Siege Golem – Rises Above The Walls (2023)

June 29, 2023

Through a download code that was kindly shared by a friend I had the pleasure of being introduced to the world of Siege Golem, a project that walks the lines between dungeon synth and video game music. It reminds me a bit of the Kobold project, only updated and more varied in a set of a final boss themes.

There’s all sorts of different vibes going on here, which is nice to see from a modern DS project, as some of which can be accused I think rather fairly of being rather one dimensional. Some Siege Golem tracks have additional programmed percussion and odd vocal tracks, which is a nice touch. The whole thing sounds like it’s buried under a layer of time and dust too, which is just lovely (not in the Revenant Marquis sense, more in the “this cassette tape is a bit dusty” sense).

Tidy darts.
