Hyblon - Sikeloi [Dungeon Synth] (Tape - Voices of the Ainur - 2023)

Hyblon presents the extremely impressive offering, ‘Sikeloi’. Featuring four tracks of Medieval-inspired intonations that are produced with a particularly unique gothic flavor, these songs span an array of sounds and influences that meld together for an explosive synth-induced experience. From delightful, heartwarming soundscapes to battle-ready anthems, these songs are presented in a soundtrack format as they instigate a broad realm of dark imaginations and ancient settings. The title track, “Sikeloi” is a graceful blend of synth arrangements and Renaissance-era instrumentations, while the final track, “Inno Alla Dea Ibla” runs the gamut of bold, festive sounds. This could very well be your favorite Dungeon Synth EP of the year.
