Owlens - Hidden Empire (full album, 2022)

Welcome to a new edition of Dungeon Synth Sunday on the Order channel, and a new month of artists illustrating our intro banner. This month, we are using the works of Kay Nielsen – a Danish illustrator of fantasy dioramas, landscapes, children’s books, and later in life a Disney artist, from which our first piece is taken – his dark concept art for Fantasia, ‘Night on Bald Mountain’. This eerie, alternate world that could have been, is a fitting prologue to our three albums of the week, which will offer up visions of fantasy lands, unsettling dreamscapes, and distant cosmic dystopian timescapes. We begin with Owlens - a new release from Kajdum’s Tower, sister-label of Hungarian atmoblack imprint NGC Productions.
