Vinterdvala - Historien Om De Sju Trollgubbarna



A new dungeon synth release has seen the light of day (August 2017). This day, we have a new act from Sweden called Vinterdvala (Winter hibernation). And this act has just released its debut called ´Historien Om De Sju Trollgubbarna´ (The Tale Of The Seven Trollops´. Released on his own Bandcamp site/label called Slingerormen Productions. Now, on with the music. 

A wonderful small and simple achievement, majestic and epic dungeon synth. Not the darkest and most vile of its kind, and not the most lighthearted either. Perfect balanced, the sound is magnificent. 
Some dungeon synth acts, can be too primitive and some are too polished and synthetic in sound. This one is neither. 


I can describe it as, classic vintage synth/role-playing game soundtrack. Most of the synths here are closer to Tangerine Dream than Mortiis (almost). Quite perfect for background music, when you're having your Dungeon and Dragons role-playing game time. I also think it works well for those who are new to dungeon synth and need a proper introduction to the genre. It has all the needed charms and moods that a proper dungeon-synth release should have.   

I hope that it would come out on cassette, with extra tracks to fill it.
