about

THE BEGINNING, BEFORE LEROICS' FALL TO EVIL...
Those who have heard my second album know that the intro was a 8-bit cover song of a Diablo II track. However, this time its different - why? Because I want everyone who enjoys this type of music/story-telling to see, hear, read, imagine the "personality" of the album so to speak. I've been working on my own short-stories revolving around the "Ravenkeeper LORE" < as I title it > and when I came up with this Tolkien/Diablo based D&D campaign when I was 16 - I didn't think I would end up coming up with an entire set of short-stories with the last few years of being a "teen" - but I did! Hence the re-imagination of my second album, don't think of it as making a sequel, to a sequel but more so an entirely new and different approach to a sequel... if that makes sense..

lyrics

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Another World Another Time
by Erang

This album, without a doubt, is the reason I create Dungeon Synth. Time and time again Erang produces absolutely incredible pieces of art, masterpieces!!! Ravenkeeper

Wandering Far
by Sequestered Keep

This record is so immersive, anytime I go on hikes (or anywhere in the forests) I always have this album on repeat. Feeling the breath of cold air, while "Dragons Circle Distant Peaks" plays along. Ravenkeeper

Echoes of Battle
by Caladan Brood

Not totally Dungeon Synth, but the BEST Atmospheric/Epic Black Metal record ever, EVER. The story it is based off is just as (if not more) immersive as this beautiful piece of art. Ravenkeeper

Mournful Melodies of Ophior's Grotto
by Dungeontroll

supported by 5 fans who also own “1. Prelude To Darkness (The Rise of King Leoric)”

What a beautiful way to send off this amazing project. I love dungeontroll a lot and I am sad to see it go. However, this album being the end is as great of a closer there could be. Probably my favorite album in dungeontroll’s immense collection. Evergreen
