The Garden Of Abandon:
I.The Summer Queen
II.The Winter King

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (who were later known as the Pre-Raphaelites) were initially a Seven member group of English artists that rejected the modern art doctrines of their time. Influenced by Romanticism and often choosing to focus on Medieval, Shakespearian, and Arthurian themes, they searched for a beauty they felt lost and sometimes laughed at by their contemporaries. They held a deep reverence for the natural world and a strong belief that freedom and responsibility were inseparable. It was a common practice amongst them to instill multiple layers of symbolism into their works such as the mythological and metaphorical interpretations of flowers and plants. This album is a dedication to them and an absolute rejection of the ugliness of our current times.

“I mean by a picture a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be—in a light, better than any light ever shone—in a land no one can define or remember, only desire—and the forms divinely beautiful.” —Edward Burne-Jones

A masterpiece of dungeon synth. Discovered this gem recently through the dungeon synth archives. There's lot and lots of great dungeon synth just waiting to be discovered but i feel this one is the foremost gem to be found. a high marker of the genre as a whole, the tone of the album fits the epic saga that is Silmarillion. It's heroic, beautiful, brooding and sorrowful just as J.R.R. Tolkien's greatest literary work. Exile of Atlantis

Nachtkrieg
by Forgotten Land/Uruk-Hai

supported by 10 fans who also own “The Garden of Abandon”

The 29:39 long Uruk-Hai track "Blood Of Heroes" is a formidable bit of ambient music. It's not particularly "dark" in tone, IMHO, but awesome. The Forgotten Land tracks are of various styles, but make for an interesting listen. mudshrimpmoe
