Topographia Hibernia

by Scriptor Hiberniae

supported by

Wound of Briccius A nice, short dungeon synth album that mixes in medieval elements. Topographia Hibernia brings out feelings of nostalgia for the days long past, as well as a sense of morbid curiosity. Whenever I listen to it, I feel like an 11th century English scholar reading about the far off, mystical land of "Ireland". Overall, an album I definitely recommend! Favorite track: King Henry II.

about

Topographia Hibernia (Topography of Ireland) is an account of the landscape and people of Ireland written by Gerald of Wales around 1188, soon after the Norman invasion of Ireland. It was the longest and most influential work on Ireland circulating in the Middle Ages and its direct influence endured into the early modern period.

Cover art is Henry II on his throne.

I started to listen to Pendragon at the same time I started reading Arthurian literature. I think it's one of the best book-album combos I've found so far. A must for every medieval DS listener. Ropp

Summit Strongholds
by Sequestered Keep

supported by 8 fans who also own “Topographia Hibernia”

Old school, dark, dreary, and yet majestic. The cassette version even gives it that true old school touch. Easily a classical in the DS community. Summit Strongholds is a great, shorter album by Sequestered Keep, and it maintains that sense of "dark sublime" that I really enjoy. Check this album out, you surely won't be disappointed.
