The 13th Hour"The Legend of Haverghast Mansion..."
Twenty-five splendid orchestrations from malefik meistros Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka - they are our musickal guides through Haverghast Mansion, setting the mood for unearthing the terrible ghostly secrets lain hidden within the walls of this gloomy house...
Among these phantasmasonic pieces, contained herein is a cantible entitled "Hand In Hand Again", harking back to 1920 c.e. written by R. Egan and R. Whiting, as well as guest voices from Lily Lane {Madeline Haverghast}, David Jacobs Greg Ballato, and Mary Kate Douglas as Anastasia Haverghast.
Cover work is masterfully manifest by Keith Parkinson to create a most welcoming Manor amidst the full moon, with a familiar blackredlight glow exuding from within, and inside the booklet, a delightfully arcane photo of the musicians, clad in period attire.
Pounding hearts, echoing voices from the past, strings, organ, piano, sound effects, creeking doors, even the sounds of the night, graces The 13th Hour... another monsterpiece which compliments one's own Haunted House.
Again, Midnight Syndicate produces remarkable atmospheric musick suitable for one's Lair and Ritual Chambre for 'Halloween' all year 'round.
Rating: 5/5.

Dungeons & Dragons
"The Heroes of Dungeons & Dragons never shrink from any challenge, be it man, monster, or magic. From the depths of The Abyss to the cloud-covered peaks of Barrier Peaks, these lush orchestral arrangements provide the perfect soundtrack for any quest. Adventure beckons you with every note…will you heed its call?"
These orchestral compositions echo up from the depths of the lambent Abyss of the dark imagination.
Inspired by this classic and original game which improved vocabularies, hones competitive skills, and exercises the almighty mind to manifest likewise archetypes of fantasy and adventure from the occult subconcious.
A worthy "soundtrack" to accompany a session of practiced ritualization and war play. And if there ever were composers to accomplish this, it is Midnight Syndicate.
Long touted by evangelical blindlighter fundies as a tool of The Devil, Dungeons & Dragons, as well as similar role=playing games, have been the bane of xianity. since their creation. But whether or not you engage is this activity, the musick proves to be a mighty addition to one’s discographic collection to accentuate rituals and/or just for atmospheric accentuation of one’s Total Environment.
5/5 Goat Skulls.

Vampyre: Symphonies From The Crypt"Unleash your darkest nightmares as you enter the world of the Vampyre. Echoing from ancient crypts, those haunting symphonies call forth the horror, mystery, and passion of the night that awaits you…"
Romantic and inspirational sonic necromancy by which to feed by the light of the moon, fireplace, or candlelight. This opus gives honor to the vampire legend, marvellously illustrated by the cover art enchantingly conjured by Keith Parkinson, which actually looks painted, for a change. Depicts a vampiric spechtre peering through the tombstones awakening at dusk.
This is this Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszga’s, the gruesome twosome’s latest unleashing, but be sure to possess the previous three opuses to keep the night gaunts floating
Again, this musick is ideal for your rituals, ceremonies, meditations, and haunted Halloween interests, or just to play for whatever occasion, but it certainly will give the herd a fright. Much more than ‘un-holiday musick, ‘Vampyre’ will liven up the atmosphere with undead cantibles worthy of any Satanic Chambre.

Born of The Night
"Enter The Dark Tower where creatures of the night lurk in shadows, and ghostly sounds echo through the halls. This Gothic soundtrack contains chilling sound effects, haunting melodies and pulse-pounding orchestrations to set the mood for your darkest nightmare. Venture forth...if you dare..."
By far, the darkest and most morbid opus yet by these malefik minstrels. Every song is an incantation, summoning up dire wraiths from the black void of the dark side of the mind. I found it somewhat amusing that these CD's are available at the commoner's outlets, as these conjurations will invoke something far more profound than the Halloween frivolities they would expect. I Am reminded of a display I once erected - I overheard someone say "...this is too much!" as they hurried down the hill to the street. And with that, I was pleased.
Again, this musick is a sonic key to The Gate of The Abyss, and will manifest the shadowmancy. Therefore, play it loud on The Night of The Ghoul, to give the herd a true fright as is the spirit of the season, and in thine secret chambres the year through.

Midnight Syndicate
Realm of Shadows
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.
