ELRIC - The Eternal Champion DELUXE EDITION LP with bonus 10"
ELRIC - The Eternal Champion DELUXE EDITION LP with bonus 10"
SPECIAL DELUXE EDITION Splatter vinyl with extra 10" and big artwork poster. Limited and numbered to /100 with Japanese OBI.
A dungeon synth love letter to Michael Moorcock's ELRIC series... Sword and Sorcery at it's best, the Eternal Champion series are considered a cult classic. Out of Season and Phantom Lure are proud to present the long-awaited reissue of this musical RPG tabletop classic, 8-bit dungeon synth relic. Includes all three ELRIC releases on one vinyl LP.
These recordings already hark back to 2016-2017, back when the dungeon synth was just a few lone crawlers in a tavern or inn. Yes, for the O.G.'s in the scene, these Elric recordings are considered "classic" and further more, these early Elric demos were featured in Bandcamp's pivotal article "A Guide Through the Darkened Passages of Dungeon Synth" By Robert Newsome on March 30, 2017
"It’s safe to say that fantasy literature and role-playing games (the tabletop and the video variety) loom large in the world of Dungeon Synth, and Elric expertly combines both of them. Inspired by the chiptune soundtracks of games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana as well as (obviously) the fantasy novels of Michael Moorcock, Elric’s music is the perfect soundtrack to crawling through (16-bit) alcoves, searching for abandoned potions and treasure while trying to avoid the hungry ghouls hidden in the shadows.”
But wait, there's more!
This special deluxe edition comes with an exclusive bonus 10" by HAWKMOON - only available in this special deluxe edition. This includes both HAWKMOON EPs "Dorian from Koln" and "The Runestaff" by the same artist under another "Eternal Champion" guise. These HAWKMOON recordings were never officially released but served as "hidden" bonus items when ordering the original, self-released Elric cassettes. Out of Season and Phantom Lure have now made these public as a special bonus 10" for the deluxe edition of this collection.
