Dungeon Weed
*80 copies limited edition* "Dungeon Weed" is a minimalist fantasy-synth/new age album, but also a 28-pages comic-book which you will find inside the cassette case. Behind the name The Story Of Khelise lies a French artist who, in the dual role of cartoonist and musician, created this fantasy album/comic for HDK. The Story Of Khelise's enchanting music will transport you to a world of soft colors and dazzling lights: free your mind and prepare to travel on the wings of imagination. For lovers of…
Nightmare Realm
In a forgotten age, on a vanished continent, the Nightmare Realm cruelly thrived. Warlords shared power over barren and arid lands, massive armies of heavily armed soldiers guaranteed a fragile peace under the sky. Everything in this unfortunate world had a sinister aura, fear was the dominant feeling in the heart of every creature.
Today (fortunately!) even the memory of this distant and gloomy world has disappeared. In fact, there are few historical testimonies that have come down to us from t…
Le Segrete Del Castello Nero
In the ancient forests of Central Italy, at the time of the late Roman Empire, bloody pagan rites took place, leaving the land imbued with dark omens; in the dark centuries that followed, sorcerers explored that past and built their knowledge on the most sinister legends, entrusting it to forbidden books banned by the Christian Church.
In 15th century Italy, in an era known as the Renaissance, lovers of esoteric knowledge studied those cursed volumes and disseminated their contents among scholar…
Electrical Storm At The Micro Station
We are immensely pleased to welcome into the HDK catalog Mr. Graham Simpson, a champion of electronic music who was hidden in his little house up there in the north east of England. It is reductive to place Graham's music under a specific tag because he is able to release amazing albums in any genre or subgenre that can in some way be traced back to the definition of electronic music. Albums like this “Electrical Storm at the Micro Station”, which will surely make rejoice the lovers of old recor…
Faer The Wanderer
Here we go again: Gnoll is back! The brutal dungeon-synth ensemble was this time involved in a collaboration of epic proportions called… Faer the WandererFaer is a Conan-esque character specifically invented for HDK by the English writer John Reppion (co-author with his wife Leah Moore of masterpiece comics such as Albion and Wild Girl, fresh from collaboration with... Iron Maiden!): Faer the Wanderer is a tribute to the glorious heroic-fantasy paperbacks of the 70s, but with typical vibes of th…
Last Guard Of Honour
Concept focused on courage and defeat, as grandiloquent as it is introspective, "Last Guard of Honour" collects all the material produced by Sir Sagremor between 2021 and 2023: epic and romantic dungeon-synth that acts as a soundtrack to bloody battles and heroic exploits.
Beneath The Violet Kingdom
"All throughout the realm of Farûm's Corners, hushed whispers of an emerging plague called The Violet Decay are spoken by it’s citizens. Four adventurers leave the safe walls of Oldminster and travel to the eastern kingdom of Sothiril to investigate..."

Starlight
Tip!!! We already met Steven Grace with his crepuscular electronic soft-rock album entitled "Eleventh Hour" (HDK 119), now let's get to know him in his most traditionally “kosmische” guise called LOGIC GATE.
Wandering through the desolate lands of the net, under the label of "electronic music", we casually came across Steven's music thanks to the his Logic Gate albums. Our first reaction was: how is it possible that such sweet music is relegated to such a dark and invisible corner of the world w…
Mörk Borg
2024 Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and flood.…
The Curse Of The Ancient Abbey
Edition of 300. * Deluxe LP edition with Obi + Extensive Booklet + RPG module w/map! * A few months after the success of "The Cave of the Lost Talisman" the chaotic little humanoid called Kobold had already composed a second album. We've all wondered: will it live up to the previous one? Will it be a killer album? Well... it was! The formula had remained unchanged: the love of early 80s role-playing games, the sounds inspired by 8 and 16-bit video games from when we were kids, a solid and compel…
Tunnels & Treasures
The first three Basic Dungeon albums re-released on a single 42-track CD with a 20-page booklet! The "Tunnels & Treasures" saga collected on a single CD
Disarmo o Sterminio?
Tip! From the dusty archives of a TV station, a handful of instrumental pieces, originally recorded as musical commentary for a series of historical documentaries. The topic is the Cold War: the areas of influence, the balance of power, the threat of the Third World War, the dream of a future of peace and unity.
Ritmo Eccezionale
BMKH sifts through the swamps of our past to animate a Frankenstein-monster made of memories we hoped we had buried.
Trollpietra
For some time now, a strange music has been resonating in HDK's headquarters; a music where dungeon-synth, house and techno rave meet in a blasphemous yet juicy cocktail... The caves of the Trollpietra are a sordid and unhealthy place, inhabited by creatures of the night and strange homeless spirits. Trollpietra caves were once the laboratory of a mad herbalist who distilled magical potions which he sold in the county black market. Before dying, the mad herbalist hid his most incredible and dang…
I Maniaci di Los Angeles (They like to kill) O.S.T.

The short story by F. Chevron and A. Shreds that inspired the movie is included in the tape. Originally published in "Night Pleasure" adult magazine, 19XX.
Caverns of the Yogi
An ancient relic of chthonic music. Meditative ds, for a spiritual journey into the dungeon of your soul.
"One of the manifestations of the absolute is that in sound form. Audible sounds are divided into three levels: in the first you can hear the sound of thunder, or a waterfall, or ocean waves; in the second the sound of a drum or a bell; in the third of a small bell, or a flute or even the buzzing of a bee. The yogi must overcome these levels by using those sounds to stop the wandering of his…

The Lost City

The Citadel Of Evil
After Kobold, another half-human dungeon-synther took its place in HDK catalog: here's the barbaric... Gnoll! Beware the powerful percussions, the blows of icy and sharp sounds, the brutal attack of analog synthesizers! This first release of Gnoll is the the soundtrack of an epic descent into a dungeon populated by weird creatures and unfathomable threats. Gnoll is devoted to the visionary and bloodthirsty 70's heroic-fantasy literature, overflowing with baroque magic and arcane mystery, to Lin …
