Gnoll / LONE WOLF: FLIGHT FROM THE DARK

What is the book we have read several times? Probably the first gamebook of the Lone Wolf saga, called “Flight from the Dark”, published in U.K. in 1984: when we were teenagers we played that adventure dozens, maybe hundreds of times; and each time we were surprised how engaging it was.

The Lone Wolf saga, written by Joe Dever (today reached the 31st episode episode thanks to the work of Joe’s son, Ben Dever) is absolutely astonishing, but the first episode, with the incredibly evocative title of “Flight from the dark “, remains magical and unrepeatable.

This is why the dungeon-synth ensemble called Gnoll, 37 years after its release, wanted to pay homage to that gamebook by writing the soundtrack. Gnoll has thoroughly studied every single paragraph of the gamebook, reliving every situation through music: the result is this compelling 16-track album, in the classic 70’s heroic-fantasy style of the authors of “Citadel of Evil” and “Morkborg”.
