Manna for BM fiends, D&D players and RPG questers; the next NTS compilation surveys the fetid bedroom-scape of dungeon synth music with a dozen gems plucked from obscure early ‘90s records.

‘ASCEND’ shines a light into the dark world of Dungeon Synth, a genre that first emerged during the early ’90s when black metal artists switched up their guitars for synthesizers. In some ways, these soundscapes are a darker, colder and forlorn reflection of kosmische music. Here we get twelve deeply atmospheric tracks, evocative of frozen forests and moonlit desolate landscapes. Includes tracks from Neptune Towers (Fenriz of Darkthrone), Endoki, Dolch, Asmorod, Lunar Womb and more.
