Fordomdags by Örnatorpet

From the deepest recesses of our collective memory comes “Fordomdags”, the latest creation of Sweden’s leading dungeon synth artist, Örnatorpet.

A reverent ode to the days of yore, “Fordomdags” emerges as an anthology of forgotten sagas and mythical narratives, each track a portal to realms ruled by enigmatic forces. As the wistful chords echo through the annals of history, they invite listeners on an ethereal voyage into magical soundscapes where folklore intertwines with the spectral resonance of forlorn melodies.

Founded in Borås, Sweden, in 2018 by a solitary artist with no musical training but an affinity for atmospheric sounds, Örnatorpet has become a cornerstone of the Nordvis pantheon. Drawing inspiration from the majesty of nature, Scandinavian folklore, and the nostalgic undertones of video game music, Örnatorpet melds dungeon synth with the spiritual fervour of black metal.

Listeners have lauded Örnatorpet for revitalising the dungeon synth genre, venturing beyond imitation to create distinct auditory worlds that evoke vivid, immersive visions. “Fordomdags” stands as a testament to the project’s ethos – music that is both a homage and a personal revelation.
