Kaptain Carbon Much like the tree which lies at the center of the album’s concept and theme, the self self titled debut for this project is not only filled with dungeon synth but dungeon synth transported to the realms of 2525 from the mind of someone in 1975. With space synth anthems and an unabashed approach to structure, this project succeeds just on charm alone. The world is bright and the future is open to this project which I expect nothing less than stellar from in the future. Favorite track: The Descent from the Mountain.

about

There is a tree, and there is a city build around it and into it. Surrounding the city, a wall of massive rocks, made stronger in their presence by the fact that they sometimes are not there, flickering out of this plane and leaving behind craters, and exposing the outer boundaries of the city to the great plainswinds. To the west, mountains - but stay above ground! Treasures may lurk beneath, but few possess the fortitude to survive an encounter with the spiders. And above, a wide clear expanse of sky, sometimes clogged with airborne spores released from the tree. They aren't fatal to come in contact with, but gods help your judgement should you breathe in too many. We keep our masks close by.

Sometimes, there is a sporestorm, and even if every crack is sealed and every face is masked, we still lose hours, whole days, to a dreary half-remembered consciousness. Sometimes we wake up sore or wounded, other times we wake up wiser. Sometimes, we lose friends and fellows to the stresses of sporesickness. This is life under the Mystal Tree, and it is ours.

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
