Style: medieval fair dungeon synth
Primary Emotions/Themes: A celebration of all that is simple and right in the world
Thoughts: Patrons! Lords! Ladies! Gentlefolk of all kind! Gather, gather round! Our good lord Fief has returned after their long trek across untold lands. Quickly now! Let us go to the town square and hear of their tales.
After what felt like an eternity Fief has finally returned with their sixth self titled opus. Their style remains one of the most unique sounds within all of dungeon synth, and with their return it goes to show just how much a staple like this is missed.
Not much has changed from the previous offerings... yet I still feel more fulfilled having listened to VI than if I had never had it in my life. The combination of medieval instruments in up tempo renaissance dance fashion graces my ears once again as the minstrel plays.
Lute mixes with flute. Flute with percussion. Percussion back to the lute. They all work in grand harmony and in utter symbiosis. Without one the other is not complete, so the trinity of Fief's music is composed.
This is the perfect music to put on when I need something... anything. Having a bad day? Listen to some Fief for some brightness to be shown in. Having a wonderful day? Why not elevate it even further? Need some music for reading? This will bring me to lands untold. Need some music for concentration, look no further than the minstrel within these forty minutes. Truly an album for all times.
