When HDK started its activity and released the first Kobold and Gnoll cassettes it was clear to everyone that the combination of Dungeon-synth and fantasy role-playing games was HDK's gimmick. Since then the label has never stopped considering the dungeon-synth as the optimal soundtrack for RPG sessions, adventure videogames, and fantasy board games. Maybe someone liked this idea, and others didn't... but it doesn't matter now: we would like to emphasize here that HDK... hasn't invented anything new!
A few years before KOBOLD's "Cave of the Lost Talisman", in fact, a musician from Palm Spring, California named Dan J. Schulte self-produced a handful of ambient music albums explicitly inspired by the old Dungeons & Dragons adventure modules: in the three albums that make up his "Dungeon trilogy", each track has the title of a super classic module dating back to the first glorious production of Gary Gygax's TSR (late '70s, early '80s).

Strangely enough, we think, these amazing albums ever been produced in physical format. Maybe it was time to remedy all this!
HDK therefore wanted to create a cassette collection of all Dan J. Schulte's D&D-inspired productions: here is the second volume of "Shadow of the Underworld" containing nine magniloquent sessions of underground exploration as we old-school dungeon-crawling fans like it!

This important production deserved an artwork that was up to the beauty and originality of the music: we, therefore, asked one of the most genial and famous dungeon-devotee artists of recent years, the great PLASTIBOO, author of the two VERMIS volumes published by our friends at HOLLOW PRESS that every explorer of the mysterious recesses of the earth must have on the shelves of his library!
