Welcome to the Dungeon Synth Guide! I'm Nick, your host, and this is my blog where I post dungeon synth I've heard and liked, and sort each release into various sub-types. The main home of this guide is actually on RateYourMusic.

What is dungeon synth? Dungeon synth is a form of electronic music that came into being in the 1990s, taking influence from various sources—most commonly pastiches of medieval folk music, progressive electronic, ambient, and RPG soundtracks. Dungeon synth was frequently performed by musicians within the black metal scene, especially in its early days, so much of it has ties to black metal as well. It was easy and inexpensive to put demos on cassette tape by hand, and cassettes remain popular among fans to this day. The genre nearly died out in the mid-to-late 2000s, but interest in it was renewed in the 2010s due to the Internet making music discovery and sharing much easier. With the barrier to entry regarding producing and publishing one's own music lower than ever, a vibrant community of dungeon synth enthusiasts has emerged—one in which some preserve the traditional sound of old-school dungeon synth while others push the envelope to test the limits of the genre. You can browse by sub-type here. You can browse by country of origin here. You can browse by decade here. Reblogs are tagged with "reblog." They are tagged with "potpourri" if they aren't specifically dungeon synth related. If you're into fash/NS shit, you're not welcome here. Fuck off!

dungeon gal, what is your opinion on dungeon synth?

It's okay! I'm not the biggest fan but like idk there is something charming about a musical genre built entirely around those dinky keyboard solos from early black metal and with the aesthetics of old-school role-playing games. Musically most of it doesn't exactly set me on fire, but I realize my sample size is very small admittedly and I'm certain I would find something I liked if I looked further.

Druid Grove Theme from Baldur's Gate 3 but make it metal af ⚔️🤘

Fully obsessed with this game, and when I'm not playing, I'm blasting the awesome soundtrack.

So I made this ridiculous thing, old school Mortiis kinda dungeon synth vibes. Enjoy, I hope!

Ok y'all I decided I am going to the gym. I took a bath and feel refreshed. And being ADHD, unmedicated for it, I don't currently feel the concentration to practice yoga. The stairstepper is simple, plain, structured, easy. I'm wearing dark blue polka dotted leggings, plain washed out black v neck shirt, and dark blue cardigan with my dark green neck warmer. I brought the white gloves, newly washed. And of course I'm wearing my light grey new balance sneakers. I don't think I will ever buy another type of shoe. This is my third time buying these particular grey sneakers. They are comfy and great. I wear them with everything. Even if I had a dress to wear, I'd wear my sneakers. For awhile I was posting kawaii pink, blue, white, and black dresses. Its fun to daydream about being super kawaii, or fairy kei. Even elegant gothic Lolita. When I was in highschool I loved the band "malice mizer". Mana, the vocalist, is how i learned the elegant gothic lolita look. The songs are part Japanese and English, tho mostly Japanese. Sometimes throughout my life I listen to music in different languages. My other favorite singer is Henri Dekongue, who sings mostly in different language i don't understand. He is so jolly and warm. But lately I don't listen to music much. For a long time I was very interested in dungeon synth and instrumental music, piano very much. My fave band is probably secret stairways and tangerine dream. For a period of time in my life when I stayed at my rapists apartment the room would glow blue with his fish tank and id play "boards of Canada". I enjoy that band alot. When I was in my teens my favorite bands were Jack off jill, hole, and most of all the Dresden dolls. I even performed an art piece on stage with the Dresden dolls and kissed Amanda Palmer on the lips once at a show. I asked her permission, but I believe I was only 17 or 18 years old lol. She wore striped white and black stockings at nearly every performance. So in high school as much as I could I wore striped white n black stockings with a fairy shredded black skirt, or frilly black skirt. I remember cutting my arms because of her song"bad habit" which is about self injury. I don't think she's a good role model and I'm a bit peeved she used to be my fixation/obsession. I also tweezed each of my eyebrow hairs out one by one, and drew them on with liquid black eyeliner. Like she does, or did, but I'm sure she isn't OCD like me and just shaved her brows off like a less ocd person would. Alright I'm about to go to gym now. Thankyou for allowing me to share. I hope this is a safe place for sharing. Love y'all!
