Dungeon Synth - Tumblr Posts
Happy Bandcamp Friday!
Just treated myself to Of Valleys and Mountains, by Pull Down The Sun, and the entire Diplodocus back catalogue.
Of Valleys and Mountains is great slice of Aotearoan metal from way back in 2020, though I only discovered Pull Down the Sun in 2021 and listened to the album in 2022. The band probably sits somewhere in the realms of post-metal, and the album is delightfully heavy, and has a real groove to it. Definitely one of my new favourites :)
Diplodocus, on the other hand, was much more of an impulse buy, in fact I only heard them for the first time yesterday. It's dungeon synth, by way of dinosaurs. So, dino synth. :D
It's heavy synth ambient music with shades of DIY black metal. Feels like this is going to get a lot of rotation when I'm playing prehistoric-themed tabletop games. It's honestly kinda delightful.
Amazing, it's always the passing snippets. Save room themes, little credit roll tracks, or in this case end game screens. You want more, but it'd probably overstay it's welcome.
Making my first tumblr post in forever :)
Edit: thanks for the notes guys! I didn’t realize so many tumblroids agreed :) also 90+ notes is crazy for my first post in 5 years

Vampyric Dungeon Synth beautifully melding ominous baroque pianos with the bombast of Mortiis. Aspects such as the bells provide a rich atmosphere, generating a mood that is both fearsome and somber.
