Flight of Icarus, by Marsyas Zskin

Flight of Icarus

by Marsyas Zskin

supported by

Kaptain Carbon This 90 minute epic invokes the Greek mythology with neoclassical dungeon synth that is not content to guide on passive sound. This is the second release from the artist who is continuing a layered journey through mythology that succeeds due to craftsmanship as well as a daring notion to push the sound in new directions. From the first few notes of “Visions of Bright Aether,” the tone of Flight of Icarus is one of active challenge. Favorite track: The Luminous Chariot of Phaethon.

flies the coop
by Hole Dweller

supported by 19 fans who also own “Flight of Icarus”

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

Mournful Melodies of Ophior's Grotto
by Dungeontroll

supported by 17 fans who also own “Flight of Icarus”

What a beautiful way to send off this amazing project. I love dungeontroll a lot and I am sad to see it go. However, this album being the end is as great of a closer there could be. Probably my favorite album in dungeontroll’s immense collection. Evergreen

flies the coop II
by Hole Dweller

supported by 17 fans who also own “Flight of Icarus”

My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition. Joshua Laleina

Vandalorum is honestly just incredible, every album I listen to blows me away. There's such a unique sound to each track, and I think it pushes the genre in an innovative way. Somehow Vandalorum wrangles all sorts of sounds into a cohesive masterpiece and I'm always in awe. Grackle
