I woke up today to an amazing story on Pitchfork: Numero Group to release Dungeons & Dragons Inspired Compilation, companion board game
That is just a whole bunch of wow. Numero trolled a bunch of 70s-era obscure rock bands, for songs that seemed inspired by high fantasy.
“This music hails from an occluded realm, somewhere just beyond the pot-addled minds of its creators. Lyrically, the Darkscorch Canticles trifle with themes most grave: crippling fear, pagan hostility, paranoia, power addiction—even necromancy. Satan’s name is openly invoked, alongside Sauron’s. These worried, warlike Canticles occupy a miniscule niche in the American underground of self-released rock, but their appeal is more broad today than in any previous era.”
There will also be a companion D&D-esque game called Cities of Darkscortch. Gosh darn I’ll want to play that!
Go with yourself.
