bechthold First Track sounds pretty uninspired at first,but dont let this fool you.
Its the Epic Introduction to a really great Sword and Sorcery Themed Dungeon Synth Album with heavy 80's Synth vibes.
Love it Favorite track: Sword, Sandal, and Bone.

Fen Walker Like a gauntlet to the face. A new classic. Favorite track: Legends Speak of a Temple that Fell from the Heavens.

Jason Shook An immediate essential. This album catapults you into a dark and lawless land of stretched and unforgiving deserts. A place wreathed in both barbarism and mysticism. True to its roots of inspiration, this work would have Frazetta, Howard and the like all smiling from ear to ear. Just a phenomenal listen from start to finish. The Dark Svn is Seregost's finest yet!

TAPES AVAILABLE JULY 3 FROM OBSIDIAN RELIC RECORDS

No one remembers when the world began to die. Perhaps the slow decay began at the dawn of Time, the inexorable march toward entropy - the vltimate destiny for all living things; or perhaps it was an event, or a seqvence of events, which cvlminated into this dire paradigm? None have lived long enovgh to measvre the cancerovs malignance that has crept over the face of the Svn, bvt now, a sickening filth has begvn to seep into the radiance of the once-magnificent Life-Giver. Where this blackness festers, it radiates its accvrsed offal onto the grovnd, desecrating the verdant lands, scarring the face of the world like an infected wovnd beneath the skin. All life tovched by this darkness is corrvpted - plants wither, trees deform and gnarl, seeking blood for svstenance; people mvtate, and skin festers with disease, as minds degenerate, driving the host body into a mindless search for yet more destrvction.

Behold a realm scorched by the march of time and blessed by the tovch of a Dying Svn. It is a realm in the slow throes of death - in this Age of Strife, it is a life born to strvggle, pain, and certain demise. Only the strong can svrvive in this land of maravding hordes of barbarians, the pestilential machinations of decaying wizards, tomes and Powers from long-forgotten kingdoms, and even the Eldritch intrigves of the Nine Kings - rvmored to be giants towering above mortal men who are venerated by certain peoples of the Realm.

It is a world whose magnificence is a faded memory, replaced by the harrowed visage of a slow, painfvl rot - a world vnder the menacing gaze of the Dark Svn, who even now is slowly waning like a black-veined cataract eye in the Heavens.

Prophecies tell of a time when the Dark Eye of God - Occvlvs Dei - will look vpon the world, bestow its pvtrid blessing vpon the crown of the Fallen of God, and anoint him the Lord of the World. There is a resistance, some few remaining tribes of warriors dare stand against the throngs of the mvtated hordes, those anointed by the tovch of the Dark Svn, the blessing of the Fallen God who rests hidden beneath the newly risen Black Fortress vpon the highest peak of the Godsback movntains.

"Ten Kings there were;
Nine remain, therefore not One.
Where Fallen once heralded the Light of the Svn
Now vnbidden comes the anointing of the Blackened Son,
Destined to Become;
The vnfvrling of the Darkened One"

The Dark Svn is a dark fantasy tale of sword, sandal, and bone; of warring barbarian tribes, decrepit sorcerors wielding dangerous magics, and ancient technologies hefted alongside savage weapons.

Of course, this album and the music contained herein wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but notable thanks need to go to:

Robert E. Howard who needs no introduction

Masters of the Universe - everyone involved, from the writers to the music.

Timothy B. Brown and Troy Denning and their Dark Sun Dungeons & Dragons setting

Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel for their Dungeon World PbtA game.

Heavy Metal magazine, and all the pulp sword and sorcery power fantasy that I read as kid.

Last, but certainly not the least, my band of D&D mercenaries and friends, past and present.
