I'm glad you like it Ayloss, it has been a challenge for me to make this album, but at same time it has been a very enjoyable journey. I'm very pleased with how the community has supported it despite not being a pure DS album but rather a tribute to one of the main influences of the genre. Now is time to return to darker sounds like Dungeons of Despair and The Frozen Moor of Your Memories. Regards!

This is the second time I collaborate with Dungeon Synth Cult Compilation. This year is about covers of DS and non-DS bands and artists. A great shared effort between 41 projects! I believe this is the crowdest compilation until now, and quality is really high. I've selected the song Northern Winds from Hardangervidda I album (2002) by Ildjardn and Nidhogg. This is an album about a norwegian national park, but all of its tracks could be extrapolated to an universal ambient / dark ambient context. I really love the whole album, it has a cold gentleness and a strong link with the uncanny facets of Nature. But I'm beating around the bush, here is the link: dungeonsynthcult.bandcamp.com/album/compilation-iv

Today I release a new album, Doors to the Battlefields of Ertbe, a LP full of war and magic themes, and strong influences from soundtracks of 80s Sword and Sorcery films like Conan I & II, Excalibur, Dragonslayer, Kull, Red Sonja, Willow and so on. Hope you like it. castlezagyx.bandcamp.com/album/doors-to-the-battlefields-of-ertbe [/div][/quote] I had many many very pleasant repeated listening of your ^^^ recent album last few days, great stuff man, congratulations!! I got very very strong Basil Poledouris vibes which is only a great thing, I felt the music trying to actually tell a story, and the album got even stronger as it progressed, strong stuff, totally recommended!!

Many thanks mate... you are totally right, the entire album is an attempt to link Dungeon Synth with the orquestral arrangments of soundtracks... it isn't a purely DS album, but I hope it works as a bridge between the two worlds and as a tribute to the entire DS community.
An anecdote: I took the name "Ertbe" because it appears in the classic S&S novel The Worm Ouroboros by Eric RΓΌcker Eddison to name Middle-Earth (I think it's an old Saxon term)..., the known world, the lands of the men (demons, warlocks, goblins, pixies, imps, etc.).

Time to update the project log! Here's my new Castle Zagyx album: Oath of the Dark Chivalry. This time we travel to the vast lands of Ertbe again and observe its chivalric orders; but I've taken a different approach to 'DttBoE...'. I've picked up a single synth/ROMpler from the early 2000s and recorded 99% of the sounds with it. Expect inside some Enya/Vangelis/DcD/Artesia/4AD vibes and some Lovecraft's Dreamlands mood and themes. Hope you enjoy. castlezagyx.bandcamp.com/album/oath-of-the-dark-chivalry

Hello wormius, I really apreciate your words. I put a lot of emotional effort into that song, I'm so glad someone connected with it.
ATB.
