Into The Vortex

by Aker

supported by

Ennio PG Atmospheric Mixture of headbanging Instrumental Metal, Progressive Instrumental Rock and Ambient Metal. Production/Mixing is a little too flat for me and is lacking a deeper/wider Stereo Soundpicture. Overall mxing should be like on "Al-Azif". Guitarsound & -riffing is very attractive...it would be magnificent to have it for a couple of my Songs. I give it 5 from 5 Stars for the Music and 3 of 5 Stars for the Mixing/Production. Favorite track: War Blood Death.

about

"Into the vortex" is a musical album compilation of instrumental pieces of various musical styles with a common "metal" thread running through them.
This solo project is rather celebrating the combination of my electric guitar playing with classical acoustic guitar, Baglama, percussions (Derbouka) backed by layers of synthesizers sound ...etc. And that makes it fit for the "non- Metalheads" listeners as well ( may the Devil forgive them ;)

Now, a musical project wouldn't be complete if we were not talking album covers...Artist and extremely talented Illustrator JP Fournier, best known for the Immortal "At the heart of Winter" cover (one I am particularly fond of) has accepted to give his time and talent to an amateur, Yours truly ;) . Incredible as it may sound, I am fortunate enough to have him making a custom artwork for this soundtrack!!!-Thank you-
Where music is a well-known outlet and help to overcome pain and to day dream, if I have riggered your curiosity and you check out the album, in all humility, I hope it helped you dream awake or at least stimulated your imagination. I want to thank all of you who took the time to listen to my music and comment so far. It was great for me to be able to share it !

Not a lot of dungeon synth albums I'm really enjoying. But this is certainly one of them. "Down a Dank, Mossy Stair" made me want to listen to the whole album more carefully. Needle Into A Bug

This album perfectly encapsulates the truest spirit of DS. The perfect manifesto for all of us geeks who have ever wondered about magical lands and impossible creatures engulfed in mystical adventures. In conclusion, this is the most Dungeon Synth album I ever heard! Leries
