i'm sad, stoned, and lonely. somebody talk about dungeon synth with me.
DS is often associated with occultism, meditation and other ritualistic practices. do you think that dungeon synth actually has magical properties?
what's your favorite release from this year? pic related is mine. does modern dungeon synth have a future? or is it doomed to live in the shadow of the 90s?

don't think that dungeon synth has a future, wasn't even aware that there were current releases, but here's one i've kept with me since my interest in black metal when i was younger: youtube.com
as far as magical properties go, i think that music in general can carry some kind of aura about it that lies dependent on how it was made, its intentions, genre, etc. .. even if it's just the ability to evoke a mood, its the same as any other artistic medium in that it can take you somewhere else mentally, which is a good definition of magical in the common sense.
for me, dungeon synth creates a very strong feeling of wanting to go somewhere that doesn't physically exist and is almost nostalgic to places i have never been
What is this album called?
yeah man that lamentation album is powerful
>for me, dungeon synth creates a very strong feeling of wanting to go somewhere that doesn't physically exist and is almost nostalgic to places i have never been
totally agree. i think it has a strong connection to fantasy and escapism so the idea of going to a different realm makes sense.
it's not an album unfortunately, just a piece of artwork i used to bump the thread.

Ever play runescape?
Dungeon Synth is alive today and it will probably fade away as a meme but it will be around. It is also very much dead today since Mortiis stopped doing Dungeon Synth and started doing Bad Goth instead (also there is good Goth like Sisters of mercy and so on).
Also I think it is about to blow since there is bands like Chaucerian Myth who make it all NOT about trolls and upside down crosses. Also Blackmetal and all its subgenres is about war against the christian values of europe and the pride of the white nordic population and since there is all these hipsters doing blackmetal and dungeon synth saying they like Burzum but not the political views of Varg it is about to break off. I think this is good. it is not controversial battling the Christian values today. rather the controversial thing to do is to go with Christ.
Also there is so many interesting artist coming up today with the Dungeon Synth 8-bit music and dungeon noise and all that so there is a Dungeon Synth revolution going on. i think that is a good thing.
I would like to recommend reading tthe DS articles on ArchaicTriad.com if you are feeling down. Also how can DS die off then you have Fief, Moaning Shadows and all those?
And there is one more thing. I think that when Erang has made is last album he would have done as many as Muzlimgause did and there is a long time left until that day.
