Sunrise on the Old Kingdom

by Skhemty

supported by

Werna Wolf The sand and the heat and the sumptuous sights of Ancient Egypt strike your mind's eye right from the very first notes of this masterpiece of an album. The gorgeous artwork perfectly sums up the atmosphere Skhemty has created to bring the listener back to another time and space, with simple yet efficient Byzantine melodies, traditional instruments and the parsimonious use of well-crafted sounds that make the places evoked in the tracks almost palpable. Beautiful!

Memories of Arda
by Haryon

supported by 11 fans who also own “Sunrise on the Old Kingdom”

The much expected follow-up to the first EP by Haryon is now finally out. This comes not only as a masterfully played Dungeon Synth tribute to Tolkien's world, but also, as expected from Murgrind, a highly orchestral, masterfully composed soundtrack for escapism and reveries. It's rare, especially in nowadays scene, to find such a sincere and well thought musical experience - because this album transcends mere DS and becomes an unique take on the genre, like most Murgrind releases manged before!
