SHADOW KNELL is a mystical, mournful, and doom-laced synth fantasy that echoes from dungeons deep and forests eternal. SHADOW KNELL’s warped and woozy orchestral arrangements serve as the murky soundtrack to untenable evocations, obscure dreams of grim grandeur, faded memories of the sublime.
I like all those things! Apparently a rising genre on Bandcamp is "dungeon synth," which is meant to recall the soundtracks of PlayStation-era FromSoft games. I really enjoy the Lunacid OST (which I can't link to because I had to extract it from YouTube like a peasant), and a lot of the work in this genre has the same feel. I'm too shitty of a casual gamer to be able to play actual dungeon crawlers, but it's nice to write and draw and edit while listening to weird ambient sewer level music.
Btw it did not escape my notice that the musicians who put together this particular album live in Philadelphia. Of course they do. This is absolutely the bgm that greets me when I step outside to go running in the morning.
