garas 05.22.26	I hope this explains my absence. I spent most of my free time on this album.
AlkemestRedux 05.22.26	Oh hell yeah! Gotta check this out tomorrow.
Hawks 05.22.26	Cannot wait to hear this!
RVAHC13 05.22.26	Right on, I’ll have this queued up for my train ride home tonight
DungeonBoy 05.22.26	pausing the new Dimmu to jam this brother!
garas 05.22.26	I hope you guys will enjoy it! Honest feedback is also welcomed.
Hawks 05.22.26	Gonna jam now!
Hawks 05.22.26	Garas bro, this RULES.
gabba 05.22.26	Nice! I don't think I ever listened to a dungeon synth album before, so here is where I start.
ScuroFantasma 05.24.26	Yoooooo congratulations, gonna jam asap
DungeonBoy 05.24.26	I had a chance to give this a solid spin. Atmospherically I enjoy it a lot! The subtle percussion, blanket of ethereal pads, and lead melodies are very pleasant and it all has a nice hypnotic quality to it. It works really well for the first track or two, however, it starts to become very one dimensional on a full listen. Almost every song has the exact same tonality, instrumentation, and pacing, and I was hoping for something to change enough to hold my attention. However, from a meditative, trance-like perspective its very good, I just wish it were a little more varied and interesting.
mystagogus 05.24.26	While I enjoyed it a lot, I have to agree with DungeonBoy with it being a bit samey in instrumentation. Not that every dungeon synth is expected to be a flourishing festival in vein of The Escapist, but it would be nice to have a little more of variety. Everything else is just great, thanks for sharing!
garas 05.24.26	Thank you so much for the feedback! This supposed to be a long theme, and these tracks are the "chapters". I understand this is not very interesting. I'm glad you still liked it, more or less!
Hawks 05.24.26	I actually love the minimal approach of the tracks. It's more ambient and less grandiose than some dungeon synth, but I think it works. I don't need much variety to enjoy it tbh.
RVAHC13 05.25.26	I like dis
AlkemestRedux 05.25.26	Digging this so far too, very calming and hypnotic
Trundle 05.25.26	Great to see you garas!
ScuroFantasma 05.26.26	I liked it quite a bit, I’m a big fan of the low-key hypnotic style of ds and this felt very authentic and well-produced. Also I love your logo and album art! Gotta jam a few more times for sure but I’ll have it on rotation while I read, perfect atmosphere. Well done Garas!
garas 05.26.26	Thank you so much, guys!! @Trundle: Thanks! How are things? @Scuro: Thanks, your response means a lot! And I'm especially happy to see that you dig the artwork and the logo as well!
DungeonBoy 05.26.26	ah yeah, I should have mentioned this as well, but garas, the overall vibe of the band name, logo, artwork and production are all great! It feels very intentional and fitting and nothing comes across as a half-baked user project. Great work on all fronts!
garas 05.26.26	Aww, thank you DungeonBoy!! This means so much to me!!
