midnight syndicate full album download . Formed in 1996 in Cleveland, Ohio, Midnight Syndicate's gothic, horror, fantasy "soundtracks for the imagination" CDs feature a blend of neoclassical darkwave, dark ambient, and movie score-style music and sound effects. Consisting of composers Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka, they are most known for their musical contributions to the holiday of halloween, and halloween music as well as to the haunted house, amusement park, and roleplaying game industries. Their music has been sampled by horrorcore artists like Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, and Three Six Mafia and has been used in concerts by King Diamond and the Misfits. Synonymous with the Halloween season and the haunted attraction industry, Midnight Syndicate is heard every October from Universal Studios Orlando, Warner Brothers, and Six Flags theme parks to haunted attractions and homes across America and around the world. In September of 2009, AOL released a list of the Top 10 Best Halloween Music CDs as ranked by AOL/CBS Radio listeners. Three of the ten CDs were Midnight Syndicate discs (#8, #4, and #3) ranking only behind Danny Elfman's Nightmare Before Christmas and John Carpenter's Halloween soundtrack. Composer/filmmaker Edward Douglas founded Midnight Syndicate in 1996. In 1997, its self-titled debut was released with the majority of music on the album written, arranged, and performed by Douglas. Contributors included Scott Angus, Mark Rakocy, Dennis Carleton, Jamie Barbour, Ray Portler, the rap act Dark Side, and Christopher Robichaud. Douglas coined the term "cine-fusion" to describe the album. Cine-fusion is described in the album's liner notes as. "a blending of movie soundtrack music and pop music. a compilation of soundtracks to movies that do not exist. The goal of the music is to stimulate the imaginations of listeners so that they are able to transport themselves to worlds or movies of their own creation." Musically, the album contained an eclectic blend of styles including everything from dark neoclassical instrumental music (of which three tracks appeared on future releases), rock], techno, rap, and space. Movie-style sound effects were employed in many tracks. In March 1998, a multimedia show was produced by Douglas and his company, Entity Productions, to support the album. The show included a blending of original short films, live music, animation and stage performers. In 1998, Douglas teamed up with gothic fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, and the two decided to create an exclusively dark-themed instrumental Midnight Syndicate album. Composer Gavin Goszka, formerly a solo artist in a project called "Lore,"also joined Douglas and Vargo in the new Midnight Syndicate line-up. Together, they created , a groundbreaking album that appealed to fans of gothic music, the horror genre, and haunted attractions. Douglas and Goszka wrote, arranged, and performed the music on the album while Vargo served as executive producer of the project, writing and performing the vocals and narrations, and designing the cover art and packaging. Born of the Night was independently released in September 1998 through Vargo's Monolith Graphics and Douglas' Entity Productions, hitting the horror market just in time for the Halloween season. It was Midnight Syndicate's first critically acclaimed gothic-horror soundtrack and proved to be an instant success, establishing Midnight Syndicate's trademark sound. In March 2000, followed suit with the same flavor of dark instrumental music and another gothic setting. Both albums were featured as official soundtracks for Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights, and used in several other major theme parks during Halloween, such as Busch Gardens, Cedar Point and Thorpe Park's Fright Nights event. The heavy metal band King Diamond also featured tracks as opening music for their 2000 US tour. Afterwards, Vargo and Midnight Syndicate chose to work separately of one another on future projects. Midnight Syndicate's third gothic horror soundtrack, Gates of Delirium, was released in 2001. This time Douglas and Goszka teamed up with two members who worked on the first Midnight Syndicate CD, Mark Rakocy (graphic design) and Christopher Robichaud (vocals). Midnight Syndicate called on fantasy artist Keith Parkinson to design the packaging for their fourth gothic soundtrack, Vampyre, released in 2002. The following year, the band released the first officially-licensed soundtrack to the classic roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. In 2005, they released their seventh CD, The 13th Hour. It featured vocal effects by Lily Lane of the horror-rock band Lazy Lane and another cover by Keith Parkinson. The album won the Origins Award for Best Gaming Accessory presented by the Academy of Adventure Game Art & Design, marking the first time a role-playing soundtrack or music CD has won the award. Out of the Darkness - Retrospective: 1994-1999 was released in 2006 and featured re-recorded versions of tracks from Midnight Syndicate, Born of the Night, and Realm of Shadows, along with some of Edward Douglas' early scores. Fantasy artist Rob Alexander designed the cover for this release. In 2008, Midnight Syndicate released the score to Robert Kurtzman's film, The Rage: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, which was released in February of that year. Additionally, Edward Douglas completed post-production on his horror suspense film The Dead Matter, which he directed in August of 2007. The Dead Matter is a remake of a 1996 movie by the same name that was filmed on a very small budget and was co-written (with Tony Demci), directed, and scored by Edward Douglas. The movie stars Andrew Divoff, Jason Carter, and Tom Savini and was released in 2010. In August of 2008 Midnight Syndicate released a The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates, which featured music inspired by the movie. It yielded the band's first two official music videos for the songs Dark Legacy and Lost respectively. In early July 2010, the band teamed up with vocalist Destini Beard to release The Dark Masquerade, ]. This six-song EP features existing Midnight Syndicate songs blended with operatic vocals and haunting lyrics written performed by Destini. The success of this EP lead to the production of a full-length followup CD entitled A Time Forgotten. Set within the walls of a haunted Victorian hotel, the disc was released in August of 2012. Later that July, the band released The Dead Matter DVD, The Dead Matter: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, and their Halloween Music Collection CD, which is a compilation of some of the band's favorite tracks from their first thirteen years. In August of 2011, the band released their fourteenth studio album, Carnival Arcane. The narrative of the disc surrounds the Lancaster-Rigby Carnival, a turn-of-the-century traveling circus with more than a few skeletons in its closet. Inspired by historical research into carnivals of that time period and the writings of Ray Bradbury, the disc features the band's most intense sound design to date. "We wanted to push the boundaries on this disc. For a band that's made a career of making "soundtracks to imaginary" films, I think this one feels more like a movie than anything we've done to date," said Edward Douglas. "Definitely the most complete and intricate soundscape we've ever produced. You can practically smell the popcorn and Fairy Floss (cotton candy)," said Gavin Goszka. "There's also a tremendous amount of variety. There are moments where I think the listner will find themselves caught up in this strange sense of wonder and macabre fascination, and others that will leave them shaking in their boots. We were able to expand our instrument roster on that disc in ways that we'd only touched on before." Within months, Carnival Arcane became the band's most critically-acclaimed disc to date, garnering rave reviews from press and fans alike. In 2012, it won Best Horror CD / Soundtrack at the horror community's 10th annual Rondo Hatton Awards. In August of 2012, the band announced that they had completed the score to the upcoming grindhouse thriller, Bunyan (starring Joe Estevez and Grizzly Adams' Dan Haggerty). That same month, they released Destini Beard's A Time Forgotten, Destini Beard's full-length followup CD to The Dark Masquerade that takes listeners behind the room walls of a haunted Victorian hotel. Production on the next Midnight Syndicate disc is well underway. Although details have not been released, it was announced that the new disc will classic horror theme inspired by the early Universal and Hammer Films. Haunted Attractions.

Ideal for horror fans wishing to add a touch of crimson and black as they gather ’round the tree this year .” Games Gazette (UK) – “ This CD has transformed Christmas from the light and lyrical frolic it has become to the exciting holiday it was when we were kids. Instantly recognisable classic tunes played in a manner only Midnight Syndicate can offer and some classics in the making. The best sounds you will hear this Yule .” Horror Talk – “ Every time I don’t think they can top themselves, they manage to do so. The beauty of Midnight Syndicate’s work is they’re not making it obnoxiously or stereotypically bleak… they are subtle with their darkness. Midnight Syndicate constantly amazes me on one-upping their prior release, and damn if they haven’t done it again here. If you are a horror fan, there is no excuse not to have ‘Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering’ on your shelf .” America’s Most Haunted – “ An instant classic. Lovers of Christmas music in general will appreciate their exquisitely produced, alternately lovely, stirring, haunting, and festive holiday reveries. Midnight Syndicate has made the season their own .” Dead with Dave (review starts at 10:09) – “ The same Midnight Syndicate that set the standard for the entire Halloween music genre are doing Christmas. I’ll admit, I had my doubts… until I listened to it….. I will say without a doubt in my mind that this is officially my new favorite Christmas album. I absolutely love it !” Gross Movie Reviews – “ They have taken soundtracks to a whole new level with every new release and ‘Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering’ is no different. It not only gets the heart pumping for the Halloween season but makes even the darkest, soulless individual excited for the Christmas season. Beautiful, perfect, mesmerizing… 4 out of 4 !” Mr. Frights – “ The perfect companion to any horrorfile’s holiday… Easily my new favorite Christmas album… fans old and new shouldn’t be without this essential collection of music. 4 out of 4 !” City Blood – “ Midnight Syndicate’s take on classic Christmas carols is like nothing I’ve heard before… beautiful yet haunting .” Black Gate – ‘Midnight Syndicate Does It Again’ – “ And once again, the boys deliver – in a wonderfully different and unexpected way – A Christmas album.

For a moment I forgot that I was listening to a Midnight Syndicate record and got swept up in the majestic awe captured here…. This album defies the conventions of the Christmas albums that flood the airwaves. Bursting with creativity and imagination… a perfect alternative for anyone looking for a truly unique listening experience this holiday season .” The Inscriber Magazine – “ This album is a must have …The music is at times somber and morose, hauntingly beautiful, and even devilishly playful, but it is at all times very entertaining .” Cinemusical – “ …the end results are a well-conceived listening experience that is quite engaging .” Horror Addicts – “ Midnight Syndicate have wrought their monsterpiece .” Knightmist – “ Christmas A Ghostly Gathering isn’t your normal offering for this time of year…it can be enjoyed at any time due to the way the group worked their musical magic .” Justine’s Halloween – “ I wondered how they would strike that balance of Christmas themes and spooky music.

The entire album is spectacular .” Ramblings From the Black Lagoon – “ What sets this apart from other “dark” Christmas offerings, is that Goszka and Douglas don’t try to add a Halloween flavor to Yuletide tunes at all, but instead plumb the rich history of the 19th century Christmas genre. This is a Christmas album, through and through, not a Halloween disc in a Santa suit. There is a purely enchanting, joyous and (dare I say it) merry element that invokes a feeling of mystery, while still warming the soul. It’s the musical equivalent of looking out the window onto a cold winter’s night, while curled up next to a fireplace .” Tiffany Apan – “ The soundtrack as a whole ranges from dark and sinister to absolutely beautiful and symphonic while painting a picture of a vast wintry landscape with the moon high above and a medieval castle in the distance.

(Preview this album on YouTube and Spotify) Press Reviews. Dread Central – “ This is what Midnight Syndicate does best: dark, goth instrumental orchestrations that fit a general theme and provide an excellent mental backdrop to all things horror. As evidenced by their recent forays into film scores, their compositions have thickened dramatically since the ‘Born of the Night’ days, giving ‘Monsters of Legend’ an epic feel that fits the monsters. ‘Monsters of Legend’ represents the pinnacle of this kind of music. They pretty much invented it and refuse to give up the crown to any newcomers. Much like these titans of cinema, Midnight Syndicate are proving to be timeless and unshakable, continuing to provide amazing music for all of our nightmares.” FEARnet – “ …their most elaborate and entertaining creation to date… MONSTERS OF LEGEND takes that storytelling aspect to the next level, creating a full-scale sense of cinema and casting you, the listener, as the protagonist in a classic horror film… The nostalgic fun-factor alone is enough for me to rank this record among my all-time favorite Midnight Syndicate creations, but it also satisfies the horror soundtrack fiend in me… ” Gross Movie Reviews – “ …their best work to date. I cannot stress how much this CD touched the old school monster nerve inside of me. Midnight Syndicate has upped their game to unbelievable heights. Plain and simple if you don’t own a copy of this great Universal Monster inspired CD then I just don’t know how you can call yourself a horror fan….a very memorable CD for horror fans to enjoy for years to come….4 out of 4 stars .” Screamzine – “ … a venerable masterpiece …hands down my favorite CD to date from Midnight Syndicate ” Rue Morgue (Canada) – “ Extremely cinematic in scope and feel, ‘Monsters of Legend’ is an album tailored for grown-up monster kids. It will appeal to horror fans of every shade .” Forgotten Flix – “ a dark and beautiful journey through the Theater of the Mind from the biggest, and best, name in the Halloween music genre….It will leave you longing for the movies and cinematic horrors it celebrates .” Side-Line Music Magazine (Belgium) – “ Midnight Syndicate sounds like the true heirs of the ‘old’ horror-music composers and this album is probably one of their most accomplished and genius oeuvres to date. Twenty one tracks to freak out (with) on Halloween’s eve !” Gravedigger’s Local 16 – “ This is a labor of love from people who clearly know what their stuff…a beautiful musical tribute that all horror fans should own .” Cryptic Corridor – “ Midnight Syndicate prove once again that they definitely know what they are doing… while refining their craft and managing to break new ground !” Dr. Necrotic’s Reviews – “ a cinematic experience… to die for! Not only is it a great addition to your Halloween season, but it’s also a considerable collectable for any fan of classic horror cinema. 9 out of 10 !” Kingdom Horror – “ The atmosphere in ‘Monsters of Legend’ explores classic horror and takes a journey through conventional inspiration in what may be the finest display of gothic music ever produced. ‘Monsters of Legend’ and the evil geniuses behind its creation that have entertained audiences for over a decade will become timeless tributes to the genre that has fascinated audiences for over a century .” Halloween Overkill – “ …you will be instantly transported to a foggy cliffside castle, or a romp through an ancient european forest, or even perhaps a creepy old village where something is ‘not quite right’. Easily one of my favorite Midnight Syndicate releases. 5 out of 5 .” Dead With Dave (Video Review) – “ One of the most compelling Halloween CDs I have ever heard. In all reality, I expected nothing less from the kings of the Halloween music industry .” Following the review be sure to check out a really slick promo video for Black Woods featuring horror film classic clips from over the decades! Terror From Beyond the Daves – “ The official start of the Halloween season. It perfectly blends atmospheric music inspired by your favorite Universal and Hammer films with sound effects, creating the perfect background, for either your yard haunt or just to listen to as you are driving !” Darkest Jack – “ This is a must have for any horror fan… It’s what they do best at their best. Monsters of Legend is destined to become a legend in its own right .” Black Veil Gothic (UK) – “ I listen to a lot of filmscore music and this has to be the best album for any horror film since Silva Screen produced their Hammer/Vampire compilations in the early 90’s. Midnight Syndicate’s scariest symphonic monsterpiece yet !” Mr. Frights – “ …a CD that I want to play over and over again… as masterful as any of the previous albums. But this one is special….helped create one of the BEST spooky experiences ever! The terror this CD induced compels me to give this CD four (out of four) full screams !” City Blood – “ MONSTERS OF LEGEND is one of Midnight Syndicate’s best albums to date and features great stories told through the art of music. The icons of horror are brought to the forefront and have been unleashed upon the listeners of this horrifying CD. Highly recommended .” Games Gazette (UK) – “ …majestical masterpieces that one can envisage being heard in concert at the Royal Albery Hall or the Festival Hall (Southbank) performed by a Philharmonic Orchestra of renown… a powerful CD with a definitive theme .” Louisville Halloween – “ richer and more symphonic than anything they’ve released before, represents these two artists at the absolute peak of their talent.

The level of musical sophistication on ‘Monsters of Legends’ is far and above anything Midnight Syndicate have done previously. It is simultaneously evocative and chilling .” Ramblings from the Black Lagoon – “ Syndicate’s best album since ‘The 13th Hour’…and that’s saying something since I thought their previous offering, 2012’s ‘Carnival Arcane’, was a damned masterpiece! When compared against the two original albums, which this album references, you cannot help but be struck by how much this duo has evolved not only as composers, but as musicians .” Hammer Horror Podcast (Australia) – A really interesting review from podcasters listening to Midnight Syndicate for the first time. The team includes a scholar of Hammer Films (who shares some great info on Hammer composers) as well as two promo producers. A unique perspective. Glad they enjoyed it! Behind the Thrills – “ The legends are there, but in an all new light. You can almost hear Bernard Herrmann humming along in approval….a ‘classic’ Midnight Syndicate release .” Black Gate – “ Midnight Syndicate has really outdone themselves this time .” Shawn “Knightmist” Micallef Blog/Reviews – “ it’s the perfect soundtrack for the mind. The creatures of old will certainly come to life in your imagination as you enjoy this great album .” Midnight Spookhouse – “ 5 out of 5 – a beautiful set of truly thought-provoking melodies but it runs far deeper and darker than that. You will literally feel the intentions of each track of the disc .” Music’s Underworld – “ the album really brings to the table what it promises: an atmospheric journey back in time where Lugosi’s Count Dracula or Karloff’s Frankenstein’s monster could be lurking just around the corner… ” Horror Talk – “ With ‘Monsters of Legend’, the band has completely knocked it out of the park… they have taken it to another level .” Bite Size Music Reviews (Mantaray Pictures) – “ …their most accomplished work. If you are a lover of horror films in any capacity, you’ll cherish their latest ” SpecMusicMuse – “ Midnight Syndicate has made a lot of excellent albums over the years, but this one is by far one of the best. Every fan of the old Horror films, or anyone who likes scary music, should add this CD to their collection .” Outburn (Issue #71) – “ …the album is slick, clean, and produced – yet the mood set is undeniable. Midnight Syndicate knows what they’re doing and show no signs of stopping in their quest to celebrate everything spooky, kooky, and ooky when it comes to Halloween horror tunes ” Pop Culture Review – “ If you are making plans for a Halloween party this October, Monsters of Legend is the perfect background music for the season .” The Year of Halloween – “ Particularly, “Black Woods” and “It’s Alive!” had me giving Midnight Syndicate a standing ovation “ Interviews.

Midnight Syndicate Announces New Album! For almost two decades, composers Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka have been known as Midnight Syndicate, creating symphonic soundtracks to imaginary films and haunted attractions around the world that facilitate a transcendental and adventurous escape into the secret dimensions of the mind’s eye. Today, Midnight Syndicate has announced that their eighteenth album will have a Christmas and Winter Solstice theme ! To many of their fans, they are Gothic music pioneers brewing a signature blend of orchestral horror music and movie-style sound effects. To others, they remain the first “haunted house band” that forever changed the Halloween music genre and became a staple of the October holiday season. Still don’t recognize their music? Watch below.. Founder Ed Douglas said: “I think there’s a rule that after a band’s been around for ‘x’ years they are required to produce a Christmas album. So, that’s how we got here, (just joking).. In all seriousness though, a Yuletide-themed Midnight Syndicate album is something our fans have been asking us for since we began; this album will not disappoint them.” Gavin Goszka added: “I will say that this album has been particularly challenging because we’re taking songs that are SO familiar and that have been treated in so many different ways throughout the years and trying to make them uniquely our own. We don’t want to make yet another Christmas album – we really want it to stand on its own as something truly original. We hope that it will evoke the spirit of the Yuletide season while also reflecting our ongoing musical style and vision.” Content-wise, the album will be a mix of new material and twists on everyone’s favorite classics. “I’d describe most of the covers on the album as being reinvented, rather than simply adapted,” said Goszka. “I’ve found myself approaching this material with a very wide palette and a limited sense of allegiance to convention. That being said, it still has to make sense in some way and stay grounded in the familiar. I think we’re stretching our creative wings more than ever here, but there’s still a consistency and overall purpose to it.” “The original songs have been a lot of fun to work on,” added Douglas. “I think the fans are in for a lot of pleasant surprises.” Fans will not have to wait until Christmas for this present. Midnight Syndicate will be exhibiting at DragonCon in Atlanta this year on Labor Day weekend (September 4-7) and plans to have the CD available at the show. the duo will also have a booth at the upcoming Midwest Haunters Convention May 30th and 31st in Columbus, Ohio. In October of 2014, Midnight Syndicate Live! debuted at Cedar Point’s HalloWeekends event. From the audience response to the critical reception to record-breaking attendance numbers, the show was an overwhelming success. We attended one of their live shows at Cedar Point and it was incredible! It was more than just a concert, it was more of a theatrical show! Although the band will be using 2015 to focus on the new album, plans for a return of Midnight Syndicate Live! in 2016 are already underway. “The success of the inaugural run of Midnight Syndicate Live! has ensured that live Midnight Syndicate shows will be a permanent part of our plans going forward,” said Douglas.
