How do we deserve Old Sorcery? I was already in love with the sound of this dungeon synth act, but this is on near flawless level. Huge portion of the true old-school epic dungeoneer spirit, brewed with the sweetest Berlin school electronics and neo-classical majesty. (And bits of neo-folk too!) My biggest problem with Dragon Citadel Elegies is: it's just f*cking 38 minutes long; how could my addicted spirit consume enough from this?! In the top3 of 2022, easy!

As with seemingly every Old Sorcery record I check, this will join the collection of greatly grafted DS records that I'll happily come back to. This one feels extra well made from the get go. Track 1 is amazing with nearly solo ?flute creating a great ambience, then joined by voices and harp. Sublime. The intro to 4 is extremely cool. Otherwise I don't really want to pinpoint to particular sections as the album is a well constructed and very dynamic journey to be experienced in full I feel. My only two gripes are that the closing track is perhaps a touch overlong for what it offers, and the sort of weird Dingo pictures boing boing sound I was making with a ruler on the edge of a table in school (I know you dont if anyone's reading this but I know what I am talking about) which is the only downside featuring on 1, and which comes back in a couple places, most porminently 3:30 on 4. The overlong closer dropped this a point to a still very healthy 4.0

At times Dol Gulduresque ominous, at other times Shire-like joyful, and often Minas Tirithesque epic, Dragon Citadel Elegies is an all-around great dungeon synth record that carries a lot of classical music and Berlin School tropes in its cinematic formula. Constantly great but didn't wow me either.
