THE LANCASTER-RIGBY CARNIVAL HAS ARRIVED...
MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE'S NEW CD CARNIVAL ARCANE NOW AVAILABLE!
Midnight Syndicate has just released it's fourteenth studio album, Carnival Arcane, and it has quickly become the band's most critically-acclaimed CD of their 15-year career. The CD is available at the Midnight Syndicate Store, iTunes, Amazon.com, select Hot Topic stores, and great Halloween retailers nationwide.
Here's what the press is saying:
Fangoria Magazine - "CARNIVAL ARCANE proves that, 14 years into their career, Douglas and Goszka are still very capable of outdoing themselves... their mission statement of 'soundtracks to imaginary films' has never been as well-realized as it has been in this outing."
Killer Reviews - "...this time it is flat out perfection... they take their craft to another level with no looking back... a unique listening experience that is rarely seen in much of music today."
Rotting Flesh Radio #242 - "...an absolutely tremendous album! 5 out of 5! Midnight Syndicate has maintained their epic signature sound while continuing to grow musically." This 10-minute segment features sample tracks with commentary from a music fan and haunter's perspective.
Mr. Frights - "All in all, this is about the closest thing to a perfect CD that I can imagine."
Apex Publishing - "...might be a high point in the band's already stellar and legendary career... What they have produced is a memorable album that blends historical realism with the recognizable fantastic elements that has helped make Midnight Syndicate one of the most popular instrumental-only groups in the world"
The theme of the new disc surrounds the Lancaster-Rigby Carnival, a shadowy, turn-of-the-century traveling circus with more than a few skeletons in its closet. "We spent a lot of time researching circuses and carnivals of that time period to ensure that the sounds and music work together to immerse you in this world," said Edward Douglas. "There's also a big tip of the top hat to Mr. Bradbury whose work inspired many of the more horrific elements on the disc" Carnival Arcane also features the vocal talents of The Dead Matter alums Jason Carter, Brian Van Camp, and Dennis Carter, Jr.
