Nox Arcana Gothic Soundtracks
Posted on 02. Jan, 2009 by The Crypt Keeper in Multimedia, Music, Sound Effects
Nox Arcana (Latin for “mysteries of the night”) is comprised of two composers who share a love for ancient lore, Gothic literature and classic horror. You may have already heard the dark and melodic soundscapes of Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski while watching independent films, visiting theme parks or haunts during Halloween or even while playing role-playing games. Nox Arcana’s debut album, “Darklore Manor”, was featured as the musical score for a televised special of the 1922 silent film classic, “Nosferatu”, and has spawned a book of original horror stories, “The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror”.
Nox Arcana’s haunting Gothic soundtracks are often used in independent films, in theme parks during Halloween, and for role-playing games. They have created 10 albums of original music in less than 5 years. Nox Arcana’s debut album, Darklore Manor, was featured as the musical score for a televised special of the 1922 silent film classic, Nosferatu, and has spawned a book of original horror stories, The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror.
In keeping with their literary interests, these masters of the macabre pay tribute to many of their favorite authors. Their darkly seductive Transylvania ventures into the land of vampires ala Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The sinister Necronomicon is put to sound in Nox Arcana’s homage to H.P. Lovecraft. Their morbid and melancholyShadow of the Raven pays tribute to the great Edgar Allan Poe, and their darkly enchanting music cd Grimm Tales brings the childhood nightmares of the Brothers Grimm to life.
