Thank you all for a killer and productive year. Here's a taste of what we did!
40 tapes released
16 shows booked
6 (plus?) festivals performed and/or vended
many, many visits, hangouts, drives and meets!
THANK YOU ALL for supporting us this year. Next year will be even bigger...I've got a feeling.
Peace and love. -Descender
We put out monthly new music. As much as I love the idea of announcing and sharing every month's new tapes, obviously I am bad at remembering to update this website on drop day. You might not be able to tell, but we've had a whole SLEW of tapes drop since the likes of Bubble Wizard and Wyoming Toad.
Henceforth, we will not be updating the news feed with tape drops. Sorry. It's just not really necessary and looks like shit for all you rad folks that check the site and see no new tapes for months. Keep up with us on Bandcamp and Instagram to stay abreast of tape drops...better yet, SUBSCRIBE!!! :)
VENEFICUS SARCINA, NAMELESS CARTOGRAPHER, + BUBBLE WIZARD X2!
WYOMING TOAD, VICTORIAN SCHOOLMASTER AND CAFFEINATED CASK!
We have expanded operations.
From here on out, you can expect to see FAM presence in Louisville, KY. That means OVDS has penetrated the River City...
Prepare for MONTHLY dungeon synth shows at Highlands Taproom. Every third Thursday of the month will be a FREE Dungeon Synth Nite.
The first quest is thus: WITCH BOLT and MONS on Thursday July 17th. Music at 8. Free entry. 21+ per venue requirements.
Come out and vibe.
Don't fret, Cincinnati--we haven't left. Expect more show announcements to come down the pipeline.

Cloaks, armor, and ancient garb encouraged—dress to quest and join fellow adventurers for a night of epic ambience, arcane melodies, and sword-wielding soundscapes. The portal opens in Newport, KY.
