dreadwoodprophecies Amazing tones & amazing vibes! Favorite track: The Journey Home (MCMLXXXVII).

dringle-wizard Perfect Backdrop for TTRPGs, reading a great book, or getting focused. Love it. Great work. Favorite track: The Return (MCMLXXXVII).

Carbon Category Revisiting these tracks has resulted in new angles by which to enjoy them. Favorite track: The Return (MCMLXXXVII).

vuhvoidloves As much IOTLK has an affinity with the ancient / the mysterious / lost civilizations, etc, this set of interpretations puts a filter on that, and digs deeper into some sort of hazy hypnogogic state.

One can hear the despair of the abyss, but for those who 'get it', this collection is equally life-affirming.

Now that Jóhann Jóhannsson is sadly no longer with us, I'd be hiring this artist to score movies, if I was a musical director, which I'm not:) Favorite track: The Journey Home (MMXXII).

Amathounta Great album! Some excellent reimagining going on here! Thank you for your music IOTLK, it brings me great pleasure always! Favorite track: The Journey Home (MMXXII).

Televiper Astounding, imaginative, immersive. This is an utterly unique dungeon synth release as it features the same set of three songs interpreted three different ways — reminiscent of how a great fantasy theme might appear in multiple forms across the length of a movie. I can’t really pick a favorite version! Favorite track: Behold, the Mountain (MMXXII).

about

A homage to the old ways, through the two-fold reimagining of three pieces previously featured on the albums "Where the Gods Whisper Your Name Amongst Themselves" and "Dungeon Drone".

Dedicated to those of you who love the warm crackle of an old cassette, the familiarity of a worn piano, and the allure of vintage synthesizers.

The Ghosts of Ancient Kings
by Skeld

Skeld crafted one of my favourite releases of all time by making these beautifully oppressive and subtle atmospheres. "Runesword" is a masterpiece. Idylls of the Last King
go to album
Hidden Passage
by Hidden Passage

A true gem of a release. Very understated, minimal, and yet somehow huge. Meditative dungeon synth at its finest! Idylls of the Last King
go to album
Leere
by Immateriæ

A wonderful musical journey that feels vast in scale and yet simple in its approach. Truly evocative of a solitary journey through space and time. Idylls of the Last King

The Forgotten Winter
by Winter Sphere

supported by 52 fans who also own “The Burning Thrones of Yesteryear”

Winterly, cold, icy, very melancholic Dungeon Synth/Ambient with a freezing breeze from the deep forests. darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM)

Demo XVIII (The Sad Spirit Part III)
by Ghoëst

supported by 47 fans who also own “The Burning Thrones of Yesteryear”

I first heard of Ghoëst when the demos started popping up in everyone's end of year lists, and listening to this the hype is 100% justified. This demo is a whole journey: atmospheric, focused and surprisingly hooky in places. Really great stuff. lichdom
