HDK 05 † The citadel of evil

by GNOLL

supported by

ninetongues An instant classic. This is one of the two tapes that got me into Dungeon Synth. Just look at that cover! Favorite track: Old school dungeon crawling.

Sasha De'ath On the ground is a bloodstained note: "14 gnolls ahead - RIP Hrulf". Favorite track: The skulls... speak!.

rocketredfern harpischord, organ, drums and synth conspire to ensnare the feckless looter in what can only be described as a citadel of traps for the classic dungeoneer...hiring the services of a master thief will be essential to see your way out alive Favorite track: The face with the knotted tongue.

about

After KOBOLD, another half-human dungeon-synther took its place in HDK catalog: here's the barbaric... GNOLL!
Beware the powerful percussions, the blows of icy and sharp sounds, the brutal attack of analog synthesizers! This first release of GNOLL is the the soundtrack of an epic descent into a dungeon populated by weird creatures and unfathomable threats.
GNOLL is devoted to the visionary and bloodthirsty 70's heroic-fantasy literature, overflowing with baroque magic and arcane mystery, to Lin Carter, Karl E. Wagner and vintage Marvel comics based on characters by Robert E. Howard, as Conan and Kull.

O===[====================-

"The Citadel of Evil" is the soundtrack of the homonymous OSR module for "Strange Magic" RPG, an old school dungeon crawling classic written by Stuart Robertson and edited in italy by Dungeoneer Games & Simulations (www.dungeoneer-games.it)
Module in ITA here: www.terradeigiochi.it
Module in ENG here: www.drivethrurpg.com

O===[====================-

Another unmissable release in the DUNGEONOSTALGIE series by HDK, for those who still love to explore the dungeons as they used to do in the Cold War era.

Very relaxing,it evokes a fantasy land... like a distant and ethereal vision of an old elven town lost in the ancient, misty woods... I am not familiar with Ursula K. Le Guin yet but makes me want to check it out! Roquemaure
