about

"Return to an otherworldly realm of adventure, discovery, and immersion. The darker second chapter of the Ancestral Sword trilogy explores the cold forests and decaying villages of a world steeped in pestilence. Yet, there is sanctity to be found in nature.

Following a similar minimal dungeon synth template as the first Ancestral Sword tape, the sequel introduces percussion and longer, moodier pieces amidst the whimsical melodies that adorned the debut. The album was once again recorded to Type II Super Avilyn high-bias formula tape on a Tascam Portastudio 414mkII. The tapes were professionally duplicated by National Audio Company." - SPR

Enchantment of the Ring

I love the mix of quiet melancholy and soaring wonder here. Listening makes me feel like I am looking up at the night sky on another world, watching impossible boreal colors dance along the horizon while tall trees sway in the keening wind, and gray-cloaked figures add their own long-dead voices to the joyful lament.

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra

Vandalorum is honestly just incredible, every album I listen to blows me away. There's such a unique sound to each track, and I think it pushes the genre in an innovative way. Somehow Vandalorum wrangles all sorts of sounds into a cohesive masterpiece and I'm always in awe. Grackle
