Time for a non-metal album, this is one of the DAP releases I've managed to find, Valor from Raisio Finland. This cassette album came with a neat slipcase on it and an insert which I've also scanned. I didn't scan the slipcase fully as I feared it might break, sorry 'bout that. Some of you guys might remember the man behind this, Tommi Rantanen, from such metal bands as Vordven, Forever Winter, Nightside, Uncreation's Dawn and still nowadays Impious Havoc.
This tape album contains just over 30 minutes of dark ambient soundscapes split into six tracks that are quite distinct and carry a strong dungeon synth vibe, at least to this listener. Song titles like "Neverseen Depths and Dungeons" and "Sorrow Walks the Forest Path" certainly scream the genre. The rip sounds good, there are a few places where minor imperfections mar the listening experience but this should not be too distracting, mostly occurring during the last track. There are no real vocals, only some vocal-like effects used in two tracks, this is completely synth sounds. Recommended for people into this sort of material.

Many thanx mate! A DAP release is always welcome!
@Panacea:
You're welcome! I am still on the look for several of them - quite hard to find as they were very limited.
As someone say in metalarea, any relation of this band with vordven?
Could be possible??
Marvelous stuff, this. In the post-Sunn O))) age, this qualifies as metal as anything to my ears.
Brilliantly conceived and played. Any more o' that DAP stuff would indeed be welcome, to parrot Panacea.
@anonymous:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Tommi Rantanen, the guy behind this, is the same as on Vordven (and a couple of other bands, notice how he mentions Nighside on the inlay credits - he used to play with them). Should add that to the text I suppose.
@kingpossum:
Yup, I definitely still want more DAP material!
This is great, thanks a bunch.
@Andrew:
You're welcome! I need to check out Til Det Bergens Skyggene you feature on Dungeon Synth.
Thank you for taking the time to rip and post this.
TR.
