Dungeon Synth is really good, it's basically just the opening instrumental track to a lot of black metal songs where it has that folksy, keyboard, synthy vibe. It goes back to the 80s as well.
If I can 1) confirm with the artist that there are in fact letters in the logo and 2) find a version of the logo of sufficient quality, I am willing to take up that challenge
Interestingly enough (from what I’ve heard), Dungeon Synth comes from a Scandinavian (I forget exactly what country) prisoner who made all his songs in his cell. His “Dungeon” was heavily influenced by metal early on and the sound was later taken further by people not sentenced to prison for murder. It eventually made its way into other spheres of EDM, such as what you saw in the video, as well as where I am in Dubstep and other Dark & Heavy EDM with Dungeon Minatory. Minatory (pronounced Mine-ah-tore-y) is an older super dark dubstep subgenre that takes many influences from very heavy metal. Its also rather disconnected from its parent genres community due to the questionable people around it at times and the not infrequent use of graphic Live Leak reminiscent samples and just being super distorted and sometimes quite loud too, like if Dark Noise music and Goregrind had a baby then it was raised by the deep recesses of Dubstep’s mind. Heft, a Minatory subgenre, is the same general idea but less graphic and more focused on the pure heaviness with super chunky drums (especially giant, sometimes obnoxious, pan snares) and even more blown out sound design and overall tends to be louder on average. Heft and Post-Minatory (modernized Minatory with the huge metal influence mostly reserved for off-drops and more Heft-like drums if less obnoxious) with tends to be the most common forms of Minatory (at least that I’ve noticed) nowadays. (Back on topic, sorry for the random in depth genre lesson) Dungeon minatory tends to be less graphic as well and kinda sounds like if you threw a Minatory track down a really long hallway. Super reverbed out and distant sounding in the mix. Idk why it took me all this to basically say “I’ve heard of Dungeon genres :3” but oh well
No need for apologies! I appreciate the lore dump, and it's interesting that there is a hypothetical connection between this electronic project and metal (however faint)!
The prisoner in question actually was Varg Vikernes the mastermind behind the Black Metal band Burzum, and one of the most important names in the Second Wave of Norvegian Black Metal. He was incarcerated for the murder of one of his old band members calles Euronymous. While he was in prison he only had access to a synthesizer and uses it to make a whole ambient album (dungeon synth). As Black Metal as a whole had a big focus on ambience and atmosphere other bands started to use synthesized riffs for the intros/outros of songs. After the release of Burzums Daudi Baldrs other artist began making full dungeon synth projects. So essentially this genre was created by a convicted murderer and is ideology wise a direct successor of the very controversial Black Metal genre while utilising electronic music. So this is "kinda" a metal genre in every way execpt the music.
yesssss, this was so much fun! REALLY enjoyed this. as i said, smashed it pal. you absolutely could have shared the sketch, but appreciate that you didn’t do so without asking. i don’t often send them to clients as it’s usually just for my workflow purposes but i do always enjoy seeing how it started vs how it ended hahaha. thanks again so much for doing this! 🚧💛🚧
@@Lab13 thanks for making the time to watch through it! I'll keep what you said in mind for the future... because I doubt this will be last we'll be seeing of Lab 13 in this series ;)
I was like, looking at the album art and was like, looks like dungeon synth. Scrolls to the bottom and I'm like hah, I'm right. Dungeon Synth does have its roots in Black Metal.
I think you totally should make a modified latin alphabet, but i have to suggest: try your hand at making it phonemic! There are twenty something vowel sounds in english, and we've only got 5 ish letters for them- i'd love to see someone with genuine script-designing talent make a distinguishable system for them!
I want to say I watched a video about a "phonemic" alphabet not too long ago, but I might be misremembering what it was referred to as. I can't seem to find the video, either. Regardless -- I can't say I was especially impressed with the glyphs that were included in it, so I wouldn't be opposed to trying my hand at that too :)
Im glad youtube has bee recomending smaller channels, wouldnt have searched for something like this myself but these videos are fun
Glad you're enjoying them! The algorithm does seem to have been pretty generous lately... but we'll see how long it stays that way

Legibilizing the Illegible
Someone's gotta do it 🤷♂
Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis logo is insane u should take a look at it
If I can 1) confirm with the artist that there are in fact letters in the logo and 2) find a version of the logo of sufficient quality, I am willing to take up that challenge
@@OctaveIndustriesplease that would be awesome
@@OctaveIndustriesI'm gonna be honest I don't think that logo has letters💀

I cannot unsee an "e" next to the top R.
dungeon synth is basically black metal electronic music. It is more trve cvlt than anything with the -core suffix.
