Once upon a time, two men had the same idea upon the same week. This idea grew until it had become so dense it was more an entity of its own than a mere thought. A condensation of pure will. Then came a time this idea-entity shared\u00a0it’s mystifying power with these men. Some feared them, some chose to oppose them and for some, they were…<\/p>\n

NNNNNEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDDSSSSSSS!!!<\/a><\/p>\n

One of these two men was Masterlord, and he did deliver unto you writing about Dungeon Synth some time ago<\/a>. At the time I was in the middle of making my own introductory post about DS, without any knowledge of Underlord Cesiumworm’s<\/a>* intents. I decided to to delay mine for his benefit, but it seems to me that the time is now, as more than one of you have at some point expressed at least vague interest towards this genre of greatness. But if you for some reason missed the first edition of Down Into the Dungeon, go read it<\/a> now<\/strong> as I won’t be going through the same stuff about its birth or beginnings, yet this is as much (or more) an additional leaflet meant to be consumed with the first one, instead of its own.<\/p>\n

What I will say though, is that even though the\u00a0our Steeldragonless-semi-retiree showed you the way toward the genre’s classics, there was a severe lack of the Austrian scene, the importance of which we mustn’t undermine. So I shall point you toward these classics, even though many of them are wildly different from many of the “current masters” of the genre.<\/p>\n

These bands\/artists are\u00a0not usually thrown headfirst into the DS genre, but honestly I feel it’s a similar case to\u00a0metal’s endless division of genres. And in any case, their influence on DS is undeniable, even if not as great as some of the Norwegian masters (who are releasing a new, horrid dance\/industrial\/rock album next year, news covered – never need to mention it again).<\/p>\n
