Nox Arcana announces the release of "Shadow of the Raven," a musical tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. The cd delves deep into the haunted realms of the literary master of the macabre with 21 tracks that weave a lush tapestry of Victorian elegance and Gothic nightmares.

Explore the shadows of a dark soundscape filled with ghostly melodies, mournful dirges, eerie sound effects and ominous orchestrations. The cd also contains a 12-page booklet filled with original artwork from gothic fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, depicting Poe's classic works in lavish detail, in addition to a hidden "gold bug" riddle.
