Scythe - Weeping Blade / Dungeon Trance

Well this one is a nice surprise. Travis Egedy makes an unexpected return with his Scythe alias, this time in a form of a two track single for NY-based Mechanical label. While his debut album "Candlelit Descent Down The Initiation Well" was a wonderful dungeon synth project (that ended up on my best of 2021 list), "Weeping Blade / Dungeon Trance" is a change of mood and tempo from the beatless Magic the Gathering OST to atmospheric, chillout-like vibe. There's still an element of ethereal beauty and menacing ambience there, but overall the release feels like a new direction for this project. I dig it.

You can purchase the single here, and stream it below.
