This musical tribute to Edgar Allan Poe delves deep into the haunted realms of the literary master of the macabre with symphonies that weave a lush tapestry of Victorian elegance and Gothic nightmares. Nox Arcana invites listeners to explore the shadows of a dark soundscape filled with ghostly melodies, mournful dirges, eerie sound effects and ominous orchestrations. The cd booklet is filled with original artwork from gothic fantasy artist Joseph Vargo, and contains a hidden "gold bug" riddle. (1 CD, 21 tracks, 66 mins.)
