Francis Roberts is a solo artist from San Diego, California that plays a mixture of dungeon synth, dark ambient and neo-classical and this is a review of his 2019 album 'Guardian Beast Sleeps" which will be released on May 31st by Akashic Envoy Records.
Synths start off the album and also add elements of dungeon synth onto the recording that go back to the early 90's Norwegian era. Programmed beats are also used quite a bit throughout the recording along with some bell sounds also being utilized at times as well as the tracks also mixing in elements of dark ambient.
The synths also bring in a variety of many different sounding keys which also gives the music a lot more diversity. Touches of neo-classical are also added into some parts of the recording while also being mixed in with a more modern musical style along with all of the songs sounding very different from each other and most of the tracks stick to an instrumental musical direction except for the closing track that adds in some clean vocals.
Francis Roberts plays a musical style that takes dungeon synth, dark ambient and neo-classical and mixes them together to create a sound of his own while also keeping most of the music instrumental and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Francis Roberts is a very great sounding mixture of dungeon synth, dark ambient and neo classical and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Guardian Beast Sleeps" "Time Stops Tomorrow" "Waiting For Nothing" and "Luminous Eyes". 8 out of 10.
