Torchlight – Realms Of Oblivion (2018)

Torchlight is one of those projects that falls loosely under the dungeon synth banner, but is not trying to emulate a sound from a point in time or aesthetically clone the goodness of the early 90s. No, Torchlight is so much more, instead delivering full-blown compositions with excellent clarity and depth of musical scale and talent.

This is more in line with the soundtrack to an RPG computer game, using traditional instruments (or virtual copies of), than it is with some shaky cassette filled with dirging synthesizer atmospherics.
