Duke of Germany 💫
🎵 🏰 Tunes I like
I didn't know "Dungeon Synth" was a thing! Now I know. 😊
I am really enjoying the songs of "Rogue Radio" / "Louise Sugden"! 🧡
Two highlights for me:
✨ "Waltz of the Goblin King"
✨ "Press Start"

@duke_of_germany I have some thoughts and know some artists!
But first, I hardly ever get to drop my Soundcloud, so forgive me but:
Duke of Germany 💫
Tagging @HauntedOwlbear :
Maybe you like it as well, and maybe you even know other artists that go roughly in this direction. 🙂
13 barn owls in a trenchcoat
@duke_of_germany Yeah! These are really old, but they're the ones I actually recorded off the SC-55 and put online.
I also own numerous To Be (Re/)Released directories. :D
Duke of Germany 💫
Wait, just so I understand it correctly: are you the author of these songs?

@duke_of_germany
Thank you!
I'll send you over the files of those for your collection when I'm at the computer :)
Duke of Germany 💫
Wow, this is really impressive! 😮
When I thought about asking you, I was just hoping you had some tips, I did not expect you to have your own compositions!
I love your songs!
Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Here you go, the same three tracks from my Soundcloud if you'd like them for offline playing :)

@duke_of_germany I have more dungeon synth recs that aren't be this time!
Jenn Taiga - Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations
https://jenntaiga.bandcamp.com/
Jenn is amazing, and you can sometimes catch her live performance streams on Twitch.
Vaelastrasz - To Desire An Endless Dream
https://vaelastrasz.bandcamp.com/album/to-desire-an-endless-dream
Yes, that's a Warcraft reference. Vaelastrasz makes sophisticated dungeon synth with an old school game music heart, and plays live more than most exponents of the genre.
Nagelsforst - Crystalline Heart of the Mountain
https://nagelsforst.bandcamp.com/track/crystalline-heart-of-the-mountain
This Neglelsforst track is pure dungeon synth, other EPs include some additional black metal elements but are still DS dominant.
ANCST - Desolation
https://angstnoise.bandcamp.com/album/desolation
More dark ambient than dungeon synth, but the specific vibes are similar.
ANCST also makes black metal, crust, and metalcore, so vary quite a lot from album to album!
13 barn owls in a trenchcoat
Hmm. Compleyely the opposite in that it's fully analogue to dungeon synth's digital spirit but: Let me know if this vibe also works for you in that spirit because if so I may have more recommendations!
Wardruna - Fehu (Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6RCY-G-NlA
Duke of Germany 💫
Thank you so much, for the recommendations, and especially for your own tracks! 💜
This musical genre pushes the right buttons for me, it somehow gets me into a "board gaming" mood!
(I created a Soundcloud account to drop you a follow, so I hopefully will catch your new releases!)

They describe themselves as Norse folk, which they're pretty faithful exponents of.
In broader terms, I'd put them under the neofolk umbrella, which I don't blame them for rejecting, as it's a historically problematic genre which had a Nazi problem early on (like some parts of early black metal and dungeon synth), although the overwhelming direction of the genre now feels more hospitable to anti-fascists than the opposite (as one would hope), thanks to the work of organisations like A Blaze Ansuz (https://antifascistneofolk.com/).
Duke of Germany 💫
Oh, wow, yes, it is quite different! But also very interesting! 🙂 (I think I haven't really heard much in this direction, I wouldn't even know how to name the genre.)
