Hi there! Some of you might have already seen this but I'm about to release my first collaborative album ' KINGDOM IS OURS' Feel free to ask me any questions here if you have some. You can also follow the updates on my instagram here.Here is the list of all collaborations announced so far, the last one being announced tomorrow: - Quest Master - Fogweaver - Hole Dweller - Silù de Mordomoire - RAL from Depressive Silence - Hedge Wizard - Silvana Massa for the art - Jim Kirkwood - FIEFI'm proud and honored to have all these people gathered for this album: *The Fellowship of the Synth* What each of them brought is really unique, and I'm honest here: their contributions are truly amazing and, for some of them, outside of what they usually do. After 20 albums already released, I'm always trying to bring something new to the table and I hope you'll appreciate this new proposition.
All physical media by Out of Season, later this year.
Take care, Imagination Never Fails... and the Kingdom is Ours! ~ Erang ~ All my albums on Spotify here

Last collaborative announcement has been made and Mortiis will be with us on the new album KINGDOM IS OURS. Honored to have the father of the genre on this album!
We did a track together inspired by a lyric line of ‘Everyone Leaves’, which is probably my favorite track from him.
This track, along with its vocals, holds meaning for both of us... and hopefully for those who listen to it too.
Currently in the final stretch before the release...

We're on the final stage of mastering and the artwork is ready. I guess it will be out soon. I've started to work on this album in the last quarter of 2023.
Honestly it was some work and kind of a challenge to put it all together with 9 different people. But everyone was very cool to work with, and it was really exciting to mix all our influences together.

Earnest soul in every moment, real and yet fantastical, an enchanted reality that all of us share. I am honored and humbled that you would dedicate it to me. This community really is something special, bringing so much beauty into the world.

Thanks to all you! I can say it without false modesty since it's not a full solo album but a collaborative one: I truly love this record, really. Each track for me is special and I find them all powerful, because of the presence of each of these incredible musicians. I'm particularly pleased that we can truly recognize each one's sound on every track, while still being 'different' from their solo work. Also, here is now the direct link to the 'Ask Me Anything' on Reddit, if some of you want to join and ask questions to me or the other musicians: www.reddit.com/r/DungeonSynth/comments/1e77b65/dungeon_symposium_6_erang_guests/andrewwerdna : Well, if it was because of you and this little blog post on March 17, 2011, none of us will be there. Thanks to you ⚔️ By the way, I've uploaded on Youtube the track with Mortiis. I love all the tracks on this album from the bottom of my heart, but of course, this one has a different layer of meaning, considering my journey since 2012...

Drizzly Domain - with Quest Master
This track has several influences: from Donkey Kong country soundtrack (one of the best OST from the 90s) to the Daft Punk ('Short Circuit' famous ending with crushed bits sounds) we really blended into this one our respective sounds & worlds with many things.
Really hope you'll dig this track.
The video will be premiered this monday on my Youtube channel if you want to get notified:
