Style: Epic dungeon synth
Primary Emotions/Themes: To war! We march to war!
Thoughts: I knew that getting into Elffor would be a problem. After hearing Arkaik earlier this year I knew I had to look into more of their discography. The inclusion of the Dra Sad trilogy to my collection is nothing short of an exceptional addition to my collection. This is among some of the best dungeon synth I have ever heard.
The thing that sets Elffor's music apart from much of their peers is the scope of the music. It's not just dungeon synth, this is EPIC dungeon synth. The music stretches far beyond the mere reaches of my speakers, it traverses lands that have never yet ben explored, it recounts tales long forgotten, and brings back memories that were lost to time.
The execution of this music is simple, but it's through this simplicity that the music reveals it's true character. It's easy to let eons of lost memories wash over me as the music whisks me away with its gigantic soundscapes. It lets me recount the great struggles of war as the battle horns rally the troops for an assault. It is all of these things, and more.
This is the first of the trilogy, and it acts as a phenomenal introduction to all things Dra Sad. This is the gateway into another realm, I stand upon the precipice... and I choose to wander in.
