Wound of Briccius Dark and hopeful, this album is juxtaposed with itself. To mourn the death of the old king and celebrate the crowning of the new king, all in a dungeon synth tone. I was personally caught off-guard with how old-school this album is. I love everything about this work, and anyone even remotely interested in the DS scene should check it out. An Old Sad Ghost is one of the big titans of Austrian Dungeon Synth! Favorite track: Der Erste Prinz.

Dave Aftandilian Melancholy dungeon synth meditations on the end of a beloved king's reign (Der Letzte Koenig), yet also expressing hope for the future (Der Erste Koenig). Paints very evocative visions that cultivate an impressively wide range of emotions in the listener. Some of my favorite work by this artist.

Kaptain Carbon Initially popular upon its release, An Old Sad Ghost is adorned with another round of attention to this amazing release which has not lost any of its grim luster as it still conjures images if tall spires in mist and outlines of skeletal trees. This is dungeon synth for fans of classic depressive atmospheres that is enhanced by its attention to detail. This is neoclassical dungeon synth which plays melodies from pipe organs in the distance. Favorite track: Der Letzte Koenig (Teil I-IV).

about

Depressive atmospheric dungeon synth from the Austrian invoker of melancholia. With a traditionalist sound and visceral neoclassical compositions, this darkwave influenced artist excels in dark and solemn moods. There is however also often a pale glow of hope and redemption to be found, which is especially true on 'Der Letzte Koenig | Der Erste Koenig' (transl. "The Last King | The First King"). Recorded in 2018-2019, this is yet another impressive effort, that is finally being offered on tape.
