Kellar's Keep

Kellar's Keep is the second chapter of John Debowie's HeroQuest-inspired cycle: a track-by-track score for the 1989 board-game expansion of the same name. Each of the ten compositions follows one of the adventures from the quest book — chamber by chamber, gate by gate — capturing the heroes' descent into an ancient dwarven stronghold now overrun by Ulag's minions, in their desperate attempt to rescue Sir Ragnar from the depths.

Released in March 2024 on JDREC Productions, the record continues the format established by The First Hero — analogue synthesizer pads, tape-saturated drones, and martial percussion locked to the rhythm of dice rolls and torchlight. Designed to be cued by quest (one track per chamber, in order) when you're at the table; on its own, it stands as 37 minutes of cinematic dungeon synth shaped to the cassette format.
