Ancestral

Preston Cram A wonderfully understated album that doesn't reveal the depth of its songwriting until the fourth or fifth playthrough. Ancestral has remarkable character too, and it feels imaginative and magical without dipping into the well of medieval European themes like traditional dungeon synth. A welcome change of pace. Favorite track: Cave.

Yawning Druid Very spiritual dungeon synth that will transport you to another time and another place. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm looking forward to more from Altar. Hopefully a full length release is in the near future. Favorite track: Tribe.

Dan Capp Rômulo has a unique ability to create escapist, spiritual music. I only wish this was a full-length.

Kaptain Carbon Altar is not a strict dungeon synth record rather it takes the sound and mixes it with new age and dark ambient with a tribal theme to offer something incredibly unique and inspirational. Perhaps it is just the fate of this creator to keep doing different things which open new chapters for others. Favorite track: Tribe.

Forest 05:42
The hunter painted his face majestically, then went to the forest to wait for the night creature. Patience and awareness overwhelmed him.

Tribe 04:30
The Vine of the Dead ritual begun and only silence was capable to describe what happened around the fireplace in the tribe's square.

Cave 05:37
She looked at the cave entrance and plunged into the darkness. After hours crawling through slimy rock tunnels, she returned to the light stronger than ever.

Encounter 09:07
The shaman went to the beach and listened to the wind, then after a while, staring at the horizon, he saw the giant canoe-like figures coming over the waves. He knew everything would change...
