Southern Grim by Bitter Old Wizard

AM-0021

Pro-tape release of newcomer Bitter Old Wizard featuring eerie, chip-driven synth, misanthropic, and melancholic tracks to fuel old school gaming sessions, D&D campaigns, or delving into your favorite Dragonlance novel. This album spans a range of themes and sensations, at times delicate and winsome, such as the piano-driven tracks “My Discomfort Grows” or “The Morning Star”, to eerie and dark soundscapes reminiscent of nostalgic dungeon crawlers of yore.

First Edition Limited to 50 hand-numbered copies. Came with 1.25″ logo pin and patch. Second Edition limited to 50 copies and did not include the badge/pin or patch like the 1st press.

“Got this for free from the artist via a code he gave away, and was hooked from the first chord.”

“Another great demo from Bitter Old Wizard. The two tracks here show two different sides of the Wizard. “A Wizard’s Shuffle” is an enchanting yet ominous track with occasional dissonance suggesting forest synth and lo-fi atmospheres. The Casting Tree has a very doom-y feel, evoking a Wizard tired from his journey and feeling outcast by a world that neither understands him nor his magic. The pitch modulation adds to this atmosphere and builds on previous releases. HDK, Acheulean Forests, and Embers of Tara influences here. Looking forward to more. 4/5.”

“Great lo-fi dungeon synth!”
