You’ve probably gotta go through some stuff to become the Toad King. Mad respect to my guy for making it to the top.

My mom burst into my room the other day while I was playing this at an adequate volume for my preferred listening experience (its easier to achieve the Swamp-trance when the frequencies hit just right). She told me to "stop that stupid dungeon frog music". Ordinarily this would break my trance which is super annoying and makes me yell at her. But lately, as I contemplate the ancient wisdom of the swamp (its the most intricate yet beautifully harmonious ecosystem known to modern science, yet maintains the primordial enigma that attracts all seekers of profound wisdom) I find that my mom no longer holds this power over me. "Mother. Your soul is as dry as the land you identify with. An acrid and desolate expanse shunned by all amphibians. No Toad hops in these barren wastes. All the drynormies around me, they do not understand. How repellant you all are to me. The marshes and the swamps, I feel their spirit calling. My dreams as of late have been so blissful as to defy expression. The little green elemental masters, how they hop and swim. How they croak and ribbit. Ahhh, the children of the wetlands... What sweet music they make." After I said this, I heard some whining and angry shouting about "needing help", something about an institution and suggestions of a most vulgar nature concerning the mating habits of frogs. I was not really paying attention, as one of my favorite bits was coming up. A melodious arrangement which I feel particularly captures the experience of an Inscended Toad Consciousness. I could not possibly expect her to understand. I heard her slam the door, and the fact that it did not break the majestic spell of magic toad splendour is a sure sign that the exalted Amphibiodeus shall consider me worthy of being blessed with elemental power that will allow me to become One with the Swamp. I shall splish and splash, croak and swim, hop and inflate gloriously forever, in the watery domains of Toadin, lord of Swamphalla.

I'm toadally glad I found this. Long live toad synth!

Magic. It's like sitting by the lake, smoking a pipe while gazing lazily at the float movement. Time doesn't matter anymore, you could just sit there.

The first edition tape has sold out but Dark Age will make another pressing available soon with an A3 size poster this time. Thanks for all the support guys, girls and tadpoles!

crrrrooooaaaaaaaak

I lick this very much. I hop they make another album.

"My grandfathers grandfather, Ushbol, lead a decisive victory in the Perch Wars... Kruskal and the Turtle spawn plagued our land for over 2 dozen years in my fathers reign... Now here I sit... Alone at the top, with peace and maintenance... Oh how I yearn for a true challenge..."

This reminds me of a few weeks ago, it rained so much, for two days straight. There's a pond that flooded in a wooded area in the back of the house, i went outside at night and the frogs sounded so happy, i've never heard so many frogs before. Maybe they were welcoming they're king :)

Don't froget to lick and subscribe!

Deep and Bog-pilled.

Love it! This album is totally ribbiting...

i clicked because of the cover art work, and stayed because of the music

HAIL KEK

His majesty The Toad King hath blessed thy ears in the grove of hist magic oak. May his reign be eternal.

A soundtrack of my life. Worthy of a long lived amphibian dynasty.

This one sounds so magical. You should listen to it with headphones. Thanks a lot to The Dungeon Synth Archives for sharing and for the artist of course. You save lives and my nights!

wizards and warriors 2 IRONSWORD, for the NES, 2nd level , you must find the crown and return it to the Toad king in order to fight the LEVEL BOSS

Best toad-related content since the Amphibia TV series. 5/5 stars.

That cover art is fantastic. I don't have time to listen right now but the minute I did hear was great.

True beauty is found within amphibians.

I like how it starts out with that more "medieval" feeling in the beginning and then shifts into an ambient dungeon vibe in the second half.

Praise to he, the toad king.

this is really strangely appropriate to the idea of a toad society living a meter under the deciduous oak forest, praising their king with their croaking language as he places the crown on his head

Evokes memories of early Mortiis and Dargaard, but with a modern touch. Beautiful soundscapes..

Love me some swamp synth

did you upload this on Wednesday on purpose? great album, regardless! :D

Herpetological!

Imagine being a grung. ~This message brought to you by the Bullywug Brigade

There is something magic and nostalgic about this album. It reminds me of the old Mickey Mouse game on Super Nintendo if anyone remembers it.

To all Goodness and Light, people.

I frogot to write a pun.

This remind me a little of orí and The blind forest soundtrack, it's beautiful

This is absolutely amazing, completely envelops the listener to a time of amphibian sovereignity and marshy kingdoms

хочу выразить огромный респект художнику, который рисовал обложку. превосходно!

Yknow I hate that I love dungeon synth. It always makes me tired, like the music is kick ass and all that but damn dude I don’t need to sleep rn

When I hear toads at night I wonder what is being debated and how it will affect my world. Long live the toad king.

впервые я услышал это когда мне было 18, тогда я расширял "музыкальный вкус" и нашел это, сейчас мне 22 и я до сих пор возвращаюсь сюда когда ищу что-то для сна. за это время вышли другие альбомы under oak, но этот все равно нравится мне больше. найти такую музыку сможет только психически травмированный человек в состоянии одиночества, поэтому ты здесь😂

All hail the Toad King

All hail the King!

Makes me wanna roll some fuckin dice

Wow this artwork! Nice music too. I can imagine the life and deeds of the toad king.

its like runescape music but in 1080p (good thing)

All Hail to the Toad King🐢

I am so happy I found this, its so peaceful and magical feeling...♥ Long live the Toad King and his enchanting music. 🐸👑💚🎶

Hail the Toad King, who bring prosperity, rain, food and a calm life to Pond Village. Although hes sometimes hard on his immediates, hes willing to do anything to enrich his people. A fierce warrior and a impetuous student, he ruled our frontline in the Fourth Battle for the River, when we avenge our children who are devoured by the infamous Salamanders.

dungeon synth is the best type of genre. I wish it became a little more popular.

I’ve never played DND but I love to read fantasy books. This is the perfect background music for reading about an epic quest in a mysterious forest 🧙🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♀️🌳✨

Knowing how the genre works this isn't dungeon synth - this is Toad Synth. just kidding, I enjoyed this very much, thank you.

This is INCREDIBLE for Dolmenwood.

Synthetizador batracio👌

now this is what I'm talking about. 🐸

Love the dreamy sound of the second half. Dozing off and waking up after the album ends. The toad king and the enchanting melodies of his halls only a dream.. or was it.

One of the greatest DS albums of all time

Frogot about it! Like a good rib it be! Hail the toad king!

Beautiful 🌺

this is a masterpiece of an album. perfect worldbuilding soundscapes.

This track has elevated me and my thoughts and I feel absolutely free

This is the album that got me into dungeon synth. Well, I’ve been listening to the synth Burzum albums for years, but this really opened up the world of this kind of music for me.

This randomly popped in my KZfaq and I'm grateful that it did 🐸

I feel like this album kicked off the whole subgenre of frogsynth

This is beautiful, toadacious even. Hails! \m/

epic toad-core music

Als ich das Cover, sah dachte ich hier kommt etwas großes. Aber was hier kam war etwas viel größeres. Ein Meisterwerk, Vielen Dank.

Toadaly rad dude.

cannot wait to trip on mushrooms and go to toad world

This is how autumn sounds like

This was gorgeous and absolutely, absolutely beautiful music. I felt, I went in a magical forest 🌳 and found toads 🐸 city around a oldest tree full of toads doing normal things. It’s great when just want to listen 🎧 or reading a book 📚 . Thank playing these pieces of music.

First track is the greatest from this tracklist. Especially from 2:03

Oh no I'm toading!

The mystic toad 🧙🏻‍♀️

Nice, I will listen this when I play Medieval Dynasty

First listen: Meh, it's okay I guess. (shrug). Now, on my seventh or eight listen, I'm a little obssesed. That final track is a masterpiece...not of just this genre but of any music I've ever heard.

A souvenir from a saint. Sell me a ride. Anyone I’ve met in my life. I’m a very accomplished person. 😂❤🎉

If you go watch the video from Mastodon "Asleep in the Deep", you get to see the Toad King in action...and a pretty badass cat!

Great toad-ariffic tunes!

0:19 this part is literally the intro to "don't leave me" by blackstreet and now i can't hear anything else

"When the toad came home" Someone out there has too get the reference

Not the playlist i expected when i opened it randomly, but definetly what i needed. sounds so good

Love the work from Tales Under The Oak. Can't stop listening to it... and the audience asks for more!!

Mmmm, o comfy frog. Bless me with thine melodies!

This is the most positive KZfaq comment section I’ve ever seen. Just discovered dungeon synth today

Absolute beauty!!! wow….. totally lost in the hymns what a adventure to listen and go on earthly walks meaning like getting lost in the woods soaking in nature and all it’s hidden treasures thy eyes can behold one’s that some no one’s ever cared to look up upon or over look sometimes treasures are in plain sight find yourself by yourself I say and yourself will guide u the way of these adventures u never thought u could have all by yourself getting right with one’s inner self and finding who u are may the journey begin!¡?¿..

Leaving the Frozen Swamp Kingdom is absolutely epic

I was fascinated listening to this. Completely captivated. You could say that I found it totally ribbiting.

Toaday I will listen to dungeon synth :)

I don't know how the algorithm decided that this should appear on my recommendations but I'm happy that it did

4. Ruler's Crown 15:12 made me cry of joy for some unknown reason...

This is one of the best dungeon synth / ambient album I've heard in a while. The last track is outstanding. Really made my day.

The new album to play Rana in Songs of Conquest just dropped

This reminds me the ancient era of FinalFantasy Saga 🗡️⚜️🎼

Rising from humble tadpolian beginnings, he was destine to be king.

My mom loves this, she asked me to tell you because she doesn't have her own youtube account.

Best one in a while imho

I dont know how this ended up in my recommended, but im glad it did :)

Can't wait for the 7th song "Entering Mr. Slaves Foreboding Tunnel".

Such fantastic visuals are coming to mind while listening to this. Not hard at all to imagine a story being told.

Very good. Thank you frog spirit. This came through the recs and I listened in full without investigating. Was placing this as a hybrid of Amazonian Kambo Ceremony meets 00s gothic fae synth meets the 70s psychedelia that always graces my feed. If I’m wrong I don’t want to be right! Wait… 2021?! #HadronColliderSynth

LONG LIVE THE TOAD

I listened to this while kayaking in the fog at a lake, the surrounded by thick woods at dusk and it was magical...
