
Love it love it
Can't wait 🔥🔥🔥
PhD Leave of Absence about to be cancelled! Thank you WB
so cool :)
glorious

Holy shit at 38:10 I got an ad which started with people loudly gasping in shock and I almost died-
Haha sorry, that's the issue with dynamic music. If an ad interrupts in a soft part it scares the shit out of people.
Good metal.
Aww Yiss!
hey! just want to let you know that the merch link in the descripion is not working
besides, as usual, amazing work !!
Thanks so much! Fixed it!
A language much older than my knowing 😩

Yes! Experiment! I'd love to hear what you make
really beautiful jesus christ
Sounds extremely similar to "Our Journey's End, Pts 1-4" by Controlled Bleeding (1996).
Amberwind, if you're listening... a future song might come to you-
When Symbols Outlive Their Meaning
Like skeuomorphs
@@WitchBoltMusic Thank you for teaching me this word!
Also, the Witch Bolt Spell is much better in the new PHB. Embrace your inner Sith Lord and deal lightning damage
Is there a chance I could get my hands on the color palette you use?

Is this the prelude to my hearing loss? I won't say I understand everything I am listening to but what I do hear kinda sound dark and foreboding.

Shoot me an email at witchboltmusic@gmail.com
do you guys plan on releasing these tracks as single videos on youtube? i love to play them during my dnd games
I don't but I'm on Spotify and all the major streaming platforms

@@WitchBoltMusic oh thanks a bunch! I never knew how those "topic" playlists worked. I thought RUclips put them together randomly.
Kind of. They're generated by my music distributor and RUclips.
do you create your art work? I am an art student trying to research styles for class, and I wanted to look at the artist for it
I sure do
Awsome! thanks for responding, if you don't mind answering, how do you create your artwork? and what inspires you?
Yeah happy to discuss! Shoot me an email at witchboltmusic@gmail.com

Cool vibe. Ai generated or human made? (What a 2024 question 😂)
I make all the art. iPad and SketchBook.
one of my players arent that big a fan of backround music for some reason, but I think this might change their mind
I love your music but are the cover images you use AI?
they've stated before that they don't use AI in any of their work- think i saw it in the comments on the Bellow album vid, not animated
