by Shogun's Castle

supported by

hallowvirtue It's among the very few selections I've ever found that correctly brings a foreboding ambience without loud disruptions. Favorite track: Righteousness (義 gi).

reb1138 Excellent samurai-synth. The kabuki ambient influence really shines through. Favorite track: Courage (勇 yū).

Heihachi Strong, serious and savage.

about

"The Eight Noble Virtues of a Samurai" is a concept album inspired by ancient medieval Japanese lifestyle and Samurai code of conduct. It speaks of forgotten virtues by which men led their lives and fulfilled their duties in the realm of mortals. Musically and stylistically, inspiration comes from kabuki theatre music and old Japanese koto folk music.

Fantastic release, a unique blend of dark Ambient, neo folk, traditional Nordic music with a touch of neoclassical elements as well. Honestly have never heard anything quite like this, and they manage to make it all blend together seamlessly to create a truly epic listening experience. Thomas
