This is my favorite of the Fief albums, and probably my favorite dungeon synth album ever. It captures a certain kind of nostalgia I don't find in much other music. Other dungeon synth has nostalgic vibes, sure, but this one feels like it's specifically pulled from a forgotten memory of my own past. Medieval Breeze is my favorite, with the catchiest melody I've heard in the genre so far! I find myself plucking it out on my mandolin from time to time, I just can't get it out of my head!
This music is so much easier on the ears than other names in this genre I've come accross. And the Tolkien overtones just add that perfect mental image to the music. Also the album art reminds me of some of the black metal bands I love
10/10, a glorious album from beginning to end. Would try to convince Stormbringer that maybe feeding on the souls of intelligent creatures isn't a sustainable practice again.

I felt it was kind of "dull" (I mean that in the KINDEST way 🤷🏽♂️) at the beginning when I first heard it, but then it just got better as it went, by the end I really liked it. I will now listen to it a second time; thanks OOS, AWESOME stuff 👍🏼😎 6:15
