Dark Vibes November 6, 2008
I stumbled across Nox Arcana when looking at Midnight Syndicate Cds (which is also amazing) and I completely fell in love with Nox... Nox Arcana can put you in moods that can fit the exact premise your looking for when it comes to dark ambiance. Whether its traveling through Transylvania or sailing on a ghost ship or wondering through a forest on winters night, these albums will give you a certain chill and feeling that is hard to describe. If you enjoy dark ambiance you will love Nox Arcana. This album is a creepy one, they have successfully mixed vampires into music.
Super powerful gothic sound October 14, 2008
Transylvania is an album that takes the listener to the land of vampires, werewolves, and Dracula's castle. It really captures the feel and spirit of Dracula and Transylvania. I highly recommend this album not only for Halloween, but for any time you want to set a mood to relax. Of all of Nox Arcana's albums, I think this one has the most powerful gothic sound. My favorite tracks are Castle Dracula, Memento Mori, The Howling, Nocturne, The Voyage, Gossamer Mist, and Lair of the Vampire.
Look no further for a good vampiric soundtrack July 5, 2008
Looking for a good soundtrack to reading vampire novels or playing either incarnation of World of Darkness's Vampire RPGs? Look no further than Nox Arcana's "Transylvania". The cuts are lush and evocative, redolent of the dark, of decadance, of mystery and horror and the preternatural, of cruel, soulless yet elegent creatures of the night. This blend of professional-quality sound-effects, well-scored music, and just-the-right-length original verses makes the perfect musical backdrop for a Hallowe'en party, ghost story reading or vampire RPG session
True Gothic Music in it's Purest Form June 8, 2008
The word Goth is thrown around a lot these days, and quite often it's used to describe something that actually is Gothic. Especially in the music world, much of the stuff that's labeled Gothic appeals to angry teenagers and upon inspection has absolutely no atmospheric or aesthetic qualities to make it Gothic on any level.
Thankfully, Nox Arcana exist to make glorious album after album of the most pure, most mood setting Gothic music the modern music world has to offer. Some prudists may balk at this sort of stuff, thinking it to be cheesy, yet to take on not only the idea of Gothic neoclassical music and use such legendary concepts such as Bram Stokers immortal novel is really quite brave stuff.
And if Stoker could hear this thing, he'd (hopefully) feel it to be adequate moody music for the themes his novel evoked. Sometimes quite, sometimes bombastic, always foreboding, and never ever cheesy (even when the occasional spoken vocal parts come up, they still fit and work), this is remarkable stuff.
Never do they overdo it, and while the music is accesable enough for most people searching for this kind of stuff, it still retains enough complexetiy to keep it fresh and new everytime it's listened to.
Rest assured, I'll be taking this one to my grave, pun intended.
Haunting and a Trip Through the Moors May 11, 2008
Nox Arcana has created a CD that is not only haunting but has many layers of intricate sounds and eerie vocals that any sci/fi, horror, or goth fan would enjoy! All 21 tracks keep your interest and even one track is full of surprises so let this CD play through its entirety to find out!!
