^Don't know if you mean stuff that's similar to what you listed out or not. If so I'm not familiar with any of those artists (except for F. Kingdom, and not much of his stuff sounds alike! Especially with his last collaboration album that he dropped the other month, it doesn't sound like him at all!) so I couldn't say. If you mean just recommendations in general, the Shadow Dungeon and Morketsvind that I suggested earlier (I'd since gotten the Saga of Blood Lands cd of Morketsvind's after I posted as well). Also, several of Haudh's releases, such as Der Erlkonig, "To the Grave" (very creepy!), "A Flickering Flame" and the two releases he did as Nahm Tök.

^ True that FK has quite a varied sound from one release to another. I still think that to this day, Beyond Astral Glares on the Walking the Paths of Old demo is one of my favorite tracks by FK.
Thank you for the Haudh recommendation! I am listening to Der Erlkonig and it is fantastic. Great old school, dark feeling overall.
I recently found a demo tape by Æva, it is self titled and a fantastic mysterious dark ambient project.

^ True that FK has quite a varied sound from one release to another. Yep. Nothing on Northern Spirits Call from Afar sounds alike. Probably the same with the Ancient Winter's Domain release. I've only listened to it a few times since I had to make sure I wanted it in the first place and then listened to it again once I got it to make sure the disc was ok so I can't really comment any more than that. I'm sure it'll go into massive rotation once I start playing the cd I got before that one (which was Candlemass)! I still think that to this day, Beyond Astral Glares on the Walking the Paths of Old demo is one of my favorite tracks by FK. Yeah, that's a good closer to my cd, especially since it's more space, rather than dungeon synth. Plus not *only* is it a really good track, I imagine it'd also sound good if you replaced the main keyboard riff with an acoustic guitar. Thank you for the Haudh recommendation! I am listening to Der Erlkonig and it is fantastic. Great old school, dark feeling overall. Glad you like it! I don't know why hardly anyone has bought his stuff, he only played at the first Northeast Dungeon Siege I ever saw but also on one of the Dungeon Skirmish mini-shows as well. Only a few hundred people saw him play! I recently found a demo tape by Æva, it is self titled and a fantastic mysterious dark ambient project. Sounds cool, especially since dungeon synth and dark ambient can be interchangeable at times (which I probably have to explain to, oh, NO ONE on here).

All true! Besides the ancient sounds and atmosphere, something I love about the first Forlorn Kingdom demo tape are the direct references to Visions of Niften's release Enthroned in Forests Afar and other Voldsom releases. The most obvious reference being 'dark forest synth' printed inside both tapes' J cards.
I'm looking forward to the Dungeon Siege this year, it will be my first time going.
