Yawning Druid Dungeon synth the way it should be. Absolutely phenomenal album. Favorite track: Gem Hoarder Goblin.

C Rader Simply a wonderful, extremely well composed, lush and beautiful album. From the artwork to the compositions, this release is by far the most mature and ambitious Old Sorcery material to date. Closing out the album with a little nod towards Summoning and thanking Steven Erikson in the liner is an especially welcome treat. In terms of DS/Fantasy, this is hands down the best of the year. Favorite track: Starlit Belfry Tower.

Their best album yet. Full of wonderfully lush melodies. Far from the run of the mill, predicable dungeon synth albums, that seem to be countless at this stage. Favorite track: The Badger-folk Moot.

graf_midi Old Sorcery manifests yet another aural artifact. This isn't your typical concrete brick on a keyboard dungeon synth release. Each song is different from another yet keeping the world around it coherent. I can hear influences from Blade Runner (Poetry of Dreamscapes) and Coppola's Dracula (Starlit Belfry Tower). Great stuff once again! Eternal Hails Finland! Favorite track: Drink Deep The Poetry Of Dreamscapes.

Archmage Orladin This album continues in the direction of the music being more cinematic, story-telling, and less passive and ambient with an emphasis on cultivating atmosphere. Easily his most ambitious work, including from Megahammer. It's wonderful to see an artist grow, without losing where they came from. Favorite track: Voynich.
