RIP old thread
You will be missed.
Andrew Hill
any DS for this doggo?
Evan Long
What are some good vintage DS soundfonts? Something with a similar sound to this: hedgewizard.bandcamp.com
James Flores
what are these threads
Ryan Brown
what is some of the most lo-fi, minimal, cassette-sounding (if that makes any sense) dungeon synth you guys know of?
a recurring thread for sharing and discussing dungeon synth, a genre derived from black metal that sounds like the medieval music you'd hear in oldschool rpgs
Jaxson Sanchez
Probably pic related
Ian Lewis
...
Oliver Wood
Essential dungeon synth movies:
Nosferatu (both)
Legend
Häxan
The Keep
Die Nibelungen
Dark Crystal
Grayson Wright
This is some good minimalist DS. idk if it's lo-fi enough for you.
Juan Torres
This guy just used the default windows shit with Guitar Pro, I'm pretty sure. I've spoken with him before.
Fucking love this album.
Justin Scott
I like Nekrophile Rekords and Sigillum S and Hunting Lodge and I have copies of Haxan and Dark Crystal and what is this cool-looking-(sounding?) genre
Jaxon Lewis
Can you still upload images that have .rars embedded in them to Sup Forums?
Carson Collins
it's for black metal fags
Adam Murphy
Every single minimalist lo-fi dungeon synth release from this point on will have to live in the shadows of Hedge Wizard. The man absolutely killed that type of DS
Kevin Nguyen
Are you sure? It sounds a lot more lo-fi and analog than GS Wavetable.
David Rogers
it's DnD nerd shit
nothing glamorous about it
Jeremiah Evans
Just came out today, was well received on the DS facebook group. It's pretty good background music seeing as it's ambient.
Ryder Evans
>go to his BC
>crayon-colored album art
>those fucking OSCILLATOR INTERFERENCES
does it get any more kvlt than this?
Speaking of kvlt, check out this Fomorian.
It's the dude who inspired the Fimir, who are undoubtedly the most kvlt shit to ever come out of a fantasy universe.
And they're getting an "update" soon as Fimirach. The first miniatures don't look very good (ugly patterns on the armor) but the daemonfriends will at least look cool.
Wyatt Miller
here's a fimir
I'm sure you all know about the fimir
if you don't you must exit the dungeon
Connor Lee
Shit you're not wrong.
I like Lord Lovidicus and guys like him but Hedge Wizard fucking transcends the style.
Christopher Moore
Only close second to Hedge Wizard imo is Lord Caduceus Xul. It's also hard to compare since Caduceus released this tape in Lithuania in 1995 so it's not like he had a choice of being lo-fi.
Parker Nelson
rec me some DS with excellent toot-toots
Dominic Rodriguez
Looked up our conversation. He composed in guitarpro with GS Wavetable, and then played the audio through his amp and recorded with a microphone. That's where his lo-fi sound comes from. Real clever.
Alexander Cruz
new to music theory
what's the difference between medieval dorian mode and modern dorian mode?
aren't they both regular diatonic scales?
Jayden Reed
What's a good soundfont player for Ableton?
Landon Brown
Nevermind, sampler works fine. Where does one even get soundfonts these days?
Matthew Ortiz
I can get you some good ones. Any way I can contact you?
Liam Barnes
bump
Jacob Jenkins
Parker Jackson

Made a dungeon synth album. I hope some of you find it enjoyable.
Joshua Campbell
stumpbeard at geemail. Appreciate it, dude. Don't sign me up for horse porn unless it's kvlt.
Mason Young
Very enjoyable user, what gear do you use? If physical hardware isn't your thing, what soundfont?
Jordan Diaz
how do i into dungeon synth?
anyone got a chart?
Jack Stewart
Here's a flowchart I made the other day.
I wouldn't mind having these threads all year; there's nothing else this comfy on Sup Forums.
Mason Gutierrez
really agree with this except I feel like Forgotten Pathways should be somewhere on the left side as another option coming from Hedge Wizard.
Jose Harris
Most of the sounds were created with default Ableton tension instruments.
Alexander Richardson
thanks, friendo. i'll give it a look!
Colton Cooper
No Mortiis on here?
Gabriel Williams
Even Burzum needs a spot on here.
Colton Rodriguez
Wasn't dungeon synth kosher for /nbbmn/? Is this /nbbmn/ hardcore edition?
Blake Thomas
Feeling emotional and just want to say I love you guys. DS is a great ass community of people just sharing their projects that will never get any attention and it just feels so for the love of the genre. You guys rock.
Samuel Flores
I get that feeling too, it's such an odd community in that it only really attracts pretty dedicated fans. For how small of a genre it is it has such a surprising amount of content out there.
Robert Diaz
It's that minus nsbm arguments so it's better imho
Chase Anderson
Is there any NS Dungeon synth?
Matthew Martin
the first Dungeon Synth thread to ever live long enough to die of the bump limit
Lincoln Baker
I like this old Swedish collection from some past decade
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/awe32/soundfonts/
Cameron Flores
Probably but it wouldn't make sense considering it has such a fantasy and/or medieval theme and sound.
Aaron Scott
These would have gotten on there, but I ran out of space. They're on the essentials charts though.
Logan Turner
Hopefully we can make this the second.
Oliver Gutierrez
Cain - Child of Cold (1999)
Bentley Edwards
My personal favorite DS album
I spend a lot of time up north in the woods in a cottage listening to DS and BM in the past month.
Brody Lee
This album has been getting a lot of attention recently.
Isaiah Morris
Didn't Chaucerian Myth come out this year? Interesting how its already got a place in this.
Not too sure what "more epic" or "more kvlt" means though.
Chase Young
has it? I posted it once in the last thread. I'd admit the production is terrible but its a 90s DS album so its something I think we all are accepting by now.
Blake Hughes
Chaucerian Myth did just come out this year.
"More epic" means a more expansive and grand sound; "more kvlt" means a more vintage, black metal-esque sound.
Dominic Green
>tfw you have a giant folder of uncompleted DS songs.
Jayden Smith
I could swear I've seen it about four times over the past week.
Also:
>off by one
Chase Bailey
How the fuck are you all /dsd/!?
What are you all listening to?
Listening to King Crimson right now to pay my respects to Greggie. They kind of sound a bit "medieval" themselves.
Robert Young
this picture always makes me want a Mortiis Black Metal/DS themed surf album like youtube.com
actually answering your question: youtube.com
Carter Jenkins
gg guys just found this thread and this genre
10/10 gonna start downloading and listening to this shit for my gurps campaigns
Andrew Sanchez
>how the are you
Listening to DS and playing OSRS, my favorite form of escapism. No matter how bad things are, knowing I can get comfy like that is always calming. Feeling pretty lonely otherwise, probably since all I do is listen to DS and play OSRS.
>listening
Evilfeast - Wolves of Hyperborean Frost
Not exactly a full Dungeon Synth album, but the last track covers a song from Hliðskjálf.
Forgotten Pathways is incredible. One of the first DS albums I listened to that blew me away.
Landon Myers
I have a starter pack for you: mega.nz
If there's a password on that it's: fuckyeahDS
I suggest using it in conjunction with
Evan Powell
Onoskelis
The Hecate Prophecies in Your Cold Throne
Nicholas Morgan
The problem with charts for DS is that it's such a rapidly-expanding genre that almost all of these albums will be one-upped or overshadowed in the next year. This chart has too many obscure, inconsequential releases.
The best way to do an actual flowchart would be to do it by artist and stick to the classics and modern favourites (Depressive Silence, Burzum, Mortiis, Lord Lovidicus, Sequestered Keep, Erang, Forgotten Pathways, Til
Det Bergens, Lamentation, etc.
Austin Moore
Holy shit thank you
This is all so inspiring.
Joseph Moore
Most of the albums on there have been around for a few years though.
Ryder Butler
forgot link
youtube.com
Oliver Mitchell
dude they are mostly 90s albums. But I agree that there is so much DS and the greats haven't really been decided on completely yet.
I just go through RYM and youtube to find good stuff
Chase Foster
Always glad to help. Making /dsd/ a friendly and comfy community is my main goal.
Ayden Phillips
listening to this 2015 release
Carter White
Why not give the black metal thread a little bump?
Alexander Young
Because DS > BM
Grayson Howard
>tfw you know more about Dungeon Synth than wikipedia
Cameron Ortiz
You can't have one without the other.
Cooper Harris
Dungeon Synth tip of the day: Use chord inversions and lots of them!
Official artist of /dsd/: Gustave Dore
Leo Jones
This is true, it's just harder to fuck up ds. Usually if you like some of it you're going to like just about all of it.
Austin Ross
We need more Dore and More DS
Ethan Adams
one more. Do any modern editions of these books use these illustrations?
Cooper Brooks
Anyone else listen to this Vinterriket album? I was expecting some cold black metal, but instead got a modern day Dungeon Synth classic. Really worth checking out.
Joseph Lee
Hop on kid. We are going to a far distant land.
Henry Moore
some cool vst's here
Tyler Davis
The sound of 2017. Just watch as hipsters fawn over it like every other microgenre.
Logan Scott
Honestly this is my biggest fear. Although I think the whole fantasy and medieval aspect of it should be able to turn away most people who listen to music for social statues.
Dominic Morgan
Shit like Game of Thrones has normalised that. It'll happen, it always does.
Jack Campbell
inb4 "LOL RUNESCAPE MUSIC XD" when/if DS gets popular
Zachary Stewart
Normally I wouldn't care, but the dungeon synth community is so small and yet so prolific that a wave of 'trendy' imitations would tear it apart. At the moment I can explore the DS tag on bandcamp and pretty much every album on there will do something for me. I don't want that washed out by thousands of artists who don't have any deep knowledge of or love for black metal, sound collage or dark ambient.
Blake Mitchell
Thats what we call it now though
Jonathan Bailey
The Elder Scrolls - Daggerfall (1996)
Juan Hughes
Depressive Silence - Demo 1996
Oftentimes rated the greatest Dungeon Synth tape out there
Camden Torres
I'm new
where should I begin?
Nicholas Williams
...
Ayden Diaz
Lots of charts and good albums have been posted in this thread. Do you listen to black metal? Give Burzum's Dungeon synth albums a listen, as well as other essentials like Depressive Silence and Mortiis.
Jack Roberts
Absolutly incredible album, but I feel like The Darkened Empire and the split with Mightiest are often underrated as well. Almost as beautiful as Mourning.
Ayden Edwards
Last time I listened to black metal was about 6-7 years ago with behemoth (inb4 it's actually death, idk dude)
Benjamin Allen
Anyone listened to Eltamin Pegase? His second album is quite dungeony, with a more general electronic tint.
Nolan Cooper
If you've listened to the early Behemoth albums then you've already heard some good potential Dungeon Synth. Ancient from Sventevith is one of my favorite DS songs.
youtube.com
Dungeon Synth and black metal go together very well, and are often essential to one another. Some good albums that incorporate both are:
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle
Summoning - Dol Guldur
Burzum - Det Som Engang Var
Christopher Clark
selections from Coil - Horse Rotorvator (1986)
Industrial, Proto-Dungeon Synth
The Golden Section
youtube.com
The First Five Minutes after Death
youtube.com
Luke Taylor
I wouldn't call anything in Horse Rotorvator close to DS apart from maybe Golden Section.
