The Twelve Castles, by Quest Master

The Twelve Castles

by Quest Master

supported by

klarkashton It takes a lot to stand out in the crowded dungeon synth subgenre, but Quest Master has that quality. Favorite track: The Vast Expanses of the Midland Stronghold.

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) The Twelve Castles est, de l'aveu même de Quest Master, dans la lignée de Lost Songs of Distant Realms et on retrouvera avec enchantement ce dungeon synth fantastique constitué d'échantillons sonores provenant de la Playstation première du nom. Mais il change malgré tout de stratégie avec une ambiance plus solennelle, noble. Il est intéressant de noter ici une utilisation du fondu en fin de pistes — les châteaux sont immenses voire infinis mais recèlent aussi des secrets occultes... Splendide ! Favorite track: The Secluded Manor of the Fernhollow Woodlands.

Alex Has to be one of the greatest projects ever made in this vein. The melodies throughout are beautiful, the moments of quiet ambience are balanced well by the crescendos. So cohesive yet each song feels wholly it's own. My first love when it comes to dungeon synth, blessed to have the opportunity to listen and pleased to have it on CD. Favorite track: Grand Harps of Hearthmill High Tower.
