All those D&D stories left unfinished as friendships fade and years drag on, all those books never written, stories never told, cancelled games left unreleased and incomplete, songs that an artist never sung, all those dreams and ambitions that never saw their beginnings... or died before they could get off the ground for anyone to see....
Where do they go? Where do they end up? Can they ever be found again? Can they be uncovered? Would life be different today had they lasted? Inspired the right people? Touched the right minds?
What was not found today.... from what has been lost in the past?
amazing comment.
How dare you speak my truth to me.
Your DND character would be a bard poet imo.
The crowd is in awe of your wonder and inspiration. Your intelligence increased by 1!
Good choice. Your race would be either Dream Dwarf or Moon Elf in my opinion.
Aye.
Everyone listening in 2024 is a medieval time traveler
Or in my case writing a book
Verily
Now I am putting a time traveler in my story with a shocking sword and you can’t stop me!
The journey to the Celestial Ruby.
Have listened to the live performances at the Dark Dungeon Festivals yesterday and got the urge to listen to the albums again. =)
Kind of funny how this “depressive, dark, etc” music has so much soul.
This music is like finding a diamond in dirt
So true it’s gorgeous to a degree that is too hard to explain
Dirt...?)No. Awesome music
@@rodovich- bro read again what he wrote 😭💀
It's because people who have experienced many negative emotions are often more emotionally intelligent due to experience. Sometimes suffering in emotional ways like that can lead people to want to vent their sorrow, depression and thoughts in whatever means they can. Whether that be music, writing, paintings, or even just words. People who have also felt these ways can appreciate these emotional outlets too and often find them full of emotion and beauty, especially the more subtle or neesh topics are, it also helps bring comfort in knowing that you are not alone.
YOU have a lot of soul 🤩
Born too late to see the Great Discoveries, born too young to watch the Space Voyages, but born just in time to see Dungeon Synth revival.
Space voyages? In the future? I think you're being unreasonably optimistic.
@@robertmitchum8254 going on them is definitely out of reach but i think we'll see humans do a proper trip beyond the moon within the coming decades, maybe mars as you would expect
@@classicpinball9873 by "humans" do you mean rich bastards? Because in that case yeah, maybe
@@classe-tmb that’s why I said it’s out of reach for anyone reading this.
The earth is a big enough place with more than enough to explore for one lifetime though
Born just in time in the right place to have ready access to food and air conditioning.
Think small mortal.
I have played this style of music on my keyboard for almost 20 years, but I've recorded VERY little of it. It's nice to know there is an actual audience for this. That's kind of inspiring to me. Back in my mid 20s, I used to spend countless hours and nights playing/creating stuff like this.
Is there a chance you have some of your recordings left? Given the fact that dungeon synth has such a substantial following now it would be great to hear some of your work :)
@Borys The best and most complete song I ever did is on my channel. It may not be exactly dungeon style, but I definitely started with medieval soundscapes. I'm not sure how to classify my song "Remedy", as I named it. Maybe it's more like soundtrack / film score. It was an evolution of my physical ability on the keys. Initially, I was a guitar player in the genre of viking/folk metal - most inspired by Mithotyn. I have full ~5 minute melodic metal songs of just guitar with lots of keyboard, kind of epic and bombastic. But those are not on CZcams. Remedy:

Edit: I uploaded it 11 years ago, but it was private. When I switched to public, it took that date. Actually did most of my serious playing back in 2006.
may be its the time for a come back, bring us some good music please, do it for love and the money will come for prize your dedication :)
Do it!
your music and photography included in some of your videos is both really good, im a fan. underrated channel my friend
This is THE dungeon synth album.
Couldn't agree with you more.
It's SO in right now.
👍
Fief is awesome.
It's awesome af. Have you tried Holedwellers? They are also very good also.
This is like the OST to a cancelled dark fantasy RPG from the mid 90s
King
Castlevania on SNES had a pretty awesome OST, though I'm not sure that qualifies as "dark fantasy"
sudano go hard
I agree, Jon
you got it
I can’t believe it’s getting popularized now, it’s never been more over
1,5Million Views over the span of 6 years, thats not exactly popular / pop music.
@@GloomGenetics I didn't mean this song in particular, as a genre. It's picked up a lot of attention on social media platforms recently.

its kinda weird i end up finding this sort of stuff at the same time as it becomes popular, but it's usually just by chance.
Отличная музыка.
Ощущаю её идейное родство с death in june.
Лес, какие то руины. Красота европейского севера.
В Карелии есть развалины к северу от Выборга. Там и линия маннергейма, остатки. Можно на мервых финов посмотреть. Послушать о чем они говорят с русскими.
Еще в Великом Новгороде красиво и соответствует духу музыки.
*Боже, спасибо человеку создавшему этот жанр музыки! Это то, в чём я нуждался*
It like a soundtrack to a non-existent film. This really captures the aura of creativity and inspiring ingenuity of mid-90's underground music.
Its literally Skyrim video game music lol people who listen to this unironically are wierd.
@@emperorphil2547 Bro this kick’s Skyrim’s ass…
@@emperorphil2547 In this time and age, what isn't weird anymore?
Besides; It's a soothing reprieve from the harrowing existence of modern life. A much welcomed one.

I live right under the mountains in Germany. Now it is December, but here it looks like Fall. This music makes me want to go in these mountains and get into a some fantasy adventure.
Dont we all want to get into a fantasy adventure
Ur very lucky bro, not like me that i live in a desert lmao

@@lucienlachance2852 Schwarzwald ❤️
Dang it, this isn't depressive, nor is it silent. Bamboozled again!
Yeah, I'm not much into the album title tbh. The contents are wonderful but I feel the title and cover don't quite express it. Just my opinion.
My interpretation of the album title is that the music kills the silence, therefore it is the opposite of depressive
Not ambient and literally the whitest music ever....
@Philotheos I mean: I don't think it will be eligible for the MOBO awards.
Ive got an album context: it would be called happy noises and the whole album will be just silence.
Clicked for the cover, stayed for the music...
The instant I looked at this album cover I had a flashback of myself as a kid reading this extremely old king arthur book where the illustrations were fading and the pages were pale white. Listening to this for 20 seconds made me go to a nearby book shop, buy a king arthur book and read it all over again
I haven't finished the book yet but it's very interesting so far
Alright, spill it. I love King Arthur books and Tolkien. My curiosity is up. Which one?
King Arthur by whom ?
@@serhiiderkach8126 I don't know who wrote the first book - which is pretty sad, because its vibe was much more similar to this albums than the one i'm reading -, but the book I bought recently was written by Howard Pyle. I can't tell wether the authors are the same or not since this adaptation is pretty different, although this could be a translation issue (both books were translated to portuguese)
Did you finish it?
@@dead2802 If you like that you should read The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck. It's his incomplete adaptation. He worked on it at length but died before totally finishing the story. However it is still novel length, and amazing.
Forest of Eternity touches me in such a certain way its indescribable
I hope it’s not touching you inappropriately though
Just like your creepy uncle did when you were 8.
Show us on this doll where it touched you.
@@reasonablefacsimile be easier to show where it didn't touch me
@@ominousbiscuit 😆
I am new to Dungeon Synth but i am really , really enjoying what i am hearing .
This is the genre I never knew existed but needed so badly.
There is spirit in this album.
“A man’s maturity consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child at play.”
~F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §94.
it was pure
dungeon synth feels so nostolgic. It's like finding a videogame as a kid that you have no idea what to do in it but play it anyways because the choppy graphics look cool.
For years I have been coming back to this video. I remember discovering it when looking for background music for running a dnd game. Years have past, lovers faded, family passed away, freiends moved on, and places have changed. Through all my hard changes and heartbreak, through the sunny days reading fantasey books outside with my cat, I have always come back to this album. A sound of mencholy regreat for old days gone, but with hope. A feeling of sadness that the good times and loved ones are gone, but that there is breghtness peaking through the clouds with somthing new to experence! This album has been such a big comfort to me in my hardest and most lonelist times. Today I am sad for what I have lost, but this music makes me ready to embrace what will come! So much hope conveyed in such beautiful sound! Thank you Deppressive Silence for making this touching masterpeice, and thank you Dungeon Synth Archives for bringing me so much music to help make this life a bit more beautiful!
Life is such a strange journey, so beautiful yet so painful
Probably the best dungeon synth album ever produced
👍
Near, but no, the best is "Medieval Journeys" from Gothmog. But I agree that this is the second place, and third place Erevos productions.
Would anyone else step forth to challenge this claim? I would be interested in hearing the names.
@@michaelthomastaren3449 Taur-nu-Fuin by Thangorodrim is really good.
czcams.com/video/1lpf-nQFzJ4/video.html
@@nocturnaldivision Enchantment of the Ring takes it, no question - but this is a good second
Discovering this after 2 weeks of a tough exam session makes me ascend.
listened to this with my friends, stoned out of our minds, in a atmospherical setting while playing DnD. Man that was an experience
Damn sounds so fun, would love to do that w/ some friends one day, made a ttrpg based on morrowind's system back in the day and still haven't been able to try it out
Sounds awesome
Depressive Silence was a dungeon synth duo from Breisach, Germany, formed by B. Schmidt (keyboards, vocals) and Ral (keyboards, guitars).
Never thought Dungeon Synth could be this good. Im definitely taking this album on my next trip to the mountains, set up camp, lay down and listen to it just watching the landscape and letting my imagination drift away.
This music reminds me of dreams I have had as a child. More specifically a dream I have had where it was snowing and I was surrounded by birch trees. In the distance of that forest, I could see a disneyland-like castle ontop of a mountain like the one on the album cover.
I never expected music to take me back to that kind of memory but it did.
Depressive Silence, Forgotten Pathways, Dolch, Mortiis, Vond, Wongraven, Druadan Forest, Secret Stairways... Some of the best music i've ever heard.
You named the great stuff! I would also add Lunar Womb, Mournlord and some others I forgot
Lamentation
Old Sorcery
Mortiis is fucking piece of shit
@@user-mc2xn4rd1y why
Cant believe i'm only just learngin of this genre, i feel like i've been waiting for this my entire life.
IM AT THIS EXACT STAGE IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
Because you God's soul
as a kid I loved old RPG's and read more fantasy books than probably healthy and this music hits that nostalgic feel just right
I'm 30 years old, I've been waiting for this album my whole life. This is what I would want to hear on some new, unearthed N64 Castlevania or shadowgate game
This gives me sorta the N64 Zelda games vibe too.
Yeah it's the harp synth that truly reminds me of older gen games
@@Paz-jv3rj same, very Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask.
This album was uploaded to the channel just a few days after I returned from walking for 9 days - all alone - down the King's Trail in northern Sweden.
The only reason I even did it was this album; it inspired me to wander through a strange, lonely world. Whoever made this music, you have my undying gratitude.
👍
That sounds like a brilliant hike! I tend to do endurance hikes (anywhere from 20 to 80 miles in one go) when I get "the itch". My gf does more long distance over a few days (Pennine Way, The Coast to Coast) and she's geting me into more "multi-day" stuff. Diff'rent mindsets, and she came on one of mine so I'm interested in trying her style. We're planning to hike part of the Carpathians in a coule of years' time.
She's got Land's End to John O'Groats on her "bucket list", but I'm not sure if I'd want to do that or not. Regardless, if we're ever in Sweden we'll be sure to try the King's Trail out as it look p nice. Any tips?
Liar
@@jhonviel7381 You're right mate, I lied about taking a holiday to get likes on a CZcams comment.
@@KnjazNazrath Hey mate, sorry for not replying, I didn't see the comment until jhon viel threw in his two pence.
Tips for the Kungsleden? Not many. The trail is so well marked that you could do it without a map; I only consulted mine to get a general feel for the next day's travel.
Try to go in late August. There should be fewer mosquitos and fewer fellow travellers. If you start in the north at Abisko, you can choose whether to break off the main trial after a few days, or carry on to Sarek National Park. I chose that route because there are even fewer people about, and that's what I was aiming for.
I only did 110km of the route, so I can't speak to the other 330km, but it's lovely. Really great.
This is what I imagined when searching 'Dungeon Synth'...
Distant, wispy atmospheres; long songs; grainy, time-worn artwork. Perfect.
не могу оторваться от прослушивания. Подкупает и выглядит как то, что я искал всю жизнь
Me too 👍🏻🇷🇺

👍👍👍👍
Cough Wheel of Time Cough
thanks for the idea
Just wait til you read the chronicles of amber and the wheel of time
@@allenellsworth5799 i just started it! Two books in and i love it.
I started because i just finished the chronicles of amber and really loved it but the books are so small i wanted more and i couldn't think of any other fantasy series that had great characters and world building then i recall hearing of WoT. Boy good stuff.
I am reasonably sure it ends well with brandon sanderson finishing as I'd read and enjoyed his mistborn books.
Great stuff.
I always thought power/traditional heavy metal had cornered the market on fantasy themed music, but this stuff takes me to dungeon realms , dark enchanted forests, and castellated abbeys just as well.
Truly top tier dungeon synth. This album has really helped me through a lot of dark times…
"Forest Of Eternity" is the greatest dungeon synth song ever made.
👍
Hi Jack
Can't really say anything is the "greatest". Music is subjective after all. Better to say "my favourite".
@@Syklonus what he said was clearly his opinion, doesn't need to be changed at all lol
Even if you're wrong, you're not wrong by very much, my friend. The song is but wonderful.
Incredible that this was made in 1996.
This album so magical. I would call atmosphere a true masterpiece, so dark and beautiful
It's my fantasy. Purity, sadness, triumph, happiness. A lot of things in 1 time period: Castlevania games from my childhood, composing dreams with my best friend and blue sky above. Forever
This is my favorite dungeon synth album of all time... coupled with enchantment of the ring by secret stairways. it is genuinely one of the most inspiring and emotional pieces of art I have ever experienced in my life. Forest of Eternity immediately makes me cry , and I can't explain why :)
I've only recently discovered the dungeon synth genre.
This album is a masterpiece and a transformative experience.
The flickering flame of my soul has been rejuvenated and now pierces the night.
So I’ve grown up listening to every form of electronic dance music from the 1980s and on house music to techno and jungle ragga garage etc... I absolutely adore dungeon synth without ever really listening to that much metal.. truly appreciate all of this stuff... very anthemic and full of bombast.. capable of creating mental images of an imagined history of long long ago! Bloody brilliant. Depressive Silence is amazing...
I love dungeon synth but never listened to metal
This sounds like a backhanded compliment.
@@abeladam5997 wasn’t meant to dude… I love it! 🤘🏻
please show your appreciation by dropping this in your next garage set
@@timnordberg7204 with a full on rewind… come again my selector😂
I like listening to this while eating my favourite ice cream! Hazelnut and caramel and chocolate and cookie dough!
There's something about fantasy that I will always love. Maybe I just don't like this reality.
👍
Fantasy lands seem great from the outside, but they're based on what is pretty much the middle ages where disease and murder were rife. Plus, there's a ton more big things that can eat you than in the real world. as they say, good for a holiday, but I wouldn't want to live there unless I brought some modern medical supplies with me.
@@Syklonus different ways you might die doesnt mean you cant like fantasy worlds better than reality.
@@Syklonus that's the problem, people shouldn't live past maybe 25, shit gets real boring real fast
Without this reality, there would be no fantasy. All is one, friend.
Mother you died recently, i made you discovered this Dungeon Synth music, rest in peace my lovely mother, you loved this kind of music, and i'll pursue your legacy.

@chesnok. mp4 бляяяяя…
This is hands down my favorite dungeon synth album out there. Listen to it at least once almost everyday for months
this album was one of hidden gem favorites like 10 yrs ago. glad to see its got a large fanbase now!
To me I actually find this to be a very upbeat and easy album to listen to. I don't see anything depressing about it and I'm even normally a depressive person. Extremely beautiful!
threevisionsgodpark listening to this masterpiece is like returning to a place where you have fond memories
I think you're right. I certainly wouldn't refer to this as black ambient.
@@MontyCantsin5 I guess the "black ambient" is more akin to the classic label of Dungeon Synth as "ambient music made by black metal musicians" than actually being ambient music with BM elements... it's an arbitrary label rather than a descriptive one, imo.
@@rayres1074: That may very well be the case, and is perhaps a distinction that can be argued for. Having said that, black ambient has been a distinct sub-genre (or should that be sub-sub-genre?) for quite some time: it's darker, harsher, and altogether nastier than the music featured on this recording. Abruptum, Moëvöt, and Emit come to mind as obvious examples.
@@MontyCantsin5 I definitely agree, Dungeon Synth is black metal only by association, but it bears no stylistic association. It's even possible that someone come up with Black Dungeon stuff in the near future...
Just a question, as I'm not familiar with black ambient: isn't it similar to dark ambient (the nastier stuff like Univers Zero's La Faulx) and does it have influence from noise music?
The first sounds so Positive for such a depressive bandname. It is a uplifting piece of art, which conveys strength and hope to me.
Dungeon Synth , a new genre to me .
This album is really great.
I'm enjoying this music.
If my soul ever came from crystals in the depths of the abyss, or if its going back there some day, this is how I feel all over again when I listen to this album.
May you prosper, all who understand that dark solace is perfect peace, and not despondency.
depression cured
The kind of music to get the boys together again for one last D&D campaign
i dont wanna die without a comment on this masterpiece
I didn't know I needed Dungeon Synth in my life.
BTW it looks like it popped on a lot of people's recommendations lately.
listening in solitude, sometimes I wonder why life has arcane moments: change, transformation, evolution. Life is hard, but sometimes it rewards you with moments like this. Thanks for sharing this music.
I can't give it enough thumbs up.
This helps me cope :) it's been a while since I found good cope.
nothing depressive about it, this sounds powerful
nothing depressive nor powerful about it.
@@BarbieChaite there's no accounting for taste
I listen to this when drunk and depressed 😂
This is cool
I think the point is that it‘s "depressive *silence*" the idea that music is so strong that to live in void of it, in silence so to speak, would be a depressing existence
The track “Depths of the Oceans” on this album is awesome. I had no idea this genre of music existed but I’m so happy to have stumbled upon it. Thank you for uploading!
Was listening to something entirely different when I got up had my phone in my hand must of clicked this by accident and SO gkad I did
The first EVER dungeon synth album to reach a million views. What a SUPERB milestone in DS history 👏
For an artist called "Depressive Silence" he has some very warm melodies
Just tooted a number. Got led into this. This is an interesting morning. Got some cream whiskey and cheap beer going down as well. Fantastic composition.
this is literally the most beautiful thing i have ever heard
Dungeon Synth is probably my fav music, thank you for making great music!!
Потрясающие мелодии и очарование особой атмосферы приключений. ❤️
For something called Depressive Silence I find this very hopeful. I love it.
A pesar de su título no lo encontré depresivo sino más bien nostálgico, es como mirar al horizonte y pensar en todos esos lugares que no conoces
Glad to see dungeon synth finally getting some love from internet archaeologists.
my fucking god this hits me too goddamn hard. no one can ever do the atmospheric stuff as good as they did.
Simply an unique atmosphere... Love it!

Reading that i'm listening to the best doungeon synth album, for my first time ever, is special. This music seems to connect some new experiences lived recently
My favorite dungeon synth album. Quite energetic and uplifting for something called "Depressive Silence".
We are to be making it back into the dungeon…. With this one ☝️
When the blooming of computer technology met the creativity of the musicians of the 90s…
After years of hiphop beats in the background I was searching for something more soft and harmonic. Unfortunately, most of typical classical music (I'm german) is not very appealing for me, so I'm very happy to know this kind of music now. Thanks for uploading all these gems DSA :)
close your eyes. dream. fly away to a time of old. fly away to a time of swords, steel, colorful banners, horses and archery. over the years, I constantly come back to this album. It's one of my all time favorites in all of black metal. thanks for posting this again and letting me relive these dreams!

@@blackcheesyghoul indeed, definetly up there with Micheal Jackson and AC/DC

@@Arisawa_Heavy_Ind Don't forget the beatles, best black metal act of the 90s imo
Its always nice seeing this pop up in my recommendations. Whenever I feel my dungeon synth interest wane, its stuff like this that reminds me why I love the genre.
This kind of person I strive to be. Travelling in dungeons, spelunking, destroying monsters by the darkness, saving villages from evil witches. I am not anyones right hand man, i am an adventurer, only my wants of knowledge and interests keep me going
i have found this project 3 years ago and still it feels pretty fresh for me, one of the best dungeon synth projects i know, always listen to that one while working.
Reminds me of the Daggerfall soundtrack. Who knew medieval compositions would sound so good on mid 90's synthesizers
Bless the Light of all those people who came up with all this wonderful music.😍😍😍
The 90's and the early 2000's were the best days for medieval pop culture. Brave Heart, Lord of the Rings, The Elder Scrolls, Shaman's Ritual (brazilian power metal album), Miura's Berserk. In my opinion, these elements created the idea of "middle age" that we have today.
This is probably my favorite dungeon synth album. The atmosphere the music gives off is the perfect ethereal aesthetic in my opinion.
The track forest of eternity literally makes me want to start writing fantasy shit is so beautiful
My gosh, it's a masterpiece.... Just want to wash my memory to listen this masterpiece again, like the first time!!!
Also, you can check my music, I do something similar...
CZcams hitting right with the dungeonwave recommends when I needed it
I don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I found this beautiful piece of music
