Desolation Plains - The Pillars of Ruination (full album, 2023)
“A foreboding sky hangs over the ancient citadel of the Wyvern Order, perched majestically on the formidable Skah-drol mountain. Amidst the darkness, bolts of crimson lightning crackle, illuminating the craggy path upward….”
So begins our final journey into the realms of Dungeon Synth this Sunday, through the latest adventure from US artist, Desolation Plains - The Pillars of Ruination.
An immersive, vividly detailed soundworld of nostalgic fidelity melodies, “frost-bitten arpeggios, forlorn filters and mystical oscillations”, explorative rhythms, and an atmosphere of intrigue, perilous questing and noble heroism.
The fifth release from this project plays with a similar world of tones, deepening the character and experience of these fantasy lands that feel as though they stretch before you in lucid detail.
