Duello di Cavalieri
or Two Rode at the Rooster's Song
In a time of everlasting battle between the cities of Florence and Siena, here's how they contended the region now known as Chianti: a knight should have left each town by the rooster's song, riding as fast as he could to gain more miles than the other. Well, Florence made her black rooster sing long before the dawn! That why Florence's reknown wine is now called “Gallo Nero” (The Black Rooster)!

Gorga Nera
or Where The Black Spell is Born
There, were the Arno river comes to life and starts proud his relentless run, lies a dark fen known as the “Gorga Nera”. Nobody knows how deep it is, but if you ask paesants and local people, they will argue that's actually the birthplace of any sort of storm, hurricane, flood and other Evil Spells. Oh yes, the terrifying flood that brought Florence to her knees back in 1966...it obviously came from there!!!

Sidereal Fortress Florence, Italy
A surviving minstrel, a trobadour come from the mists of time...
Sidereal Fortress recommends:
from the Dungeon Gentleman, a collection of b-sides and other curiosisties. An artist who has left his mark in contemporary DS!

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

Ritual of Vampyric Blood
by Cefaris
supported by 75 fans who also own “Vette Inquiete”
The same atmosphere as Striborg’s older material. Could be the score to 1922’s Nosferatu or 1931’s Dracula.

For the Glory of Blackholm
by Elder Goblin
supported by 73 fans who also own “Vette Inquiete”
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

Melodic dungeon synth gentle enough for your work day or your game night.
