about

Minimal, dwarven synth from deep within the pantheon of the elder gods.

---

"On their enchanting debut Blade of Morndinsamman, Chicago’s Alkilith, a Dungeons and Dragons-inspired dungeon synth/fantasy ambient project (what they call "dwarven synth"), crafts its songs from minimal resources, often relying on single keyboard tracks to create atmosphere. Influenced by more traditional 8- and 16-bit video game music as well as their own peers, Alkilith concentrates on creating an atmosphere by utilitarian means—finding oneself in Alkilith’s dreamworld is simply the end result.

The dwarven sound relies more on the keen musician’s intuition than some grand, bellicose artistic statement. Alkilith doesn’t try, it merely is, and the natural-sounding music found on the Blade of Morndinsamman is as relaxing as it is engaging. These are the halls of the gods to which Alkilith summons, this is a true and vivid setting rather than some gaudy affectation. Use this to add to your upcoming game’s atmosphere, or lose yourself in it on its own." - www.thecallofthenight.com

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer. Bjorn
