The Sacred Creed of Devotion and Purpose

by Shogun's Castle

supported by

MarsDragoner An ominous and foreboding album, Shogun's Castle once again revives ritualistic devotion seeped in a threatening and ancient aura. The combination of Japanese instruments and the general approach and ambiance of dungeon synth works wonderfully to transport the listener into perilous realms. In terms of storytelling this album is an impressive accomplishment as well, it is quite easy to conjure up an interesting journey through the different scenes. Favorite track: Wisdom (叡智 eichi).

about

"The Sacred Creed of Devotion and Purpose" is a third installment of Shogun's Castle, a japanese folk-synth album based on Koto & warrior drums, dedicated to the 10-fold path of sacred and forgotten virtues. Like its predecessors, this work also draws inspiration from the old ways of Japanese samurai-warrior masters and students, with the intent to channel the philosophy of living and conducting oneself in the modern world of decay and destruction.
