Echoing marching drumbeats with chiming tolls of synthesized atmosphere. This tracks resonates with a gleeming stream of antagonizing prelude to bear witness to what comes ahead as the sun rises to a emergent religious cataclism.
Deep-reaching and dense darkness encroaches and extends its tendrils out of every crack of the weathered stone walls. The compositions are very simple but sound extraordinarily oppressive and immersive. Like the seemingly physical weight of fear and distress while walking through the unknown. The slow drums complete the foreboding and funereal aura. MarsDragoner
Bloody Hell. This is good stuff. Otherworldly drones on an epic stereo scale, with some truly beautiful moments of Satie-esque piano sequences. I love the percussion in 'Entering the Realm of Dis Pater' - as if the drum is broadcasting from another galaxy. Some soaring Blade Runner synth swells throughout also, but done in such a way that this is a very unique album with influences but ultimately this is 'Idylls' own unique sound and experience. Look forward to checking more out. vuhvoidloves
Cryptadia features a surprisingly wide range of DS styles from low-fi to symphonic - and therefore is a more modern approach to the genre. One or the other piece reminds me on the mid-80s works of Joe Hisaishi. Boa Thorium
Great melodies, great changes, great mixing, and great mastering. A work of art on all levels. One of the more beautiful dungeon synth albums I’ve listened to. dreadwoodprophecies
