I listened to Burzum's Daudi Baldrs and was hooked, I needed to find more music like it!!! It's like I knew dungeon synth existed but hadn't heard much of it, and I'm so glad I found this channel!!
Me too! Until May 9th I didn't even know about its existence, then thanks to "Corvus Neblus - Confronting Barovia" I discovered this wonderful world of music. What wonderful words Old-School Dungeon Synth!
Back in the mid 90s, there were a handful of black metal musicians that had side projects in which they played what was known as "ambient" music, the term dungeon synth is quite new to me, but it definitely makes sense! Great stuff!
@@erebusreact0rVarg is more or less the forerunner for atmospheric/ambient black metal. It could be argued that Burzum birthed two separate genres of music; Atmospheric Black Metal and Dungeon Synth, the latter of which is often used as intro pieces for the former
listening to this while drinking some homebrew Cider and playing Old School Runescape. Ah man, I feel incredible, beyond words. This kind of music really brings you to a special place.
Dungeon Synth it calms me down and gives me energy at the same time. Transports you to distant places full of fantastic landscapes, dreamy castles, creatures and feelings of well-being.
How is it possible that I, who loves minstrel music, medieval things, RPGs, retro fantasy, Dungeon and Dragons, LOTR, fantasy in general, swords, barbarians, Kane, Conan and Cthulhu that I missed this AWESOME DUNGEON SYNTH THING?!
That castle-alkazar is right next to where I used to live in Spain. While walking inside those towers this is the exact kind of music I imagined. Interesting and creepy fact in this castle there is a big room and on the wall there are some persons painted, but their eyes are not white but totally dark, very alien like it's awesome!
I love the first track of this album. It just presses all the right buttons for me. I've fallen in love with dungeon synth over the last couple of years, because aside from the obvious talent and the musical landscapes and mystical realms it paints, it's a callback to a more innocent time. A time when people didn't make music for the money or copyright their band names or intellectual properties, but when people made music for the love of music, for the love of the things that inspired them, and wrote music from the heart, not sticking to tried and tested formulas. The fact it's also revitalized cassette tapes is a big factor too I think.
Я обожаю маленькое лютеранское кладбище в своем городе, но у меня не было подходящей музыки, чтобы по нему гулять. теперь она есть! Благодаря тому, что я набрела на это видео, я открыла для себя целый жанр! ❤
I have this weird fixation about making a fantasy movie, with all the 80's and 90's particularities, synth soundtrack, pratical vfx, film cameras, downgraded audio quality, dull big strong male main character. But with the best writing we could have nowdays and a big budget. People really dedicated to make the inpaintings as impressive as it could be, the pratical vfx creatures. The fog on miniatures. I would love it immensly. Maybe, If I get to be one of the luckiestpeople on earth, I could work in the vfx department. That would be lovely
@@Randy-ss7xu wow. I'm speechless. I openend youtube to check a tutorial and I saw your comment.

'Ancient' Mortiis! Oh hell no! Heres a young black metal head, probably born around 1995 - 1998. Got into bm and d synth around age 15 and is going to try to be polite about all that 'ancient stuff you 👴 old people used to listen to. Now I feel old. This is one my Ancient old banged head will never forget. ANCIENT Mortiis! LOL friend. I Had to do it!
Best RUclips channel in this niche providing us with epic fantasy synth music😇Thank you, my mood and productivity is lifted while I'm working and listening these! ps. greetings from Finland, didn't know this awesome artist
This is my first listen of any dungeon synth. I love it, early 80s carpenter vibe while playing rpgs on the nes. Recommend to me my next adventure please...
Beautiful soundscapes! Top notch album! I mostly listen to music to drift off into another dimension, or another place in time and space, anything to get me out of reality. Finally listening to Dungeon Synth albums blew me away, its more than capable of all that. Imagination is far better than reality, at least for me and my anxiety. Thank you Old Sorcery for making epic music. Thank you DSA for being an archive of beauty.
I found out about this music genre recently, and it now one of my favorites ever. I am playing this while I create my own orcs vs humans strategy game.
One of the best ones on this channel! I can't get enough out of the music on this channel. Dark, somber music is so good for you. It doesn't depress me, it actually makes me feel alive and elevated! Ethereal music, chthonic music, music of the spheres! Music composed in the style of what William Blake called "the infernal method"!
Been getting into dungeon synth over the past year or so and this album is one of the best I’ve heard. It’s up there for me for the best next to Depressive Silence’s ‘96 album. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for creating this.
One of the best Dungeon Synth albums. I've been listening to this since last spring when it was still snowing heavily. I used to walk in the small woods we have here and just be in another place.
Just found out about Old-school dungeon synth through the gnome memes that are popular. Old Sorcery seems to be a pretty popular band in that genre. And it's amazing to see they're finnish. Even some of the song names are in finnish.
i love exploring this channel so much, i knew early mortiis and a few others for over 20 years, but had no idea the genre has become so big by now, until i accidentally bumped into this place while actually digging up the old mortiis' albums after a pretty long break ofc not everything is equally good, but there are true gems, this, thangorodrim and malfet are my biggest favourites so far, i hope i discover more :)
So I'm just finding out about dungeon synth, idk how I haven't heard of it till recently. As a fan of old school epic doom type stuff this one especially seems interesting.
Old-School doesn't mean harsh or noisy sound. Or ripped from a tape. It's the concept, the spirit of the album or the atmosphere the artist is trying to achieve that we're talking about here.
Really enjoying my new discovery of dungeon synth music. For many years I’ve enjoyed soundtracks from video games like Might and Magic 6, 7 and 8. I scoffed unwisely at first, but this genre holds some of the classiest tunes I’ve ever heard. Works like this, I place alongside Bladerunner themes for their ability to inspire. This is how Mike Oldfield would sound if he was goth. :)
The powerful or ensouled relics of the past and the techniques that accomplished them. How they knew the world compared to how we moderns usually know the world. I get the humor, but believe it makes complete sense, in fact there is such a gap in places between old and new that people can see no gap at all.
@@Syklonus Quite obviously because I want to see what all the fuss is about - y'know, to listen to it, before I make a judgement? I listened to it, now I've made my judgement - it's boring, and predictable, just like your comments.

The release date will be in the beginning of November. You will be notified here, or in the dungeon synth facebook group. Wait for it! :)
Pre-order for cassettes and digipack went live today!!! Check the Wolfspell Records bandcamp page!
Done! Pre-ordered!

because for decades it was just a handful of tapes made by obscure black metal musicians
This is absolutely one of the best dungeon synth albums of all time
Agreed!
Their 'Strange and Eternal' album is one of the best I've heard, which is why I'm here.
Music to wander the hall of memories laid to waste.
“The scroll reads, ONLY LINK IS ABILE TO DEFEAT GANOAN”
"Gee, it sure is boring around here."
So majestic. Perfect for enjoying everlasting loneliness.

Tapes are a very good support for old school music. Better than vinyl, to me. The only things I like about vinyl are the bigger cover art.
ppl never stopped to "make music for the money", you listened to the wrong bands pal ;)
Yeah what gepeto said, that "innocent" time you're talking about never died. In fact, I'd say the music scene is stronger than ever.

I cannot count how many times the Alcazar of Segovia has been used in covers. Black metal, heavy metal, atmospheric, neofolk... you got them all
sorcerers dream oozes with this old school dungeon feeling. It feels like a game that i have never played but had fun memory's playing it.
Makes me want to play D&D, MTG and Warhammer all night long.

Hell fucking yeah
Playing 40k late into a rainy night nothing better
I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!

I'm still awestruck by how fantastic the first two minutes of the first track are. The song truly lives up to its name.
Замечательный альбом! Люблю тихими вечерами успокоиться и послушать dungeon synth. Спасибо тем людям, которые работают в этом жанре и ценят его.

And Never forget mid 90s Mortiis!
Varg invented Dungeon Synth
Love the minimalism of this album. Nothing extra or unnecessary. But what is there works so well to establish the scene and feeling.
This is so hauntingly familiar and beautiful; eerily comforting and nostalgic too.
Let me tell you, this is one of the best dungeon synth albums ever.
I have this weird fixation about making a fantasy movie, with all the 80's and 90's particularities, synth soundtrack, pratical vfx, film cameras, downgraded audio quality, dull big strong male main character.

there is a "cosmic" vibe like old school electro (Klaus Schulze and so) in this, so good
Hail Klaus Schulze!!
yes! The berlin school type sound, it's very nice to hear this in combination with the Dungeonsynth grimness.
This really does have a Klaus sound to it, I didn't place until I read your comment.

One of the best Dungeon Synth albums. I've been listening to this since last spring when it was still snowing heavily.
I used to walk in the small woods we have here and just be in another place.
This is great, really classic style. Reminds me of Soporific Sorcery, especially with that thin organ sort of sound that starts around 7:50.
Excellent..............Black dark ambient......
Huh, well what do you know. Magickal sorrow is much more enjoyable than actual sorrow. Here's my like.
I really like the castle on the cover. Music sounds dark and fantastic.
You can visit it. It is in Segovia, Spain.
Lmao I’m down a new rabbit hole with this
this is the first Dungeon Synth Archives mp3 I heard a couple years ago. It is still one of the best. Old Sorcery has more albums that are also great.
Thank GOD it wasn't a FLAC.
Fucking hell, you never disappoint with these uploads. Thanks for helping add on to my playlist!
With pleasure ! Don't forget to support the artist - some tapes are coming soon as far as I know ! ;)

As opposed to new sorcery
Ever hear of chaos magic...?
That's the kind Jeff Goldberg uses to beat the aliens! SPEAR!
Arminius The Cherusker modern sorcery, like the intranet and streaming services
