Sigma-8

We at Doomcore Records are proud to present the 1st release by Sigma-8.
And it's also the premiere for a new style: Dungeon Core.
And it's best that he explains this new creation by himself!

Artist: Sigma-8
Location: Chile

Release Title: At the Dungeon’s Core

Track 01: Lemuria Asciende
Track 02: Falx et Draconis

Genre: Dungeoncore (fusion style between Doomcore and Dungeonsynth, using mostly ¾ time signature)

Style: Dungeoncore, but in this particular case also with dark-electro-industrial, newbeat and melodic blackmetal influences.

Context: Dungeon Synth is lo-fi fantasy synth music, a style that branched from early norwegian black metal. There are some recent styles like Keller Synth or Tanzelcore, from the german dungeonsynth scene, which try to blend dungeonsynth with a techno/gabber approach of arranging tracks. But, in a very poorly produced, raw style with little resemblance from the actual Hardcore Techno sound.

If keller/tanzel sound went for the necrocheap norwegian approach, dungeoncore is instead swedish meloblack in its approach, aiming for decent production, melodicism and indulging in ¾ time signature. Hence, it also has a different spirit, of creating a futuristic yet arcane mystique and epic, where doom and hope meet in this paradoxical sound realm. Also it is more -core than -synth, because, as in 90s hardcore techno and newbeat, it uses more stab samples rather than actual synths.

That’s why I call this style “Dungeoncore”.
