The Castle Above The Mist

minus9 The whole album, again, is of superb class! The tremolos, the fades and the intersecting and juxtaposition of melody lines are just divine! I am a proud supporter of Wydraddear and will continue to pay attention to his tasteful creations 🦇

baboonsandmoons There is no project like Wydraddear. Untouchably good world-building and atmospheres. Favorite track: The Wise Sword Tells No Lies.

Kaptain Carbon The Castle Above The Mist embraces the depressive atmosphere of dark ambient and other classic dungeon synth but still clings to a structured sense of consonance, which in turn transforms it into a ghostly dance among the departed. Add to this the popular style of a monochromatic album cover and one could see a future tape run that would beg for more than 30 copies. Favorite track: Cursed Wisteria.

Meatbreak A richly detailed album that unfurls an evocative narrative of interweaving drones, foggy ambience and ancient mystery that feels as well-worn and lived in as the most fabled tales, handed down through the mysts of time. A vintage-sounding instant-classic that has immediately gone into my favourites of the year., Favorite track: The Wise Sword Tells No Lies.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
