the master binds his apprentices through black magic and one of them must die each year. With the help of love, Krabat fights to break the mill's spell and reclaim his freedom. All this is told through a beautiful minimalist DS soundtrack with raw, crashing BM elements.

Behekste musically reimagines Otfried Preußler’s »Krabat«, a haunting tale of an orphan of the same name drawn to a mysterious mill deep in the marshes of Koselbruch. There the boy uncovers a world of darkest sorcery:

Digital release: October 15, 2025.

Absolutely incredible!

A phenomenal debut and one of my absolute favorite releases of the year so far.

Emeth's »Heroic Epics Cycle« is a beautiful debut, rich and heavy in atmosphere with strong medieval vibes and instrumentation. Solemn and whimsical, it doth awaken wanderlust and a deep yearning for epic quests. Surely, we've just met a most gifted bard we shall surely hear from again!

These are the roots from which Gilgareth grew. Everything we create still carries a spark from those early days when imagination and friendship became magic.

Yesterday we came across some old DSA character sheets, tucked away in our parents’ attics for more than 25 years. Seeing them again was like opening a window to the very beginning, back to the evenings spent around the table, dreaming up heroes and adventures, their small victories and mishaps.

Before we set our minds on new material in the coming moons, we have delved deep into the dungeons of our back catalog. We unearthed a scroll bearing magic codes to complete thy inventories with releases from past campaigns. Those swift of hand shall claim them first: gilgarethcodes.neocities.org

We bow in awe before the great illustrator of our childhood, the master of the magnificent mustache, Uğurcan Yüce, who brought to life the covers of our favorite pen&paper RPG, »Das Schwarze Auge« (essentially the German version of Dungeons & Dragons and the foundation of all Gilgareth lore).

Beonfîrn lies at the northernmost edge of the Middenrealm, nestled between dark forests, the Finsterkamm mountains, and the mist-choked Nebelmoor, in those harsh lands proudly called Schildlande (the Shieldlands). ⚔️🛡🌲

The effect is hypnotic: time seems to stretch, and you’re carried forward as if on a slow-moving current. When the last sound fades, you’re left in wonder, as though you’ve just returned from a distant, dreamlike place.

Pressing play feels like stepping through a thin veil into a quiet, ghostly space outside the living world. These tracks carry a refined, solemn beauty: small, delicate melodies threaded through with a graceful sadness, every note revealing its own vulnerability.

Thank you for choosing our legendary OGERHEIM™ #synthesizers!

Epic, droning, uplifting, melancholic – everything that made Magic Hilt’s tape series so great is here: The album plays like a huge questline and by the end, you feel battle-worn but triumphant, standing at the gates of a newly won castle. This is the kind of record you’ll value like a prized sword!
