Entry 1341 - Vanishing Amulet - Nocturnal Heritage


Style: classic dungeon synth

Primary Emotions/Themes: the very essence of what dungeon synth is about.

Thoughts: Within the first five notes of Nocturnal Heritage I knew I was going to love it. The production here is so incredibly befitting of the dungeon synth genre, that I can think of almost no other album that has as good of a sound as this one. 

There are only five songs on here, and my god I wish I had more. Each one of these things is a treasure. The slight vibrato on all of the instruments gives it a cheesy old school horror movie sound to it. That paired with simple yet incredibly effective melodies makes this just about the perfect dungeon synth album. 

Everyone looking to get into dungeon synth needs to use this EP as a litmus test. If you like this then you are good to go with the genre, if you do not then maybe you need to look elsewhere. In all honesty though, if you don't like this I'm not sure if you like good music in general.
