More great reviews for "Carnival Arcane" from Halloween, haunted house, and amusement park press

More awesome reviews for the Carnival Arcane CD are pouring in! This recent group includes one from an amusement park aficianados viewpoint (Behind The Thrills) as well as ones from a haunted house, home haunter, and Halloween historian's perspective!

Behind the Thrills - "a very ambitious album that hits the mark every single time on every single track - keeping you guessing, and leading you down paths in ways you never thought Midnight Syndicate would take you."

Haunt off the Press - "Midnight Syndicate has another masterpiece on their hands with CARNIVAL ARCANE ... it truly is one hell of an adventure."

Terror from Beyond the Daves - "...this is a must-have for your collection! The music at times is genuinely creepy and yet manages to hold on to the charm that only circus music can provide!"

Halloween Alliance - "...an essential album to add to your horror collection and powerful mood music while celebrating Halloween... 'Carnival Arcane' continues their grand, masterful tradition of storytelling with music, but is even more ambitious than all others - both in the depth, grandeur and creepiness of the music, and in the well-researched and accurate representation of what it would be like to visit a slightly shabby, sinister circus from the Victorian era."

More inside scoop on "Carnival Arcane" from Love It Loud

Only one week till the Lancaster-Rigby Carnival hits town! Writer Christian Sellers shares some more inside info from Ed and Gavin about the upcoming Carnival Arcane disc in this article, just posted on Love It Loud.

First preview track from upcoming "Carnival Arcane" CD released.

Midnight Syndicate has just released a preview track entitled Freakshow from the upcoming CD, Carnival Arcane which will be released August 2nd. The song can be viewed below or on YouTube.




Edward Douglas had this to say "We had a difficult time picking a Carnival Arcane "preview" track as it's hard to single out any one track as being indicative of the CD. There's a lot of things going on in this one. The song we chose is Freakshow as we think it bridges some familiar elements with a taste of some of what's in store... Inspired by research, this track incorporates some of the more tragic elements of carnie life and the original freak shows as well as the macabre. We hope people enjoy it."
