Cromworx
Cromworx
The Cromworx debut album is easily one of the best medieval dungeon synth releases ever - varied and captivating, with beautiful melodies and sophisticated compositions that remind the listener of bygone times as well as fantasy settings and role-playing game soundtracks - a must have not only for fans of Fief, Pazuzu or Die Verbannten Kinder Evas. The album contains previously unreleased early keyboard attempts (he really calls them attempts!!) of the Orkrist keyboard player. Out of these compositions some songs were adapted for Crom's primary band Orkrist ('Sword and Sorcery' from the album 'Reginae Mysterium' from 2002, 'The Fall Of Gil-Galad' and 'Grond', from the album 'Grond' from 2003, and 'Where The Knights Sleep, Undying' from the album 'Artefacts Of Life' from 2020). The songs from the original Cromworx set remained untouched for 22 years and were authentically recorded only in 2022, on a keyboard with 1.44" floppy disc mechanism and no professional production in any studio. Apart from minor re-arrangements and a few added vocals the songs remain in their original form. Fans of medieval dungeon synth should not miss this album, as it offers 52 beautiful and magic minutes of some of the best music in this genre! The CD comes as collector's edition in 6-panel digipack, limited to 500 copies.
