Today’s logbook entry:

 From the dungeon of our ship the keeper of the ancient flame has risen to enlighten dark outlands with his stellar wisdom. But while frequently being tagged as such, Old Tower has left only some traces of the “dungeon synth” features, that now dominate a huge part of the genre. On “The Last Eidolon” LP you won’t find Casio keyboard improvisations over lots of tape noise, which resemble at times soundtracks for early gaming consoles. The album is the scoring to the nightmares you would expect to have, after spending a few weeks in the dungeon - and only here and there majestic medieval themes shine through the claustrophobic walls of darkened drones.

Thanks to Profound Lore this dark ambient beauty received a gorgeous gatefold vinyl packaging including a slick medieval booklet.
