The Tyrant's Tower

Deferent Golgi The long climb up these stone stairs isn't easy, the air thickened with a deafening auditory sorcery meant to stop explorers from reaching the top, but actually it only draws us upward to what we expect will be the source of the evil noise. And yet the tyrant's riddle has no answer. Favorite track: Ancient Masonry pt. I-III.

chaucerianmyth For those looking for an easy listen, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. This album is very dark. It's grim and gritty and atmospherically dense. It's complex and complicated. It needs to be engaged with by those who can appreciate the harsh aesthetics that this release so perfectly conjures. For those willing to properly engage with this album, it is nearly perfect. 10/10 Favorite track: Ancient Masonry pt. I-III.

Stoa This is far better than most people realize. It beats the blam out of the shazaam, in plain English. Favorite track: The Wicked Tyrant pt. I-IV.

about

Dark, murky dungeon noise with moments of ethereal bliss. Best listened to on headphones in the dark.

Note: I am editing this album on 3/9, putting in a slightly updated version of the first track. Everything else is the same. Sorry about that! I just listened to the track over and over and realized I wasn't actually satisfied with it so I made a slight change.

EDIT: It is now over a year later and I am adding a bonus track, "Return to the Tyrant's Tower" because I wanted to sort of revisit this style briefly. My approach is somewhat different but I think I capture the same sort of spirit, just in a newer light. I hope you enjoy it.
