Well if just the prologue is over 97 minutes, I can't wait for the whole thing!

Dropping by to say thank you to everyone who has purchased this collection so far on CD, Digital or Tape! We'll be working to release some of the material from this collection on vinyl in the future too. Up next we have releases from Morketsvind, Mournful Moon, ForestTemple/ShadowDungeon, and some older title represses too! Regards!

Since Jeremy Soule probably isn’t going to be composing the next Elder Scrolls game soundtrack, can we get this band, Old Tower, Old Sorcery, Caladan Brood, and Summoning to be the soundtrack??

[pablosesquivel]

Why should i pay for a spotify subscription if they sponsor crappy authors and also they have none of the goody goodness of this stuff? Love Thangorodrim! I toast for a long life filled with many more releases!

[CrystalDiglett]

Youtube recommending random bands to me is what I imagine it was like to buy records/cds when trying to find new music where you just pick the coolest album art and see if its good.

[hellothere]

I like how the songs in this album each have a pairing
Narchost - Carchost: the two guard towers in the towers of the teeth
Angband - Ard Galen: Ard Galen was a complete contrast to the thangorodrim until Dagor Bragollach, with green fields
Ringil - Grond: Ringil was the sword of Fingolfin, the high king of the Noldor who challenged Morgoth. Morgoth had, you guessed it, grond
Isenmouthe - Ered Lithui: Pass in the northwestern Mordor, and Ered Lithui the mountains of ash that protected the land
Numenor - Felling of Nimloth: Numenoreans felled Nimloth shortly before the sinking of their high civilization and the utter doom that awaited most of the dunedain

Great Tolkien inspired dungeon synth. So epic and so tragic sounds of ancient legend.

[stoaeterna]

One of the best dungeon synth artists!

[old-manparker]

Great album! Wonderful cover art!
Tolkien inspired, perhaps. 
Really fantastic music. It has transported me backwards in time to the late 70's / early 80's... back to my days @ university, playing D&D on the weekends, going to the renaissance festival, and day dreaming about hobbits and dragons.

The dragon art work reminds me of the original artwork that was in the hard-back book version of "The Hobbit" - The cover had a whimsical drawing of Bilbo's round door, and inside there was the map. Bilbo was to have supposedly drawn the map of his adventurous trip "There and back again". I think all was drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien.

I rarely ever like any video on this site but this deserved a like for a reminder of some of the best and most captivating feelings of immersion I have had for a long time. It's like being transported into a fantasy realm and experiencing all of the joys, trials, tribulations and wonder through the soundscape.

Many of the dungeon synth works evoke this feeling and are timeless pieces of masterwork craft.

[lazarusblackwell]

Lets go on an adventure!

Perfect adventure music man!

THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD!

[Hirohitorunguard]

Atop the earthen peaks, scorched black by aeons of fiery breath, circled by fearsome beasts of mythology. It is there where legends are birthed and heroes forged.

Prophecy foretold; when the land rivets with strive and struggle the primordial peaks shall echo, and from there shall rise one born of the wyverns and the dragons.

[yevgenyleontyev]

Brilliant! So minimalist yet conveying so much thought and energy.

[albertcapley]

This masterpiece just showed up in my feed, and I clicked on it for the artwork and reference to Melikor... But it blew my socks off! I don't know what I was expecting, this is the first time I've been exposed to "dungeonsynth", but listening honestly just inspired me to have my next rpg group involve Angmar heavily in their adventures... The atmosphere is perfection, thank you for making such wonderful art!

[unknownfilmmaker]

I’m really digging both the sound and the cover art.

[内田ガネーシュ]

over an hours in character creation and another in the prologue --RPGs vibes.

[Mondarín-Records]

I sometimes wonder what age the average DS fan is...

Perfect music for thinking about castles and mighty warriors.

[Hirohitorunguard]

For long the land has remained peaceful; without strife, without turmoil. Then the earthen peaks rumbled and from this rumble was born fearsome beasts of fiery scales, who then descended upon all the land. One by one the kingdoms fell as they were reduced to smoulders, for nothing could hinder or halt the great dragons in their campaign of destruction. Eventually the peaks rumbled once more, this time letting out a terrifying roar as ashen miasma filled the now reddened skies, while burning rock rained down. After the earthen peaks had settled, after the lands had been scorched black, after the ash had settled; all that remained was a barren world, irritated by the red burning sky.

Yet from this unprecedented calamity would rise a single man, one born of the same scale as the dragons themselves, to bear the flame, the very flame that brought ruin, and turn it into the instrument of prophecy. Soon kings and warriors were heralded from all corners of the world to praise the new flame, in a newborn defiance against the tyrant rule of the dragons. This defiance came to be called: The Everflame pact.

Now it is time for the brave and the adventurous to rise to the occasion and band with the Everflame pact; so arise, hero, seeker of justice, arise, adventurer, seeker of new land, arise soldier, seeker of treasure. Arise! Arise all to the great mission to defy the draconic order!

I'm taking a break from long, perilous journeys and hanging out at the Green Dragon Pub for awhile 🍻

One of the best releases by OoS this year. Thangorodrim is the master!
