Mystical Alexis Bardicbroadcasts brought me, stayed for the deeply pleasing aesthetic Favorite track: Cold sweat, barbarian blood.

bechthold My absolute Favorite from HDK.
Heard nothing that gets better the Mood of old Sword and Sorcery Movies and Rpgs.
You can almost see a Barbarian crawling through some Dark Dungeons in a World thats long Lost while listening to this Album. Favorite track: Somewhere, in Lost Lemuria....

waughtron666 Fucking ace dungeon synth of truly epic proportions. This one really takes you on a journey through dark and dingy realms. A bit short, but overall, that's a small squabble for synth work of this caliber. If I had a Damn tape player, I certainly would have snagged a physical copy! Favorite track: Desecrating the sepulcher.

Barbarian Skull В рядах HDK прибыло! Встречайте, Thongor - эмбиент-проект, посвящённый одноимённой фэнтезийной саге Лина Картера о приключениях варвара Тонгора из клана валькаров, и вдохновлённый эпическими музыкальными полотнами Бэзила Поледуриса, Карло Мария Кордио и саундтреками к играм эпохи ZX Spectrum. Гудящие аналоговые синты, воинственные барабанные ритмы и чуточка эпика - всё это переплетается воедино и на выходе получается невероятно атмосферный саундтрек для приключения в жанре «меча и магии». Favorite track: Gems in the dust.

The Reaper's Preacher The tape literally came wrapped in enough toilet paper to clean up the crap they assumed it would scare out of the listener. Favorite track: A mausoleum in the fog.

about

A barbaric hero of the Sword & Sorcery silver age relives in this new release of the Dungeonostalgie series by HDK! He's Thongor, the Conan-esque character created by Lin Carter in the late 60s and protagonist of a short comics series published by Marvel in 70s...

O=={===============-

"His doom in the eye of a skeletal king" is a jewel of barabaric dungeon-synth music inspired by the soundtracks of Basil Poledouris (Conan the Barbarian) and Carlo Maria Cordio (Ator, Endgame, L'ultimo Guerriero, Anno 2020: i Gladiatori del Futuro) with ancestral and bewitched atmospheres.

O=={===============-

"At the time of this tale, Thongor of Valkhart was still a young warrior of the black hawk tribe and lived on the shores of the great northern ocean called Zharanga Tethrabaal. This story tells about the young Thongor's first encounter with death, fear and doom, when he saw his destiny written in the hollow eye of an ancient Lemurian king who has been dead for thousands years. There Thongor saw a great and terrible doom at the same time: he could see himself projected into a future of glory and death"

Thanks to Lin Carter (1930-1988) and his powerful imagination.

"Spectre of Valkarth warrior" is inspired by the Commodore 64 videogame soundtrack BARBARIAN by Richard Joseph. "Ruins of a distant future" is a tribute to the epic-metal band MEDIEVAL STEEL and his omonymous song.

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly
