about

A concept album.
This album was essentially conceived after I asked myself a question:
"Why isn't there any Sufi-themed Dungeon Synth?"
You would think that a religious tradition with a penchant for graves, asceticism, meditation, fervent dancing and general wandering would be ripe for the Dungeon Synth picking, but there isn't that much of this stuff out there.
Instead of using faux-medieval melodies, I'm using faux-medieval sufi melodies.
Recommended for fans of Anubis and Shevalreq.

The picture is a Chinese Sufi Shrine used by the Hui people. It is of the architectural style known as Gongbei.

This album is absolutely pristine. It legitimately made me tear up. If I were to have an album to represent DS, I would choose this one. Poppet

De l'importance du titre ou Comment une juxtaposition de mots savamment choisis permettra à l'auditeur attentif de repérer chez Old Nick une transition vers un cadre spatio-temporel plus proche de l'ère victorienne gothique, confirmée par les clavecins et cuivres au synthé, mais aussi de parodier le contexte susmentionné, parodie amplifiée par un raw black metal chaotique : un essai au sujet de T.N.O.T.A.A.T.P.B.T.Q.A.S.F.A.B.O.O.T.D.O.S.S.T.T.E.V.H.S mené par Sir Jordan Vauvert en l'an 2024.

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra
