“One of my most prized possessions is a very banged-up vinyl copy of Bo Hansson´s Lord of the Rings that I found in what you call ‘Sperrmüll’ in German - heaps of stuff that people throw out and that block the street until waste collection takes it away. The record was scratched and warped and the melodies seemed to me like faint silhouettes in a snowstorm. You really had to be attentive and search through the noise to enjoy the unearthly quality of the music. For “True North” I tried to reproduce the feeling of listening to that record.” - Ziggurath

It's a pleasure to be back on the archives again! Thank you guys for keeping me motivated to produce more. Engaging with the Dungeon Synth community and knowing that so many people enjoy my music online has helped me tremendously over the last year.
I honestly wanted to have "True North" finished by mid '23, but ran into some production issues... Turns out working in one 90 minute long project file is not the best idea after all ;)
The next one won't take so long, promise.

I adore your music. Keep up the great work 😃
Great music!
who did the cover art?
Just in time for the deathly temperatures my city is experiencing as of late. Now it feels like an epic adventure! Be well, now!
Soulless AI generated art kills any interest in your music. Sorry not sorry
Suddenly, I'm stuck on a boat with a vampire in the cargo hold.
In the middle of the Atlantic on the way to the New World.
Hey, we've all been there. Right? RIGHT?
@@youMatterItDoesGetBetter He seems to understand my English, but refuses to speak it and is getting agitated.
This sounds the the plot to an amazing indie game, like the Obra dinn game, survive trying to hide and lock the vampire in a room.
Reading Conan... this works
i read like a third of it like 15 years ago, I was already thinking about getting around reading the later stories. it is pretty cool to be made aware that there are still people reading that stuff.
Was staying inside today because of a snowstorm, and now I got the perfect soundtrack for it.
same
Oslo?
Oslo?
same
This fits so good while coding at 1-AM as the wind blows through the open window
I did not expect to find someone else listening to this while coding xD
absolutely perfect on a rainy night or day
Whatcha working on?
Really so atmospheric! It turned my subway commute into a dark odyssey into the frozen wastes.
I see them as the same thing.
@@Blisterdude123Ha, very true.
Probably didn't need this soundtrack to do that
@@viscountslappy5085 I was on the Seoul subway. Outside of rush hour, it's pretty nice.^^
The opening passages sound appropriate for standing on the platform, awaiting the train to get you OUT of the station, unseen by certain folks.
You have no idea how perfectly this fits with a campaign I am doing with friends.
You have cool friends
I'd love to hear about it. No joke.
i wish i had friends. I'm growing a plant.
@@Sorrowfax ooookkkk it’s a campaign that takes place in frozen wasteland of mystery and ancient treasure. Comprised of an archipelago of small islands with port cities. No one ventures too deep into the fog ridden landscape for fear of running into the many hunted and twisted things in this barren battle scarred terrain. Rumors of immortality and the guardians that protect it still bring in many adventures who seek to know the real truth and history behind the mythical battle between the demons and angels that shattered this entire civilization nearly 1000 years ago. Now only a shadow of its former glory, a half sunken angelic structures still comprise the cities of the islands. Governed by bigoted poor humans who are still clinging to a broken region of angel worship but the madness of the land and the years of war against the demons have made the once glorious angels into dark beings not to be disturbed. It’s a dark tale and it’s a beautiful song to listen to while in the story. Thanks 🙏 again for the song and for thanks sharing your interest in our story.
@@kaml5076 that really does sound amazing. Wish I could play in that universe
I feel like there is an early 80's movie that didn't get finished that this belongs to.
Really love your music, you tap into something that just transports me to a different world, and its incredible.
Thank you. I always try to take the listeners on a journey... Glad to hear that it worked for you!
I... can´t believe it. I go to youtube to play some Tales From The Southern Realms and this shows in my feed 0_o... I´m beyond excited!
18:40 That dog bark goes so well with everything else. Beautiful
Perfect soundtrack for the "Gods of the Forbidden North" campaign adventure
YO ZIGGURATH NEW ALBUM FUCK YEA
Best experienced sitting in front of a crackling fireplace, staring out a big window while a blizzard rages outside....Then suddenly you hear a heavy, desperate knock at your door.
Epic Northrend vibe! Really feel the first tune is the expedition of Lordaeronians pursuing the Lich King
Your music gripped and intrigued me like none other. Well done.
Christmas came late after all! Thank you so much for this, you just made my day ✌
My background music while studying. Great album
I was totally in the right mood for this one and now Ive relistened it several times, great album!
This is absolutely magical 💖✨
Just discovered this artist recently, so it’s a nice coincidence this album just dropped. I’m pleased to hear this on a cold January day
Just found this while searching music at work, gotta take a deep dive to the channel to find some great pieces for my campaign to play!
The sounds and atmosphere is awesome with this album.
Excellent - this is very welcome🧙♂🪄💎🌌
Just got here. Always loved D+D and music, such a cool idea for a genre. Looking forward to exploring yr catalog, thanks mate.
Great Sounds. Awesome vibe. Love this work.👌
this is magnificent, and love the artwork
Oh yes. I've been looking forward to this.
Thank you!!!
This is hauntingly beautiful
AMAZING. very satisfied.
Ordered the cassette before I even got through the first full listen lol. Perfect for the frozen, Canadian mid January feel that I am going through right now. Had to get my hands on a copy of it physically.
Oh a new journey for my dreams to follow!
Amazing atmosphere.
Thanks very much!
Absolutely perfect
Started reading the Bloodsworn Saga recently. This fits right in with images of exhausted Vikings sleeping on a rocky beach, grim mercenary bands where getting your ass kicked is part of the initiation, and treks through wild lands in search of the gods' graveyard.
Used this in D&D. Now I use it to drift into sleep. Amazing. 🔥
Reminds me of the coastal area in secret of evermore, slightly more fleshed out
Great call back.
This is awesome, very atmospheric.
Tremendous stuff!
Amazing. Thanks.
Starkes Ding!
Just woke up from a nap, and this was in my notifications. It's gonna be a great evening!
Hideously awesome!
love this
I am a simple woman. I see the latest Ziggurath album, I listen.
I love some Winter Synth. If I ever made Dungeon Synth, it would definitely factor into my second album, at least.
long live israel
Perfect!
Sensational
instant fan
This isn't just an album, it's an experience... Thank you Ziggurath for this incredible piece of art.
Than YOU for taking part in that experience ;)
Klingt gut!
This is like extremely good
here's a keeper for sure!
Good one!
This is Lit!!
very good material
How nice of you to make the soundtrack of my homeland.
Really love the melody at 1:24:36, has a lot of character, really sticks in my head. Almost reminds me of Fabio Frizzi's work on some Fulci flicks.
This is awesome music. I could feel the pirates sailing their ship through iceberg and sailing slower not to the icebergs.
Beautiful mistery
Unheilsame Wolken is really good. Would love to hear a longer version.
Glad that you like it. Maybe I'll find the time to put up an extended version on my channel.
is this your channel or is "Ziggurath" your channel? @@Ziggurath
this music is awesome
We need more mysterious pirate dungeon synth!
This would be great to listen to while reading Heart of Darkness or Moby Dick
Thank you for uploading all this music with the OG cover art. Your the only dungeon synth channel i can find without any AI art on it, and i really appreciate that.
Does he know?
@@stolyartoad8640I believe he’s being sarcastic
please tell me you aren't serious
Awesome music for my next game of D&D 😈💀🤘
WINTER DUNGEON SYNTH? I'M IN
The True North Calling Me 🏔
Lo quiero en vinilo❤❤
Sounds cool and is great for TTRPG. Brings a lot of imagination.
Huge W
so immersive
I am going for a brain scan this morning 😂
The machine that creates the image if the brain is rather loud and so to alleviate the discomfort of the machine the technician places headphones on the patient to help distract them from the noise and the clostrophobia of the procedure.
Wish I had a cd of this to help me trip away fhe 20 odd minutes of the procedure.
God bless to all 😂❤❤
Oh damn, I hope everything went well with your scan.
Hearthfire slaps after all that frosty music, peak comfy-synth ❤
"slaps"-pedophile dogwhistle, meaning to "slap" the ass of the young child. DISGUSTING
There is this interview with Tolkien in which he says that you have to give the readers some relief after putting them through a gruelling journey. I tried to keep that in mind while making True North.
Off to the Bitter Reach!
nice
Reminds me of Gothic 2 soundtrack. Love it.
I wish this would have come out when I ran Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden for my DnD group! Definetly gonna save this incase I ever run Icewind Dale for some other group in the future!
I see this as a reason TO run it for a new group!
listening to it as i play everquest project 1999 w/ an old friend -- its very good
I love this! I'm reading the comments and feeling exactly like everyone is describing! I'm new to this kind of space, can anyone recommend some movies that share a similar feeling/theme to this?
Dark ancient melody its amazing ...😮
Bo Hansson is the best justification I've read for making an album
Perfect for a nautical themed dnd campaign !
One of the best DS projects working today 💜
How nice of you, thanks!
around the 12:30 mark, it felt like someone was asking me if I'd been to Scarborough Faire.
From the North, to the Nothern North
The cocer reminds me of a movie I saw once
🎉🎉🎉
Obsidian should make Icewind Dale III and have you score it.
Great dwarf fortressing tunes
undead player : "we need more ziggurath"
I'm a fan of your stuff, Honestly Tales from the Southern Realms is quite spectacular.
I'm liking this alright but I hope in your upcoming work you'll dial it back on the sound effects or have them sit lower in the mix.
I know, Opinions are like assholes but some of the effects, although germain to your themes, their volume break immersion as oppose to enhance it.
I have always enjoyed your note choice and voicings. Have fun making your work and maybe don't listen to people like me.
Hey man, thanks for the input! Glad that you enjoy the music.
It's not bad. Actually kinda enjoyable... but doesn't really make me think of winter, or the north. Can't imagine as many birds, as you hear, being north in the winter.
I would love to use your music for my gaming channel. May I use? I would credit you of course and I would love to promote your work.
Sure, go ahead
Those are some heavy duty diacritics, ngl.
Omg this is so good! It's like being on a ship sailing past a giant skull...whike the cold air....😂😂😂😂 no no its not
where aHa & Borknagar did not sound convincing "TRUE NORTH" by Ziggurath nails it
Ha, thank you so much!
close......
LOL LIL TREES TRUE NORTH
The skull reminds me of icewind dale
