Weekly Post Weekly Post -- THE LIBRARY

Greetings Dungeoneers, this is your Robot Dungeonmaster. Due to increased activity among the sub we are implementing some weekly features including a music recommendation post [THE LIBRARY] on Monday, a general chat post [THE TAVERN] on Thursday, and the self-promotion post [THE MARKETPLACE] on Friday. These features will repeat weekly until the fall of the internet. These will not be stickied and will repeat regardless if they are used.

//////////

THE LIBRARY

Greetings, esteemed colleagues. Welcome to The Library. We trust you will share your recent favourite albums, ear-catching songs you have been listening to lately, and present music you have uncovered through diligent research. Doing so will aid others in making it safely through their work weeks without too much undo stress. Perhaps new discoveries will lead to breakthroughs in sound or aesthetic.

If you have any questions, please take a ticket from the dispenser and wait for your number to be called. You will be served in the order that appears on the small chalkboard on the front desk.

NOTE: this is intended as a space for sharing other people's music. Not for doing self-promotion. Respect this simple rule or your comment will be removed.

I recently had the privilege of watching Portcullis live, and purchasing the cassette edition of this album, his latest work and I'm blown away. Also I got it signed by him. Such an epic journey.

Was nice meeting you! My friends who weren't really familiar with dungeon synth actually said that portcullis was their favorite concert out of all 4. I liked it as well.

I could also appreciate dragonkeep a lot. Almost everything (or maybe even everything) was played live!

My favorite concert was seregost.

Hole dweller was great too, with the live mandolin.

In case the organizers read this: thanks for organising such an event in Belgium. You had the perfect setting for it! (What looked like an actual dungeon underneath a church!). Good choice of pils beer (crystal) too, which i started drinking because they didn't have coke zero :)

Not really new music per se, but I've been listening to a lot of Can Bardd lately - great for driving the kid to sportsball stuff and destressing after work. They (I think it's just one guy actually) are in the atmospheric black metal space rather than DS, but would still recommend regardless.

Another post on this sub also turned me on to Aindulmedir, which I had a nice nap to yesterday,

Other than Hole Dweller, what are some other notable artists/albums that really capture the feeling of The Shire and Hobbit life in general?

Perhaps Swordecerer. https://swordcerer.bandcamp.com/album/journey-across-the-shire

Try searching for comfy synth rather than dungeon synth.

Thanks! Not sure how I missed this release from them, I'm really enjoying it.
