TheWanderingCathar The quest for iron, Barbarian sky, The fight in the wilderness, Ancient gods, The wizard plan, Under the spell, Yeah, so these songs all knocked my socks off, the rest of the album blew me away, the entire thing is the cherry on top, the crème de la crème. Absolutely scrumdiddlyumptuous!!! Favorite track: Under the spell.

SpeakingBeast The final track alone is worth the price of entry - Gnoll strikes again with another outstanding album! Favorite track: Cro-man opening theme (bonus track).

Loïk Very good work for any fan of the 1982 movie Conan The Barbarian.

The mighty soundtrack of Basil is well done honoured by Gnoll.

Crush your enemies with this melodies! Favorite track: The quest for iron.

numy1448 From the opening track "The Quest for Iron" to the bonus track(a glorious tribute to Saturday Morning cartoon serials),Gnoll serves up a gorgeous and evocative Barbarian soundscape...both a fitting homage to the work of Basil Poldouris and a masterwork on its own. Favorite track: The quest for iron.

Paths Peculiar It's a beautiful and unique dungeon synth tribute to the Conan soundtrack. Another great album by Gnoll.

red_flanagan Gnoll's best. Hail Cro-Man! Favorite track: The quest for iron.

about

Thousand and thousand years ago, when the planet Earth lay savage, ruled by mighty monsters and arcane spells, human tribes lived scattered over its surface like stars in a nightly sky.

In that dark age, the name of the bravest warrior of all was... CRO-MAN! He was chosen by the elders to go on the quest for iron, a mysterious substance which the old Gods had left behind after the defeat of the Giants, and the creation of the world from their flesh.

Drag yourself back to the bronze age and taste the mighty power of the barbaric hero called... CRO-MAN!

- - - - - - -

Welcome to the new GNOLL album, entirely devoted to the strength of humanity's primal heroes. This album will transport you to an age when our land was young and incredibly wild, an age when unknown forces and immeasurable fears shook the events of men and gods. An age of mystery and grandeur: the age of CRO-MAN!

This album was born from the barbaric collaboration between Heimat der Katastrophe and Underworld Muscle, forge of heroes and demons! Underworld Muscle produces vigorous action figures according to the taste of us kids of the 80s. Enjoy Underworld Muscle productions here:

Underworld Muscle asked Gnoll to write the soundtrack of the adventures of Cro-Man and Gnoll accepted the challenge: under the tutelary deity of Basil Poledouris and John Milius' Conan the Barbarian (however inferior in strength and grandeur to Cro-man), Gnoll held the instruments as if they were a primitive battle axe and composed the 12 tracks of paleolithic and barbaric dungeon-synth that you can listen to here.

The CRO-MAN cassette contains the entire catalog of CRO-MAN action figures so that you can taste their power and perfect musculature. With the first 80 copies of the cassette, you will receive also the mythological comic book of Cro-man for free!

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
