Pauldron

I thought this was fun: in the book "A rough guide to heavy metal"(2005) there was a small section on black metal mentioning mayhem and satyricon etc, but a larger section for Mortiis and his dungeon synth. Anyway, a fun book to flip through at parties to choose the next song. #dungeonsynth #mortiis

Some DS-related tourist pics from Hungary⚔️✨️ #budapest

The mallsoft tune Spacemart provisions from my sideproject Niloxian Protocols was inspired by this burger joint in the point and click game Space quest. #spacesynth #spaceambient #mallsoft #vaporwave

Pauldron tapes at the local record store Jukebox😎👌 "Too ancient to be holy" released by @sokol_keep_ds #blackmetaltapes #jukeboxålesund

Just got my copies of the album which I'll sell at local record store to keep things lively here. Big thanks to @sokol_keep_ds for making this happen!⚔️👑 #blackmetaltapes #blackmetal #norwegianblackmetal

Happy Friday from a sunlit trio practice session, with a healthy helping of the nectar of the Gods. The glowing one that looks like viking mead is actually a mango flavored beer which is popular in Norway🍻⚔️ also, the bass player is doing some caveman music theory🦖 #dungeonsynth #rolandjuno #yamahareface

Here's a Swedish classic. Been listening quite a lot to this album lately and two things that surprised me was that he used programmed drums on all albums, pretty obvious when you know. And that he pretty much sings like the Crash test dummies in Swedish👑🗻 #vintersorg #tillfjälls

Speaking of ancient, here's a throwback to the early 2000s when we were recording black metal just for fun - before everyone could selfpublish whatever they wanted, we usually just shared mp3s with friends and burned CDs. Inspired by darkthrone and emperor. This project still exists and is called Mosegrodd. #norwegianblackmetal

Here's a loop that's based on the song "Parade of the crocodile army" form Curse of Niloticus. Looping with the boss rc-5⚔️💸 #darkambient #dungeonsynth

It is my great honour and pleasure to present an advance stream of the conceptual rebirth and a ferocious new evolution of sound from the artist behind the epic fantastical dungeon synth worlds of Under a Reptilian Moon, The Curse of Niloticus, Swampkeep Triumvirate, and more Behold, the dawn of the black metal form of @pauldronds - Too Ancient to be Holy! From a place beyond the swamps, beneath silvery moonlight, in the flickering flames of shamanic shrines, the mighty Pauldron is born anew, through the coursing energies of ancient magic and charmed relics, into a terrifying creature of raw thrashing terrors, bellowing with a fierce malevolence and hungering ecstasy to begin a new era under a coldblooded reign. A limited edition of cassettes, clad in the awesome artwork of @mtsky.jpg will be spawned by @sokol_keep_ds tomorrow, 27th March. Keep your eyes on their socials for the drop! Stream it on the channel now through the link in my bio. #pauldron #sokolkeep #blackmetal #blackenedheavymetal #blackenedthrashmetal #rawblackmetal #norwegianblackmetal
