You can tell that Coolea actually kind of likes this genre
He definitely likes most genres he's talking about.
He definitely actually hates it.
I mean just look at him
@@talkingmudcrab718literally made dungeon synth
The genre made for disassociative walks through your local wooded area
Walked through my local village woods after heavy snowfall to a 3 hour Dungeon Synth playlist. Fucking transcendental.
I honestly love listening to regular black metal while walking through a forest or in nature overall.
Damn I hate living in a desert xD
@@user-rj6lb3gx7o Check our Ziggurath
dungeon synth feels like experiencing a mixture between my favorite childhood fantasy games and fantasy books in musical form and I love it
I feel this deeply as I used to play old fantasy games with chiptune soundtracks in the DOS era. It’s so nostalgic, I find great comfort in quest master and other greats.
I know this is meant to be very underground, but it's breaching containment, I came here because of the little wizard guy roaming the stores of a mall video.
same hahahaha
Be prepared normies. Are infiltrating
Same lmao. I've heard dungeon synth before, but now I'm on a deep dive after repeatedly hearing Misantrop on tiktok lmao. I've listened to so much Blod Besvimelse lately
@@gjc2113same and I consider myself more of an IDM/ techno music listener
@@gjc2113 man, tiktok really gentrified shooting heroin and living in fucking Saarland... id love to hear what BSoD has to say about his dead wifes music in those videos
Too bad I'm an ADHD riddled zoomer that sits down and listens to these long ass ambient sounds that take me to the Scandinavian countryside
Need to study the esoteric arcane arts. Need to find gnomes
@@algiz21need to uncover their secrets
I love how you say "It sounds exactly like this image" and it's just describes the vibe perfectly
The trinity of Electronic Metal
Cybergrind (Grindcore)
Deathstep (Death Metal)
Dungeon Synth (Black Metal)
Not metal
Synthpunk. (haha I know punk isn’t metal)
Deathstep better be real because I’m looking forward to hearing it now 😂
And some Eurobeat (power metal) for some reason.
CYBERGRIND???? IS THAT AN ULTRAKILL REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
algorithm pretty fast wit it today
I absolutely love dungeon synth, thank you for brightening my day, friend ⚔️
you must be great at parties
@@AcidSh33tz raiding parties, yes~
@@AcidSh33tzwho needs parties when you can be a trve gnomewegian gnomelord
@@AcidSh33tzWhat do you mean you don’t want to listen to a 20 minute song of someone playing a $3 hello kitty synth while making goblin noises?
@@AcidSh33tzyou must be great at parties, at least OP is genuine about the shit they like
Please do an ignorant guide to power metal next.
YES!! I’ve been wanting this for months
yes
yess
If you're reading this pls don't
World needs it
Depressive Silence mentioned: good video
Also check out Quest Master
and Vindkaldr
Can’t forget Dim 🙏
Also Ulk, Witan and Aindulmedir
I randomly clicked on a Depressive Silence video a couple of years ago and been a fan of dungeon synth ever since.
SAME!
This is an amazing video, in every way, like all your work on Black Metal. I am FLOORED by your level knowledge in not just the history of this genre, but even the most obscure of releases.
With this level of detailed knowledge that even surpasses my own, there is no way, NO WAY you are NOT a fan.
Regardless, keep up the amazing work!
Signed, a Norwegian from Kolbotn.
He's actually pretty dilettante. Very few if any actual obscure releases are mentioned here. Surface level video at best. No mention of Eternal Fear, Pazuzu, Grabesmond, Cernunnos Woods, Glacial Empire, Erevos, Nocturnal Funeral, Anger of Gods (or B.S.o.D.), Forgotten Pathways, Mournlord, Shadowcaster, Philosophy, and on and on and on. Most of those aren't even obscure by today's standards.
Nice to see you here, Andre.
Not surprise that you are a fan.
This is all literally just surface-level knowledge that somebody would acquire from spending an hour on the internet searching 'dungeon synth' and looking at a few forum pages. He doesn't even know how to pronounce Mortiis properly.
@@comfylain right? Bums me out to see all these superlative comments praising this guy's nescience.
@@jordanwhitemanamr womp womp
I discovered dungeon synth through ambient-y interludes on Summoning albums and from that point turning on some dungeon synth is a must have when writing paper rpg modules
Have you found anything similar to Summoning btw? Love that band.
@@Al1987ac A blend of Dungeon Synth and Black Metal? Nope. They're unique as far as I know. But I can recommend many great DSynth albums if you want.
There are definitely some bands that try to be Summoning: e.g. Caladan Brood or Emyn Muil. But idk, I still don't feel they capture the essence of the "Summoning" genre.
Anyway, what are some great DSynths out there?
@@Al1987ac Vindkaldr if you're looking for non-fantasy dsynth. Gnoll, Kobold and Unsheated Glory if you're into fantasy even a little bit
@@moonblade7564Will check. Thanks!
By the way, you may have heard this, but one of the Summoning members, Silenius, had a wonderful 'dungeon synth' project called Mirkwood.
Too few documentaries are this hostile towards it’s own subject matter.
I just discovered this genre a couple weeks ago and I like it a lot! I like to put it on while I cook) clean. Makes me feel like I'm in an RPG
Do you get XP while you cook & clean?
@SamBrockmann no, it just drains your stamina. You have to do it though or else your health goes down and won't recover in any way until you clean, cooking makes food worth more health but it's not necessary.
@@fungustheclown666 , I mean, that. Was. The. Joke.
Have been into dungeon synth since half a year now. Never looked back.
Can personally recommend basically everything made by Umbria or Pauldron, but there is tons of stuff out there, some great some not, but I feel like if you are into fantasy-esque and ambient music you are bound to find something just right for you. I personally especially like the darker stuff that is not too monotone.
I've seen a lot of videos talking about the Black Metal influences on Dungeon Synth, but I wonder why nobody mentions videogame's contributions to the genre? I'd say some of the best Dungeon Synth is found in the soundtracks of dungeon crawlers and fantasy adventure games. King's Field 4 is one of the most 'Dungeon Synth-y' games out there, and many classic Zelda ambient tunes I would also consider Dungeon Synth.
Forreal. I like my Dungeon Synth with a strong 90's CRPG influence
THANK YOU! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!
i dont even have a job
Perfect for Valentines day!!
This is just the kind of chill I needed right now, I'm glad this video popped up in my recommended stuff, ty
Very cool video. I guess I've been creating and listening to Dungeon Synth longer than I realized. My favorite parts of all the Black Metal stuff I listen to are those intros and instrumental interludes. I'm new to the scene but hoping to weave my own Dungeon Synth music and lore now that I'm here. Cheers!
the soundtrack for the first elder scrolls game sounds very similar to dungeon synth as well. this genre is basically 90s fantasy video game music
I love dungeon synth, and I listened to this while driving, and I have to confess that I had a stack of DnD books in my passenger seat from my last gaming session... And not the current edition, oh no, it's old shit, because ofc it is, lol. Honorable mention for this type of music (at least in my mind) is some of the tracks from the soundtrack for the late 90s PC games Thief: the Dark Project, and Thief2: the metal age. I guess they would be more "dark ambient" en general, but there's a handful of sections which recall all that I love about Dungeon Synth (look up Horn of Quintus on YT, and you can find someone who looped that 30ish second clip into like a 10 minute track. It's dark, minimalist, very atmospheric, and then occasionally throws punches like a heavyweight boxer.
which dnd are you playing right now?
@@Hdhdushzhz57743 we kinda had an "OSR" version of 3e from back before anybody used "OSR" to describe older editions, I take a lot from a document that is called "AD&D 3rd edition" which makes it run more like 2e ADND. It is also very very similar to Castles and Crusades btw, but from that basis I've homebrewed a lot, also borrowing from the 3e "Thieves World" book by Green Ronin for a setting inspired very heavily by the Thief games which I mentioned actually lol, cos when I get in to something I get all the way in I guess.
@@Hdhdushzhz57743 that's what I'm running now but I also like BECMI and the "Fictive Hack" systems quite a lot.
Powermetal and dungeon synth is what keeps me alive
Ngl this is your best video yet in my opinion! Please do an ignorant guide to power metal!
Here after the crawling green mall gnome revived a dungeon synth banger out of nowhere and needed more lore on the subgenre
I am a dungeon synth artist and this really nails it. Thank you so much, you made my day. I had to laugh so hard on the tram during my way to work 😂🧙🏼♂️⚔️🖤
Man I love your videos half of the time you're making fun of genres I like and I love it because you're just a funny dude giving me new information without boring my gen z ADHD brain
do dsbm
Do NSBM.

I started listening to a lot of dungeon synth 6 months ago. It's great for drawing and sleeping
Coolea doing videos on music genres is a great watch for anyone who wants to learn other genres that they may haven’t heard of yet
8:13 literally me. i make dungeon synth in my room all day lol
did you release anything yet?
Örnatorpet and Aindulmedir were my intro to dungeon synth, and the Burzum album Thulean mysteries. Now it’s one of my favorite genres :)
I love me some Aindulmedir!
Aw man! Örnatorpets "Blodbad och efterspel" is my top 1 album alongside "The Winter Scriptures" by Aindulmedir. You got an excellent music taste there.
Bro. Those are my favorite bands.
It's unimaginably niche status really contributes to the air of adventure and mystery to dungeonsynth fandom, you need to delve through internet dungeons yourself as intrepid explorers to find it really.
love the new song reminds me alot of aphex twin's weirder stuff
This is my favorite type of content: High effort educational shitpost
As being an active member and creator of the DS community, Thank you.
So,whats your karmacounter on reddit,recieved any updoots lately?
@@questionsfrog1918 uh I'm not active on Reddit. The DS scene is most active on Instagram and Bandcamp as far as I can tell. My project is called Baerdcyn tho. I've been in the scene for 3 years.
Can’t wait to hear your song man the little bit I heard sounds awesome!
2:12 his favorite gif remixed
Incredible innovation on a seemingly perfect base
i love to listen to depressive silence while crafting inside my head scenes of my sword and sorcery/dark fantasy story when on my way to my 12 hour night shift
I've enjoyed some black metal since the wee ages of middle school, but I honestly didn't get majorly into Dungeon -Synth until pretty recently. I love some Umbria and the like.
P.S. "Das Ich" mentioned, nice!
That gnome on Instagram reels brought me here. I regret every single decision I have made today.
i just got myself to listening to Feif. Very relaxing and chill music.
I'm a huge fan of Dungeon Synth. Its my main genre right now with Drum and Bass. My background journey before was mainly Metal and Goth (Type O Negative, Sisters of Mercy, Drab Majesty) to Black Metal (Dimmu) and Industrial (Front Line Assembly, Leather Strip, Wumpscut etc), Classical. I think I heard Summoning and really liked it which I guess was gateway drugs for Dungeon Synth. I'm really loving exploring the options. Really enjoying Malfet, Mythscribe, Morketsvind
Fief is my favorite dungeon synth artist.
Probably the most musical sub-genre that Coolea has touched with his filthy goblin hands
I had no idea what Dungeonsynth was or why youtube kept recommending it to me, but I do really enjoy it. Now I understand why
Like this comment if you just discovered dungeon synth from the social media videos of the little gnome wizard with the green blanket wandering around in malls
Can you do a video on Extratone. I think the genre is insane and would make an interesting video. I love your content!
i do enjoy your "slowed down" approach on this vid
Dungeon Synth is good music to Skyrim to.
The fact that the song that sampled Burzum features Kanye West is the most hilarious thing i learned after i looked into it when i watched this video
Any video that gives my man Mortiis a signal boost gets all the good stuff for the Algorithm. Also a good and funny video btw
Mortiis played at enchanted forest in oregon, a supposedly haunted and fuckibg weird as hell theme park. I used to go there as a kid and I was pissed that I didn't get to see the goblins play there, as it sold out in like less than a week. Just fun mortiis stuff
In germany Das Ich (the me in english) count as neue deutsche Todeskunst (new german death art), the predecessor of german goth. I love that band. Good to know I already listen to a genre I never heard of.
Takes me back to the crpgs I used to play as a kid
Yes my boy finally made dungeon synth video!!! Let's go!!!
Defend 🔫 Hot Dog Synth
man i love your videos, and i am definitely going to check out your song, keep doing what you do
Lord Lovidicus mentioned, common goated Coolea video. God I love Dungeon Synth.
For anyone who wants to hear really nice calm dungeon synth, i would really recommend "Weress"
The best part about the dungeon synth is the DYI. Its like punk. Anyone can do it! You dont even need to know how to play the synth. Just do it all in the computer!
The worst part about DS is that this ease of entry makes the genre littered with realy shitty and/or bland releases.
I mean. If the creators have fun thats all that matters realy. But as a person who WANTS to enjoy DS its just so damn hard to find good releases among the chaff 😅
I was craving for the norwegian prison joke
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes.
Dungeon Synth has been my reading music of choice, had no clue of it's history or realize it's relation to metal, interesting stuff. Also, I adore the dungeon synth cover art.
Power electronics/ harsh noise next or no balls 😂
Deathpile - GR is nuts
The Gucci Mane song Pussy Print was only rapped on by Gucci Mane. Kanye West produced it and sampled Burzum. We all know what a huge part of the national NSBM community Kanye is so Varg was actually probably pretty stoked.
We need "An Ignorant Guide to Neofolk" NOW!
Jo, it feels like you are going for a laid-back and slower edeting style in this video (makes sense with ambient synth music). I really like this more mature pacing.
9:03 little did he know
Cool stuff my friend, good luck in your future releases!
Thank you, now i can do my synth monstrosities with medieval dead goblins on the album art
I always loved the synth interludes/outros from Black Metal albums or Atmospheric Black Metal songs with synths/keyboards like Eldamar, so maybe I was a Dungeon Synth enjoyer before it was cool
DS has been my comfort music for years. There's no other genre that evokes certain feelings and fuels imagination.
we are in DESPERATE need of a post-rock video and by we i mean me but still
Oh cool, I'm in this video.
Thanks for checking out the dungeon, friends!
⚔🎹💀🎹⚔
Ignorant Guide to Groove Metal could be cool
I seen mortiis supporting mayhem a few years ago, live it’s actually pretty good, puts you in a kind of trance, I couldn’t sit down and listen too it tho
Norwegian prison is just a hotel room with the rules of a strict parent.
I can't believe he name dropped Lord Lovidicus. He was my best friend in high school and I even did the vocals on one of his tracks, Gorgoroth on the album Daulu Burz-ishi. I was there since his first album, they were all created in his sweaty smelly basement. We also had a Black Metal band called Black Tyrants. Wow I cant believe how spot on this video was.
Dungeon Synth is just the old RuneScape soundtrack. I like it
The amount of varg posting here is despicibly cool
I do enjoy me some dark ambient shit, electronica is one of my most listened to stuff.
Babe wake up new coolea
The second I thought no way this dude has dungeon synth video .....
Best music genre
Mortiis...that's a name I haven't thought about in a long time. I always thought that it was weird how a guy connected to the Norwegian black metal scene was making electronic metal.
we synthing w this one
Black metal and dungeon synth. 2 things i love very much
I feel like the main influence missed in this video is all of the fantasy games of the 80s, which naturally sported synthesiser/8-bit music. It is the single biggest contributor to the genre, and way more important to talk about than black metal.
Got a lot of laughs out of this. Bloody brilliant! Some good info in here too
Your channel pic is a Furby. You are automatically awesome.
I remember back in 97 discovering Mortiis. Was literally an eye opening experience for me, going into something totally different in comparison with the rest of the black metal bands of that era.
amazing upgrade in the editing!
I play it when I'm running Old School Essentials. Fogweaver and Guild of Lore are my favorites
Thanks for this video. Turns out I’m exactly this kind of music’s target audience it is good vibing out music because brake core is not cutting it
Your music sounds like a faze intro song from 2015
Finally dungeon synth 🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️🍄🍄
I'm a nolife black metal guy, with a DS side project. I love Dungeon Synth. Thanks for covering it.
heh
Your song slaps. Love the atmosphere and movement in it.
