ALPESTRE [remastered & rebranded]

Wound of Briccius The remastered ALPESTRE album is short, but full of nostalgic sweetness. Sidereal Fortress conveys the feeling of having your emotions and memories bound to a specific location and landmark. Each song speaks to you and speaks through you. If you like both Dungeon Synth and Neofolk, look no further. Favorite track: Queen of the Snows.

about

An EP about the Alps and Nostalgia.... ❄

<========]==o

PLEASE, READ BEFORE YOU LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD:

This is not a new EP. I recorded these tracks more than one year ago as IL GENERALE INVERNO, for the "Alpestre" split with esteemed friend and composer Burgen (burgen.bandcamp.com).

Listening to them today, I find out how much this bunch of songs are close to folky Sidereal Fortress stuff than to what I did later as Il Generale Inverno (ilgeneraleinverno.bandcamp.com).
This is the reason why I finally decided to rebrand my part of "ALPESTRE" with my main monicker. I obviously still enjoy this stuff, but I feel it like an actual Sidereal Fortress EP.

The version I'm uploading here is exactly the same as pressed on the DungeonIt Collective's CD edtion only (dungeonit.bandcamp.com/album/alpestre-split), digitally remastered by the Argesh Studio in Florence, Italy.

Fell
by Båvingr

from the Dungeon Gentleman, a collection of b-sides and other curiosisties. An artist who has left his mark in contemporary DS! Sidereal Fortress

Follow the old path
by Arcana Liturgia

Classy album from a Dungeon Synth legend! Production is at the highest level if compared to the rest of the scene, and even songwriting has notable qualitative peaks (tracks #4,#5 and #7). Get it now! Sidereal Fortress

Realm of Seers
by Morphic Sun

The one and only project which seems to have definitely assimilated Sidereal Fortress' approach to DS and taken it to a further level. Respect! Sidereal Fortress

For the Glory of Blackholm
by Elder Goblin

supported by 71 fans who also own “ALPESTRE [remastered & rebranded]”

I picked up the whole serpent sword discography and while there are quite a few amazing albums, the two by Elder Goblin are my fav. EG is the master of tone riding somewhere between crisp digital and blown out lo-fi. Genuinely impressive work. Can’t wait for new releases Big Big Jambo

Ellribjǫð
by Elder Goblin

supported by 70 fans who also own “ALPESTRE [remastered & rebranded]”

Elder Goblin is the master of tone. This is one of those artists you can’t get enough of and find yourself desperately searching something similar. Both releases are creepy and butter smooth. Fat-ass tones paint an impressionist (and impressive!) landscape of fuzzed out darkness. Headphones highly recommended Big Big Jambo
