Nox Arcana announces Phantoms of the High Seas— A medley of music samples has been posted at Nox Arcana's official site. Arrrrg! Follow me mates!Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski have been hard at work on the tenth Nox Arcana cd, Phantoms of the High Seas. The new album will center around dark legends of ghost ships that haunt the misty night and promises to be drenched in pirate lore. Joseph Vargo states "The album is a cross between the haunting melodies of Transylvania and Carnival of Lost Souls, and the epic sounds of Blood of the Dragon. There are some really elaborate orchestrations and big chanting choirs, but there are also some very creepy sounding ghostly tracks to raise some shivers. Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean will love this release." The new cd is set to sail later this fall, just in time for the Halloween season.

Over the last couple of years we have received emails from Nox Arcana fans who mention they have heard our music played in many haunts and other public venues ... and figured it was time to set some general rules that cover all public venues (haunts, faires, indoor stage acts, etc) and gives everyone the same respect and treatment, no matter the size or type of venue.
We're setting up a network to enable haunts and some of the other public venues that broadcast Nox Arcana music to trade promotional materials online with Nox Arcana. [ At this time we are asking all venues who plan to use Nox Arcana music this year to please register (even those who emailed us before). It's FREE, and will ensure that everyone is legally protected and recognized.
The Registration form lets you add a lot of info for your own venue so we can learn all about your event for various cross-promotions we have planned later this year.
Thanks!
