about

๐Ÿฐ๏ธ The Dungeon Steps ๐Ÿฐ๏ธ

Bxkrug brings us the unexpected fusion of dungeon synth and dubstep, known as the "dungeonstep" genre.

In this boiling mixture, forlorn dungeon tones blend with evil wobbles hearkening back to the underground days of old-school dubstep. Various spices of other electronic genres are occasionally sprinkled in for the most potent brew. This is a sonic potion that is meticulously crafted and ready to explode!

For those who haven't listened to old-school dubstep and are only familiar with the popular, bro-party music that became known as dubstep, we urge you to check out some of the dark and underground dubstep of the 2000s.

๐Ÿฐ๏ธ From the artist ๐Ÿฐ๏ธ

For in that place I heard those sounds
those dreadful tones and notes
that pounded on the ground
that echoed off the stone.
Such love does then accompany
when once more I return
again beneath the sky
again amidst the ferns.
