Rating 4.5
A beautifully crafted piece, both chilling and inspiringEnter the realm where shadows lurk and nightmares reign. Beware of long passed souls unsettling before your eyes as you listen to the dark and eerie tale of Raven's Hallow.
A must have for those who want a chill with a little story in the mix.Musick from The Shadows..."Venture to The Realm of Shadows where restless spirits arise from unknown depths to wander the shores of night." - Booklet Literation.More intrumentations from the minstrels of the Macabre. XXI songs array this manifestation, which incorperates sound effects such as gongs, sqwaking crows, howling wind, violins, growling hounds, church bells, & nefarious narrations. With titles such as "Into The Abyss", "Realm of Shadows", "Serpent's Lair", "Black Woods", "The Night Beckons", & "Witching Hour" {not the Venom song}, there is no doubt to the darkened quality of this opus. The Night BeckonsI, for one, am not big on any type of background music (or, in their case, cinematic) but Midnight Syndicate is a proud exception for they certainly know how to create good atmospheric Goth music that's gloomy and foreboding. The dark moods (tortured wind blowing, distant bells ringing, mournful singing full of sorrow, ect.), eerie dialogue and haunting orchestrations (the dirge of an organ playing especially gives me the chills) are a perfect companion to a spine-tingling horror novel, a spooky video game or a ghostly house on Halloween. Just don't play this around kids as it might give you, I mean them, nightmares. |
