Wraith Knight is the newest innovation engine from Nick Superchi, our conductor from the PNW. It's a cleverly executed foray into the wilderness of synth, a genre dominated by sounds from artists whose name is synonymous with the phenomenon, such as Mortiis, Lord Wind, Pazuzu, and Wongraven. The difference in this exercise in acute transformation is how subtle and on-theme the album feels, because in the end, that's the key to how successful one's dungeon synth experience is; the artist must convince the listener that they're transported to an alien environment, a medieval one, that inspires visions of dragons, magic, swordfights, and monsters that lurk in the dark corners of the world.
