Der Letzte Koenig | Der Erste Koenig | An Old Sad Ghost

Der Letzte Koenig | Der Erste Koenig

by An Old Sad Ghost

supported by

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.

Tim Rowland's talent as a musical craftsman is undeniable, and he demonstrates it again here. This album is like a great feast of everything we can love about dungeon synth: unique tones, more ambient and airy moments, dark atmospheres which oscillate towards the light, compositions which allow the escape of the spirit and stimulation of the imagination. Real magic! Guillaume P. Trépanier
