Exploring Dungeon Synth - Mourning and The valley of the forgotten secrets.
from Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews · host Ross Payton, Birk McBirkinson
Dungeon Synth is a genre that presents a unique blend of aesthetics by combining the fantastical themes of role-playing games with the moodiness and storytelling of dark ambient. In this episode, Ross and Birk listen to two albums from two very different periods in the history of Dungeon Synth and explore how the genre has evolved from its roots in black metal and 90's synths to a more nostalgic chip tune approach rooted in a love of 8- and 16-bit video games.
