Uther - first release now available.Inspired by the moods and sounds of Dungeon Synth, 80s fantasy music and film soundtracks, and the complex spirit of the original Arthurian Legends as conveyed in classic poetry.

Definitely a promising beginning! Something seems oddly familiar about it but I can't put my finger on it...

I must say I'm really impressed. I can't really put it into words but this music just has that kind of vibe, everything works. Will be looking forward to more stuff!

I did listen to this when it was released and thought it was great. I liked production and the tunes. What makes this special is the content. This not fantasy, not even high fantasy it is a revisionistic take on legend and history.

This not fantasy, not even high fantasy it is a revisionistic take on legend and history. thank you. I agree that the Arthurian legends are very different than most other categories of myth, and legend and fantasy, even though there is some overlap. They involve the supernatural, but not explicitly the divine. They involve history but told apocryphally. So a lot can be read into them. |

This is insane. Only a bit into the second track so far, but it's fantastic. A very original sound, great percussion. Really looking forward to hearing more. Excellent work!

Great stuff. Feels like watching Excalibur on VHS. That portrayal of the legends is a major influence on this work. Flawed, but with untouchable spirit and atmosphere. |

Been listening to this one a lot since it's release. A fantastic album! Thankfully, people are embracing the legends within this scene, particularly when channeled through such excellent music!

Does anyone here speak French? The Google translation is OK but there are a few baffling spot: heidnir-webzine.com/2017/09/06/pendragon-uther/Also I am hoping to release a limited hand-dubbed cassette of Uther soon, if anyone would be interested. |
