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.

Enter a dark realm of living gargoyles, sinister shadows, diabolical dolls, haunted havens and undead nightmares risen from the grave... This Halloween season, Monolith Graphics unleashes 13 sinister stories with the anthology The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror. The book will contain stories by Joseph Vargo, as well as works from author Joseph Iorillo (This House is Empty Now, Tales From The Dark Tower), and writer Timothy Bennett (Life of the Dead). The anthology will also contain the novella based on Nox Arcana’s Darklore Manor CD and will feature illustrations for each story.
