Dungeon Synth, A Long Introduction | Esoteric Internet
The sound of the ancient crypt (and some synth as well). #DungeonSynth
CORRECTION: At about 38:44, I mixed up the creators of Cherry Cordial and Derbyshire. Jon Rosenthal is behind Cherry Cordial. Zak Kiernan is the creator of Derybshire. The two have collaborated previously on the Belgian label Phantom Lure.

How do you know when you have a new music genre? When it involves dragons, masks, church burnings, video games, grandma’s cottages, tiny mice, and dinosaurs. Dungeon Synth is more a genre that ceded from a hazy borderland of older genres. An outpouring of ideas old and new followed. It is a descendant of Black Metal, but is also not. Dungeon Synth equally emerged in spirit from the German Krautrock. It is a uniquely disputed and controversial genre. That may be required with a genre that evolved out of synth intros and interludes. Dungeon Synth is one long interlude still in development or the liminial space of music.
In the depths of the Internet, it was the quill of Andrew Werdna which brought Dungeon Synth to life. Though, it was more like necromany. The Dungeon Synth blog developed the idea of Dungeon Synth (or DS) from the established corpus off ambient artist like Mortiis, Burzum, Wongraven, and even Summoning. All artists controversial for their own reasons (one much more than the others). It was a development in both musical philosophy and philology though. Soon, Dungeon Synth was spoken into existence with artists like Lord Lovidicus, Erang, Vinkaldr, Chaucerian Myth, and many more. As synth genres returned to prominence, mutations of Comfy Synth and Dino Synth soon stumbled forward. Is there a mystery in the depths of this dark dungeon?
This is (one) rough genealogy of Dungeon Synth and some quirky offspring.
