This compilation is the result of a game. Each participant suggested a theme, and our pilgrim drew them from a hat at random. Each theme was its own ticket to another world, pulling artists into new worlds and confronting them with new stories. Here, then, is evidence of those stories, retold in each artist’s individual style. Each chapter, its own forced march.
Look, now! The stone street beneath you swirls. A poison of your own choosing, or an accident? And then, on the horizon, flickerings of a catastrophic eruption to the west, even though Westward was always known to be flat. Then in your disorientation, the smells and sounds of an eastern city, but only steps away from you. Now you have a soul other than your own to care for - what shall you do with this responsibility? Last, you may be pulled from your body, a soul departed for a spirit realm while the body waits in a hazy place. These songs are pages, these pages are steps, and where shall these steps carry you.
On ancient pathways on moonlit nights, under the capstones and in the tombs, in the shadow of the standing stones, here dwells Cromleck. Truly an exception in the DS world, moving, chilling, and sincere. the mist that surrounds Cromleck is cold and ancient. Song of the marshes
I started to listen to Pendragon at the same time I started reading Arthurian literature. I think it's one of the best book-album combos I've found so far.
A must for every medieval DS listener. Ropp
Its beautiful cover artwork and being a scandinavian creation with a - at the same time - foreign and familiar album title, opened the gates for me before I even heard the first note. The beautiful melodies took me on a journey, and with all songs having a soothing speed, it is a perfect background music for working, painting, or simply relaxing. It is worth - by the way - to check the song titles, for they tell a story that you can fill with your imagination. Johan
Hattiesburg, PA's Gaze Into The Void finds the soothing within the haunting on their latest dreamy dark ambient album. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2022
A great 22-minute work in which you can taste different atmospheres. In some lugubrious spots, in others almost baroque, Follow the ghost hand is a masterpiece. Complex and rich, it must be listened to several times to be appreciated. Andrea Bartuz Isutra
