Warlock Corpse at Drugstore in Belgrade on September 17 - dungeon synth from Kazakhstan recorded on tape and performed by one man

Warlock Corpse performs in the Dark Room of Belgrade's Drugstore on September 17 at 20:00. Tickets are around 740 denars, making it one of the cheapest concerts in the club's autumn programme.

The project comes from Kazakhstan and works in the dungeon synth genre, with traces of raw black metal. Dungeon synth is a niche where the music is built on cheap analogue synthesisers and a deliberately poor tone, with an atmosphere closer to the soundtrack of an old fantasy game than to classic metal. Warlock Corpse records on vintage synths and releases on cassette, which is not a pose but part of the scene's own aesthetic.

The show is billed as a one man band live, meaning the whole set-up is carried by a single person on stage. The title of the night, "The Dungeon Calls Again", tells you the frame: this is not a concert with riffs and a jumping crowd, but seventy-odd minutes of atmosphere in a blacked-out room.

Drugstore is a DIY cultural space in a former slaughterhouse, with a raw industrial interior that works better for this genre than any tidied-up stage. The Dark Room is its smaller space, which suits an audience that seeks this music out deliberately rather than stumbling into it.

Connected Agency is the organiser, the same agency behind the Sojuz night at Karmakoma ten days later. Tickets through tickets.rs.
