Elffor ‎– Dra Sad III (Beneath The Uplands Of Doom) (2019)

February 17, 2021

Its hard to embody the spirit of the early Mortiis releases without completely ripping them off. This is done with varying degrees of success, but Elffor’s Dra Sad III, my first encounter with the project, manages to weave the vibes of those early 90s dungeon synth masterpieces into tapestries of their own.

Dra Sad III, with the full title of Beneath The Uplands Of Doom, evoke longform, dense ambient soundscapes, with the right balance of ingredients between composition and aural form. This is, as with many other releases of this nature, perfect for RPG gaming or D&D sessions, or for reading dusty tomes about forgotten lands. Hard to beat.
