Self-described “pastoral dungeon synth” from Atascadero, CA. Sweeping medieval-flavored instrumentals that have one foot in Middle Earth and the other in Arthurian legend (the title is a nod to the name of Sir Lancelot’s castle). Cinematic, with some really nice synthesizer melodies that fans of new age music will also enjoy. Pairs nicely with Fall weather. And yes, the artist performs live wearing a cloak and chainmail on a candle-lit stage. FCC Clean TRY: 4, 5, 8
RIYL: Hole Dweller, DIM, Fogweaver, Skyrim and/or renaissance fairs, pushing up your glasses when you make references to The Silmarillian, etc.
1. Epic, sweeping
2. Slow start with ringing bells. Thundering percussion
3. Edgy, dramatic, percussion-forward
*4. Triumphant with sweeping melodies. Great breakdown at the 3:40 mark into a nice lilt
*5. Delicate harpsichord intro. Gradually swells into a great orchestral fantasy piece
6. Lonesome, wandering
7. Eerie, floaty, mysty
*8. Galloping with an awesome harp melody and sweet strings
9. Flutey, fairy tale like, a little Celtic
10. Epic, harp-led
11. Gentle finale. Features a sample from LOTR of Gandalf’s speech about the afterlife
