coreyTLW amazing album, hard to pickup a favorite, cuz all songs are great, amazing return by Queen of Dungeon Synth Favorite track: The Hecate Prophecies in your Cold Throne.

An Goblin powerful, intense, and deeply moving, with complex and intricate arrangements and a broad range of influences. one of those albums where the detail will keep revealing itself over time, a very rewarding work of art. onoskelis really bringing the fire and rain.

ancientmeadowrecords Happy to finally hear this triumphant return to music after more than 25 years since the last Onoskelis demo was made. This album is grandiose and imposing, replete with all of the embellishments of high-end production and arrangement. This album defies any genre, but instead draws upon many inspirations including neoclassical, new age, dark ambient, dungeon synth, and more. Favorite track: Constellation of Triumph.

spaceseer Massive in scale, yet remains an aural spiritual journey for the listener, who is surrounded by heavenly voices both caring and benevolent. An incredibly important experience that grows beyond its genre labels. Onoskelis is a true visionary. Like listening to all of the ancient sites, bright to their prime and in one cosmic, starlit expanse. Favorite track: The Golden Temple of Onoskelis.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
