Cold Dungeon Offerings

10/10/2025

The October Frost has arrived once again. Biting cold, swirling leaves, and a dark, chilling moon. A sample to freeze your blood ...

This little recording appears on the "October Frost" release of Dark Ambient music by Matthew P. Davis. It was actually on the "A" side of the "Drifting..."...

And now, for the first time, the Cold Dungeon will offer music from other artists. Great Lakes Dungeon Siege 2025 offered a taste of the artists playing at their upcoming event. https://weregnomerecords.bandcamp.com/album/great-lakes-dungeon-siege-2025
I loved it. I love them. And I'm privileged to offer DIY copies approved by them in CD form to whet your appetite. Graphics and music are from GLDS and simply assembled by Cold Dungeon Offerings.
All proceeds from this CD will go to them to help with the cost of putting together this Siege and to the Artist Fund to help with whatever is needed.
Dropping at High Noon EST tomorrow, September 5th.

For this Bandcamp Friday, they decided to do contribute to Wildfire Relief. I had some family members out there affected - they are fine, but one lost their home along with thousands of others.
So, something "new" for you ... The Cold's Tears ov Blood, Infinite Winter (Dark Ambient with vocals om some tracks) has found a place to live in some of your hearts, so I made a few tapes with Matt's original graphics and sounds. (I do still thank Gondolin Records for the version they made a few years back).
Here's a few codes for those of you that haven't found it yet:

(Not DS) For Metal Friday we have 2 additions to the Blackened Chapel Bandcamp that holds Matt's early Death/Thrash Metal project from the early 90's. It's startlingly different, of course, but even DS started with the Darkness Within ... deep within the blackened earth, a growling scream arises, guitars and drums squeal and crash ... the rage explodes to its pinnacle ... Will you fall peacefully to sleep, spent and purged ... or ... ?

(Not Dungeon Synth) As you know, Matt had many projects. This is a "Space Ambient" project he did only days after the first Secret Stairways demo back in 1995. I'll be dropping the tape, and a nice discount, for everything on the http://colddungeonofferings.bandcamp.com site on Saturday, Oct 1st. October was his month. 😉

Secret Stairways - Turning Point LP

Originally released in 1999, now on vinyl for the first time.

As if it needed any introduction, Secret Stairways is often acknowledged as one of the greatest dungeon synth artists of all time. None have yet managed to evoke the lush, nostalgic sound of late musician Matthew Davis.

The album title Turning Point may nod to the shift in the project's maturing musicianship. Cinematic soundscapes that summon fantasy film soundtracks of a golden era. Heart wrenching, misty hardware steeped ballads trapped in a time you faintly remember, or perhaps never existed.

The LP will feature two recently unearthed "Myspace" tracks, Arisen and Horizon - all faithfully remastered for vinyl by Jori Apedaile.

A 180g single LP housed in a gatefold jacket which displays all the artwork from the original 1999 CD release, the front cover adorned with gold foil stamping.

100 Gold copies will be available exclusively through Dungeons Deep Records, with the remaining copies on Cloudy Clear, sheathed in a poly sleeve.

We have managed to team up with the following distributors, some of which will be carrying the cloudy clear variant on day one.

Phantom Lure BE
Repose UK
Amor Fati Prod DE
Goatwarex CN
Out of Season US
Vinyl Fantasy US

We are very grateful to be a part of this release, and a special thanks goes out to the many people that have assisted in it's creation as well as the fans that keep this label going. Thank you!
