Good evening all It is still in its infancy, but I wanted to introduce you to a new DS site - Mildew & Grandeur
The site will contain dungeon synth reviews, as well as essays on Dungeon Synth, and Dungeon culture (if, indeed, there is such a thing). Reviews will focus primarily on the experience of listening to a release, the atmospheres, imagery, emotions, as well as what the release adds to DS as a genre/culture. It may also venture into adjacent topics, such as pulp fantasy, board gaming/roleplaying, history, hauntology / decay, etc. Eventually, I would love to include carefully curated interviews with artists and fans, focusing on what DS means to them (please get in touch if you're interested), and perhaps specific label focuses. The aim is to enable exploration of DS as a genre - what it means to us, why it is important, what 'dungeon' means, artistically, critically and culturally. There may be some academic exploration of the genre, but first and foremost it is a fan site, from a listener's perspective. Disclosure - I am an existing DS artist and fan. I am both a member of this forum under a different name, and the FB group. I have no significant links to any labels / individuals in the scene that will affect the agenda of the site. Any feedback will be much appreciated. I will be working hard on this site, and would love it to be a place people bookmark and visit regularly for a perspective on DS. Thanks very much

Big ups! Hope it goes well.
please consider creating some social media pages if you want it to be a place people visit regularly. I mainly engage with DS through Insta and fb (i'm still very new to this board) and seeing new articles and reviews posted up there will remind people to keep engaging.

Kool site. Nice Foolish Fire write-up. Always interested in write-ups that go outside of just reviews, so I'm interested in these coming posts on dungeon culture. Reminds me of this old post about lifestyle or culture within the genre (would culture here be synonymous with 'scene'?).

Oh, nice to see that pop up again Posted a reply back then (under my Bulletrider alias). mildewandgrandeur, That reads really interesting, esp. the aspect of focussing the reviews based on the experience of the whole listening process
