GON001: Henbane - Vildfaren Og Jagtet (2nd edition) Dark handplayed nostalgic dungeon synth with a cathartic approach to composition, centered towards folkloric or prehistoric themes. Much has happened since the 30 copies of the first edition were sold, and a 2nd edition has been heavily requested for quite some time.

If you buy less, excess shipping will be manually refunded within 1-2 days. - If you buy 3 or more tapes, your package will include up to 4 free collectable/playable Gondolin Cards. - Orders will begin shipping on Monday, 4th of Nov as the latest print run of new Gondolin cards is awaiting arrival.

There will be a larger stock update of forsakenrelics.com on Nov 1st. - These tapes were released physically earlier this month at the Mortiis/Henbane show in Copenhagen.
