Album Summary
2012 RONDO HATTON CLASSIC HORROR AWARD FOR BEST HORROR CD/SOUNDTRACK
The train smoke drifting through the pale moon light signals the arrival of the Lancaster-Rigby Carnival. In a forest clearing, these mesonoxian visitors await your arrival. Stroll along the midway and behold wonders both fantastic and macabre from every corner of the globe. And be sure to ride their one of a kind carousel for an experience you'll never, ever forget.
From FEARnet.com (July 15, 2011) The team of Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka have been closely associated with Halloween and the haunted house industry for over 20 years now, and last year they broke into filmmaking with their award-winning horror film THE DEAD MATTER, which featured horror heavyweights like Andrew Divoff (WISHMASTER) and Tom Savini. Their fans crave a fresh helping of Halloween goodies with each release, and the band rewards them with new material almost every year. For their latest effort, they crafted the story of the Lancaster-Rigby Carnival, which Douglas describes as a shadowy, turn-of-the-century traveling circus with more than a few skeletons in its closet. To capture the mood, he and Gavin did intensive research into carnivals of the early 20th century to try to ensure that the sounds and music work together to really immerse you in this world and the time period. Douglas also credits Bradbury's novel for much of CARNIVAL ARCANE's atmosphere, as hinted in the liner notes. 'It's a pretty wild disc', Douglas told FEARnet. 'More than ever, we really focused on using sound effects and design to pull you into the world of the disc. The music is still the focus, absolutely, but there are many times that it feels like an 'imaginary film' more than anything we've done to this point.' He also explained how the more horrific elements of the story don't surface immediately.' The first half of the disc is not purely dark,' he explained. 'However, something happens midway through and things take a pretty nasty turn. Horror fans and our friends in the haunted house industry will get a kick out of that.' CARNIVAL ARCANE also features the vocal talents of Jason Carter (LORD OF THE RINGS: BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH, BABYLON 5, THE DEAD MATTER) and fellow THE DEAD MATTER cast members Brian Van Camp, and Dennis Carter, Jr. --- Gregory Burkart, FEARnet.com (7/15/11)
UPDATE 8/20/11 Within weeks of it's release CARNIVAL ARCANE has quickly become one of if not the most critically-acclaimed albums in the band's 15-year career. For a complete list of reviews, visit Midnight Syndicate's official website.

Album Summary
They have taken you deep into the crypts of a forbidden castle and to the edge of the sea among the ruins of a cursed village . . . Now the masters of gothic/horror soundscape invite you to take a musical journey into the macabre world of Haverghast Asylum. Your horse and carriage awaits you . . .
"Out of the Darkness (Retrospective: 1994-1999)" features re-recorded, re-mastered horror music instrumental classics from Midnight Syndicate's "Midnight Syndicate," "Born of the Night," and "Realm of Shadows" CDs as well as four rare, previously unreleased tracks. Before the Haverghasts, before the haunted asylum and the Crypts of the Foresaken, there was Arcacia, a ruined village by the sea with a dark past and a sinister link to an ancient tower hidden away among the cliffs of the Northern Jarls. Containing close to 70 minutes of music, "Out of the Darkness" features both the band's and the fans' favorite songs from their first three CDs re-recorded, re-mastered, and sounding better than ever. Looking at it as an opportunity to breathe new life into the material, Midnight Syndicate attempted to maintain as much of the sound and character of the original versions while still making minor changes to the arrangements and performances to bring them closer to what they originally envisioned. The disc also features previously unreleased material including selections from two of Edward Douglas' early horror films ("The Dead Matter" and "Journey Into Dementia"). An updated take on the early signature tracks that helped launch Midnight Syndicate, "Out of the Darkness" invites listeners to return to the haunted village of Arcacia where it all began.
"Venture forth to the Realm of Shadows where restless spirits arise from unknown depths to wander the shores of night. Midnight Syndicate once again takes you on a musical journey through the darkest corners of your imagination. Dim the lights, but take heed... what darkness conjures, the night harbors."
Following the tremendous success of "Born of the Night," Midnight Syndicate presents "Realm of Shadows," their third CD featuring the unique blend of haunting orchestration and sound effects that has made them a rising force in gothic-horror music today.
