SEREGOST "Verses of a Silent Bard" cassette tape (lim.50)

Limited to 50 copies, co-released with Gondolin Records.

The odious relic was secured, taken from the Halls of the Nameless King, that unnamed figure who once ruled these desolate, fog-shrouded lands; its evil radiated outward, and seared the soul of any who dared get too close. Unable to take proper respite and comfort from his previous encounters, the man known only as The Wanderer journeyed further, his Order instructing him North, beyond the Valley of the Darkwood, into the Frostmont, the snow-draped lands bordering the ice-tipped peaks of the Godspine. It was there he found a castle, and within its unholy walls were rumored to be the "Verses of a Silent Bard".

The local folklore tells of a bard long ago who discovered new methods of the Telling. He was loyal to his king, and to his land, yet through his study of Musick, it is said he unleashed a vile pox upon the people - his own kin. Growing ever more paranoid, the king ordered the bard silent, however the dire energies gained by utilizing the Fell Tones poisoned the bard's soul, and the castle and surrounding countryside began to change - to corrupt - into monstrous and decrepit facsimile. It was the Musick to blame for summoning the creatures of the Void, and it was the bard's hubris to blame for not ending his studies and preventing doom.

Having no alternative, the king then ordered the bard to be Silenced - a ritual entailing death both mortal and spiritual. The tales end thus, with no recounting of the aftermath of the kingdom in the Frostmont, and it is toward this foreboding castle the Wanderer now makes his trek.
