Hello everyone! I just got recently into Dungeon Synth (altough I knew the sound from Summoning tracks, or Frost by Enslaved), and I am already working on a small conceptual project that would fit into the genre, I believe. I just wanted to ask for any reccomendations, I specially enjoy the melodic and evoking sounds of Fief or DIM rather than the pure ambiental sound, altough I enjoy it too. Here some ideas: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DffQVP6UqVQ&t=1461swww.youtube.com/watch?v=duJBjG0UafM&t=369sThank you for your time!

Hello and welcome meres! Metal is the biggest gateway to DS and we are lots of us here Summoning fans of course Good luck with your project and keep us updated.. Now, on to your recommendation request, what you've gone through already ? Fief discography is a must anyway, DIM is also very good and strongly supported.. In that exact style I can't recommend out of my mind something but it will come up later hopefully but have you checked for example full Sequestered Keep discography? Not in that exact style but required listens.. Erang's full discography is also a great place to start with DS(amd probably Lord Lovidicus).. Have you gone through these "modern" stuff? Or what have you already gone through ? From the 90s cannon, have you heard anything ? So people don't recommend things you already have listened since you got recently into DS.. Regards!

For stuff that leans into more melodic territory, the aforementioned Sequestered Keep is a great start. Of course Erang and Lord Lovidicus should be required listening too. To carry on with the Sequestered Keep track, I would also suggest Utred, Windtower and Upyr. You might also like some of the songs from Encloaked, which is my project. This next one is a little more left of field because it's very cold in style compared to the others I mentioned. However, it's very melodic and song-focused. A personal favourite of mine.

So, trying to list what IΒ΄ve gone thorugh is pretty chaotic. Turns out I already listened to Sequestered Keep and love it. So far, I listened deeply and enjoyed, Fief and DIM, as mentioned, Old Sorcery, some Deppressive Silence and Estoc. These, I loved them. I would like to get to know some more 90s albums, as it seems little more complicated to get into them. Thank you for your answers!

meres : Great, here are some 90s recommendations.. First of all in the really one in a million you haven't heard Depressive Silence "II"/"Mourning" as well as Solanum - Spheres of Time and Gothmog - Medieval Journeys.. These are beyond classics really, I suppose you have already gone through them.. Also all Mortiis(+Fata Morgana side project) 1st era stuff are required and great listens in general for the genre .. His latest DS album just couple of weeks back is also great as ever, in general Mortiis is essential listening Beyond them, there's a lot and great and varied stuff for every taste but just some more recommendations if you have already gone through the above essentials : Corvus Neblus - Chapter I Strahd's Possession, Floral of Forever - Ad Infinitum, Druadan Forest - Mirkwood (demo).. Hope that give you a lead.. p.s. Varg's ambient classic tracks like "Tomhet", "Han Som Reiste", etc etc even the metal instrumental "Crying Orc" and the 2 90s prison albums are also essential in the genre..
