Entry 1443 - Ghoest - In Eternal Sleep


Style: Slow marching dungeon synth

Primary Emotions/Themes: In the depths of the darkness there is nothing but hopelessness and solitude

Thoughts: Dark Dungeon Doom.

Dark - the absence of light

Dungeon - a place of suffering and torture, a place without joy buried deep in the bowels of the earth

Doom - an unavoidable fate, a miserable end

I don't think that a more accurate self described musical genre exists. Ghoest describes themselves as dark dungeon doom, and after listening to thirty seconds of In Eternal Sleep this is the most accurate description of this music that I can ever fathom.

These synths are so dreary, dank, and miserable that they feel like my soul is being weighed down simply by absorbing the audio waves. The marching of the bass and snare drum ad nausium brings the music ever closer to its doom. This is the absolute nadir of the dungeon synth genre in the best way possible. This is the deepest dungeon, the darkest crevice, and the unavoidable doom. Essential.
