Dave Aftandilian Love the feel of this album: creepy and all-enveloping visions of faded grandeur, building a beautiful netherworld between dark ambient and dungeon synth. Spectres stalk the halls of the once-opulent palace from which the living have long since fled. Ornate multicolored tapestries fade to blackened tatters, and a thick purple miasma settles like a living shroud. Deep in the mist shadows writhe, forming and reforming, awaiting their chance to crawl forth and remake the world.

Grey Wanderer Just an amazing piece of work and was most probably my album of the year last year. Old school DS done properly!

svetishte1998 One of my favourite dungeon synth artists is treading the more dark ambient ground on this one; with DS elements appearing as a reminder of the kingdoms now buried yet not forgotten.

Also, the CD digipak looks wonderful. Favorite track: The Fallen One.

about

The third album by the enigmatic Old Tower titled “The Last Eidolon” tells a sombre story of a kingdom laid to waste by its own creator through the corruption of dark magic and possession of destructive spirits. Because of wrongful decisions, spiritual rebellion and the misuse of ancient yet dangerous practices these malevolent forces started to turn against the enchanter. And so fell his once proud and powerful dominion. What was once great has now been reduced to a hollow manifestation of its old self. The long and weary process of reclaiming its former glory has begun...

Throughout the “Grim Alchemy” trilogy, smithed in conspiracy with the mighty Hospital Productions, The Specter meticulously crafted his own style of medieval dark ambient. “The Last Eidolon” is an elongation but also a new direction of this concept and will take the listener on a desolate journey spanning three, long chapters. Faded memories of a dark past will shimmer in and out of existence throughout these epic compositions yet the energy of renewal is flowing from the fountains of the old kingdom.

Profound Lore is proud to present the album on this earthly plane in two different editions. “The Last Eidolon” will come on luxurious double vinyl and compact disc formats and comes with extensive artwork, all richly illustrated and curated by The Specter himself. To get the full effect of these spells they were mixed and mastered by Arthur, the Eternal Champion.
