Almost 13 years after releasing the first official roleplaying soundtrack to <i><a href="http://www.midnightsyndicate.com/buymusic.htm#cd6">Dungeons & Dragons</a></i>® game, Midnight Syndicate has teamed up with premier horror game designer <a href="http://www.twilightcreationsinc.com/">Twilight Creations</a> to produce a soundtrack album for the zombie apocalypse-themed <i>Zombies!!!</i> board game. The dark instrumental album, which will feature new and previously recorded material blended with movie-style sound design, is designed to heighten the game play experience. The musical theme will center around the <i>Zombies!!!</i> board game and its 15 expansion sets that pay homage to classic zombie films, especially those of directors George Romero and Sam Raimi.<br />
<br />
“I’m a big fan of <i>Zombies!!!</i>,” said Edward Douglas. “With the game celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2016, it seemed like the perfect time to undertake this project. We’re working closely with the Twilight team to create something that really enhances their players’ gaming experience. I think album will also resonate with our fans in the Halloween and haunted house industries."<br />
<br />
“Musically, it will be interesting to work in a modern setting,” added Gavin Goszka. “Most of our albums have been set in the Victorian and early 20th century, so this will definitely be something different and exciting for us and our fans.”<br />
<br />
“Words cannot express how excited I am to have Midnight Syndicate doing a soundtrack for <i>Zombies!!!</i>,” said Twilight Creations co-founder Kerry Breitenstein. “For many of our players, Midnight Syndicate’s music has already been the unofficial soundtrack to their gaming sessions over the years. To have them working with us to create something specifically for our universe is incredible.”<br />
<br />
The soundtrack is tentatively scheduled for release in September in coordination with the release of the <i>Zombies!!!</i> Ultimate Collector Set and <i>Zombies!!!</i> Ultimate Upgrade Kit.

Midnight Syndicate's new album, <i>Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering </i>is now available on CD (<a href="http://www.midnightsyndicate.com/buymusic.htm" target="_blank">Midnight Syndicate Store</a> / <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014JP8EOU?" target="_blank">Amazon</a>). Orders placed through the <a href="http://www.midnightsyndicate.com/buymusic.htm" target="_blank">Midnight Syndicate Store</a> will receive a set of three limited-edition Midnight Syndicate holiday postcards (while supplies last). The album will be available digitally on October 1st. You can listen to the first preview track, <i><a href="https://youtu.be/XUjpTv6sm3E" target="_blank">Up On The Housetop</a>, </i><a href="https://youtu.be/XUjpTv6sm3E" target="_blank">here now</a> with more coming soon.<br />
<br />
The new album features the band’s unique twist on classic holiday carols blended with new and original material. “Our goal was to treat each song in a way that would merge familiarity with originality,” said Gavin Goszka. “There are definitely recognizable elements, but plenty of additional original material as well. It also incorporates the widest instrument palette we've used to date and represents what we consider to be the most varied collection of songs we've ever released. There are serenely beautiful moments here alongside more intense, darker tracks, and the end result is a thoroughly compelling and involving listening experience.” “With so many Christmas-themed albums out there, we wanted to make this collection uniquely our own,” added Edward Douglas. “I think we were able to do that.”<br />

Midnight Syndicate has announced that their eighteenth album will have a Christmas and Winter Solstice theme. “I think there's a rule that after a band's been around for ‘x’ years they are required to produce a Christmas album. So, that's how we got here,” joked Edward Douglas. “In all seriousness though, a Yuletide-themed Midnight Syndicate album is something our fans have been asking us for since we began; this album will not disappoint them.”<br />
<br />
“I will say that this album has been particularly challenging because we're taking songs that are SO familiar and that have been treated in so many different ways throughout the years and trying to make them uniquely our own,” added Gavin Goszka. “We don't want to make yet another Christmas album - we really want it to stand on its own as something truly original. We hope that it will evoke the spirit of the Yuletide season while also reflecting our ongoing musical style and vision.”
<br />
<br />
Content-wise, the album will be a mix of new material and twists on classics. “I'd describe most of the covers on the album as being reinvented, rather than simply adapted,” said Goszka. “I've found myself approaching this material with a very wide palette and a limited sense of allegiance to convention. That being said, it still has to make sense in some way and stay grounded in the familiar. I think we're stretching our creative wings more than ever here, but there's still a consistency and overall purpose to it.” “The original songs have been a lot of fun to work on,” added Douglas. “I think the fans are in for a lot of pleasant surprises.”<br />
<br />
Fans will not have to wait until Christmas for this present. Midnight Syndicate will be exhibiting at <a href="http://www.dragoncon.org/" target="_blank">DragonCon</a> in Atlanta this year on Labor Day weekend (September 4-7) and plans to have the CD available at the show.<br />

In October of 2014, <i>Midnight Syndicate Live!</i> debuted at Cedar Point’s HalloWeekends event. From the audience response to the <a href="http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201410/4263/" target="_blank">critical reception</a> to record-breaking attendance numbers, the show was an overwhelming success. Although the band will be using 2015 to focus on the new album, plans for a return of <i>Midnight Syndicate Live! </i>in 2016 are already underway. “The success of the inaugural run of Midnight Syndicate Live! has ensured that live Midnight Syndicate shows will be a permanent part of our plans going forward,” said Douglas.<br />
