Style: dungeon synth
Primary Emotions/Themes: epic dungeon synth that recalls the founders of the genre
Thoughts: Sequestered Keep is a project that has been near and dear to my heart for many years now. The way that they create music is one of the best in the entire genre of dungeon synth. Not only do they know how to create excellent self contained compositions, they do it with such grace and effortlessness that they have become one of my go to artists when I want classic dungeon synth.
Rarely do their songs exceed five minutes, and that is just about the prefect length for the way that these songs are created. Melodies that are reminiscent of the high renaissance era with a melody and counter melody going at nearly all points. The real joy here is the way that the instruments dance between each other and as such move the song forward in an ever increasing spiral.
The more I get into dungeon synth the more I fall in love with the genre. It's so varied and diverse that I feel like I could listen to it endlessly. Sequestered Keep is one of many artists that I love, and they will remain so as long as I find myself enjoying this fascinating corner of music.
