The Acolytes of Erebos

DungeonPunkXoX What a wonderful release this is. incredibly evocative, somewhat orchestral, and enchanting all the way through. This will be getting repeated spins today and many more in the future.

My only complaint is that it isn't longer! Favorite track: Memories of the Light.

DANIIEL A fantastic journey of world building and myth - the songs show a varied range of emotions and stylings, often of a much grander composition - and some in major key - than is normally heard in dungeon synth. Favorite track: Erebos' Promise.

The Lone Sentinel Hard to pick a favorite but this is a phenomenal tome of ancient dungeon spells

olfolfsn Actually I didn't expect such an epic compositions when I heard the mellow two first songs! It definitely has a soundtrack feeling and also soundtrack qualities - I can easily imagine it in a game or a movie. Great job!

dreadwoodprophecies Really hard to pick just one favorite track from this awesome album. Jumps from emotion to emotion & place to place, painting a picture of a very complex, fully-realized fantasy world. Favorite track: New Ways and the Old.

Life is Bloody Pink Grabbed an offered download code - and got a very nice surprise; how can anybody do something like this in one day…?
Put on some earphones, and enjoy the travel through forgotten lands.. Favorite track: Damnation / Absolution?.

about

Artwork by Nuno Lourenço. Check out his work here: www.facebook.com/PreposterousArtForTheDifferenciated

This is an early release. Started this around noon today and have been working on this almost the whole day. I will probably change some stuff (composition-wise) and work on the sound a bit more, adjusting the volume and such...

"The acolytes live in the Folóï oak forest where they devote their lives to serving Nature’s spirits.

When the forest is threatened by outsiders, they are swayed by the power and allure of Erebos, the God of darkness and shadow, who promises to protect them and their way of life.

In exchange for their devotion, Erebos grants them more power but over time their spirits and even the forest around them — the very thing they seek to preserve — are corrupted by his malice.

They hold onto their memories of the bright spirits and their lost harmony with nature.

They long for their old ways but are trapped in Erebos' hold... forever?"

Majestic Opus of blackened doomed brilliance, is like admiring all those darkened details that makes appealing a beautiful painting as we entail the emotional apprehension of the artist as he drives his musical brush to create a masterpiece worthy of the muse that dwelves in the pitch-black chasms of his psyche. A marvelous tale in one long enfusive play.🤘🏼🔥 josedenoche

SPLITting Headache (thunderclap side)
by Salqiu & Sjálfsmorð af Gáleysi

supported by 63 fans who also own “The Acolytes of Erebos”

Speaking of a piece of music as 'planned out' more often than not has a negative connotation. Not here though. Both Salqiu's and SaG's pieces have been crafted with meticulous care, like piecing together a 1500 parts puzzle picturing an impenetrable blackness - 666 seconds per song, two per artist, without a single second feeling like bloat or the ending coming prematurely? Casually showcasing songwriting prowess of the highest calibre: haunting, controlled and memorable chaos. Pure class. David Fischer
