Grackle What a debut! In line with the album title, this release boasts a balance of tracks. From dark and brooding pieces like dark castle (a real evil wizard anthem) and ancient weapon (a tense and ambient feel) to lighter pieces like Traveller’s Rest, you are offered an array of atmospheres that all still blend pretty seamlessly between tracks. All of it is done with nice melodies and there’s some interspersed percussion that gives a impact when used. Favorite track: Dark Castle.

An Goblin beautiful album this one. it feels like a soundtrack to a film you only half remember, or maybe it was just a dream? take the artist's advice: put on some headphones, get comfortable, and let this lead you where it will.

Toskri Do yourself a favor, follow the suggestion of closing your eyes and following with this album takes you. It is a fascinating journey, following the trail laid out. Truly meditative and exquisite! Favorite track: Dark Castle.

Tristan Feilla Blade of Kino's Balance effortlessly balances captivating melodies with ethereal textures and pads that pulse and hum with mysterious energy. I haven't been this impressed with a debut album in quite some time. A must-listen. Favorite track: Dark Castle.

about

This is my debut EP. It took a lot of time to get to this place and I couldn't be more proud of how it turned out. I would not have been able to create this work without the support of my partner, my sister and the Dungeon Synth community. It is truly a blessing to be surrounded by people who want you to succeed.

This album has a dual meaning. The first is balance. The album would have not been made if I didn't have balance. I needed to navigate relationships, school, work, volunteering and art. It's important to me because finding balance has always been very difficult for me in the past. The album has become a reflection of my self growth over these past couple of years.

The second meaning is about my intention for the audience. It is meant to be played front to back with your headphones on and your eyes closed, in a comfortable position. It was written as a meditative piece. Trust that the music will guide you into another world. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
