Forgotten Pathways is a music project that was founded in 1997. It‘s not easy to define the musical style; possible genres might be „Medieval Ambient“, „Dark Ambient“, or „Dungeon Synth“.
The aim of Forgotten Pathways is to create dark, mysterious, melancholy, yet beautiful and melodic music, reminiscent of times long gone by. This is achieved by composing music into carefully arranged, complex songs with evolving structures to (hopefully) create an intensive atmosphere, able to lure the listener unto…well, Forgotten Pathways.
„A Long Way Home“ is the first full-length album of Forgotten Pathways, its release being wholly self-financed. It features complex songs of beauty and sadness, composed in a quasi-symphonic style. Thematically, the album covers old German fairytales. These offer not only tales of a time gone by (and often reaching back much further than when they were recorded by, for example, the Brothers Grimm), but are rich of emotions and symbolism, covering aspects of love, hate, wrath and loyalty, fate and sorcery, war and sexuality. They still talk to us and resonate within us.
On the other hand, while most of the songs of „A Long Way Home“ are linked to certain fairytales, the music allows the listener to associate his own thoughts and dreams, encouraging him to use his or hers imagination and to feed on his „mystic subconsciousness“ (in lack of a better word).
The music can be actively listened to, but also performs great as background music for reading, dreaming or playing fantasy-themed role-playing games.
Founded in 1997, the first release was "Shrouded In Mystery" demo tape. Then, a death-like slumber commenced, which was now
kissed back to life with "A Long Way Home". Intense and mesmerizing Medieval Ambient, unique in its kind.

Old-school Doom/Death from Germany, slow, hard and gut-kicking. Their live shows are also heavily Weinbrand-infused, so that's an additional Pro. Forgotten Pathways

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
