In fact TWENTY tracks here NONE of which are not up to scratch. Lots of variation present, but yet all in strict coherence with the underlying theme-which is something akin to 'the howling' of something so close yet so far away-in this case the conquest of a new land. Truly remarkable compositions/musicianship from these FRENCH 'dungeon synth/dark ambient/techno' artists which teethes with experimentalism and a real honest conviction, drawing from a love of early 90's black metal bands like Burzum and Graveland.

If anything a 20 track compilation geared towards to spread of dungeon synth in far off places should be reason for celebration. The fact that the majority of this music is successful and engaging is just additional reasons to be joyful.
Favorite track: Cromleck - Die Liebe Nerþus (hommage à Burzum).
Rvine Novvelle-France est un collectif d'artistes (Dungeon Synth/Dark ambient/Dark Electro) provenant des fières terres gelées du Québec, défunte Nouvelle- France. Par la richesse des mythes et légendes entourant nos vastes contrées boisées ou nos fortifications vétustes d'un temps révolu, cette terre inspire en elle même le mystère, l'aventure et la romance de jadis...
D'Europe sont venus les conquérants à bord de nefs voilées pousséss par les vents vers l'inconnu. Les braves colons hardis, coureurs des bois, soldats et artisans furent abandonnés par la mère patrie. Les spectres de ses bataillons oubliés flottent encore comme des ombres rampantes sur les ruines du passé.
Les rares descendants de cette Race de héros et de vaillants résistants, peuplent encore les étendues boisées et enneigées de ce pays...Voués à disparaître comme les ruines de ces remparts qui, de jours en jours, perdent de leurs pierres...
Ceci est leur dernier témoignage...
Voici: RVINE NOVVELLE-FRANCE!

Notre fief musical québécois ne se limite pas seulement qu'aux frontières de l'étiquette Dungeon Synth mais ouvre ses horizons à d'autres expérimentations, ce qui ne plaît guère à l'élite putride de Dungeon Synth d'internet. Car voyez-vous, certaines compositions, contrairement à beaucoup trop de projets DS, ne sont pas un masturbatoire à la Mortiis Era 1. Nous sommes uniques, de vrais artistes et provenant seulement du Québec.
En espérant que pendant l'écoute, ce recueil sécrétera énormément de dopamine dans votre cerveau.
bon rêve.
-Seigneur des Rvines
Novs sommes légion,
Novs sommes le rêve,
Novs sommes l'élixir de votre condamnation éthérée et
Novs sommes les spectres de la novvelle-France.
Rvine Novvelle-France is a collective of artists (Dungeon Synth / Dark ambient / Dark Electro) from the proud frozen lands of Quebec, defunct New France. By the richness of the myths and legends surrounding our vast forested lands or our antiquated fortifications of a bygone era, this country inspires in itself the mystery, adventure and romance of yesteryear ...
From Europe came the conquerors on board of veiled ships pushed by the winds towards the unknown. The brave, bold colonists, runners of the woods, soldiers and craftsmens were abandoned by the mother-land. The specters of her forgotten lost battalions still float like creeping shadows on the ruins of the past.
The few descendants of this Race of heroes and valiant resisters, still populate the wooded and snowy stretches of this country ...Cursed to disappear like the ruins of these ramparts which, from day to day, lose their stones ...
This is their last testimony ...
Here is RVINE NOVVELLE-FRANCE!
-Tan-KI, Chien de Feu
Our Quebec musical stronghold is not limited only to the boundaries of the Dungeon Synth label but opens its horizons to other experiments. That hardly appeals to the putrid elite Dungeon Synth of the internet. Because you see, some compositions, unlike too many DS projects, are not a masturbatory Mortiis Era 1. We are unique, real artists and only from Quebec.
Hopefully during listening, this collection will secrete a lot of dopamine into your brain.
Good dream.
-Seigneur des Rvines
We are legion,
We are the dream,
We are the elixir of your ethereal condemnation and
We are the specters of new France.

Santé à vous fiers artistes de RN-F !
(Hail to you bold artists from RN-F!)
This album was the one to get me fully addicted to dungeon synth. Love the distinctive sound from Kobold's music that could easily be the soundtrack from some retro dungeon crawler game. Geigudr
Medhelan does not disappoint! Having listened to two other releases from the same label, I had some pretty high expectations for this album and Medhelan smashed them all. This is such an atmospheric album that easily paints a vivid story in your mind. Resonance
