Forsaken Keep - The Wonders of Urth and Sky [Dungeon Synth] (Tape - Voices of the Ainur - 2024)

Forsaken Keep’s quixotic approach to Dungeon Synth song writing is simply mesmerizing. ‘The Wonders Of Urth And Sky’ is an astonishing collection of Medieval canticles that emits a blend of radiant synths and rhythmic percussion resulting in a suffused assemblage of modulations that are both dark and introspective. With eerie ambient textures that flow across the entire album, these tracks are bold with excellent sound sequences with a touch of mournful modulations that are extremely soothing. “The Chatelaine Thecla” and “The Shadow Of A Torturer” firmly represent the overarching sound design of this triumphant endeavor.
