The band’s name Nox Arcana is derived from two Latin words, which roughly translate to “mysteries of the night” (or, better, “Magic of the night”). It is a great interest in ancient lore, gothic literature and classic horror that unites these two composers, Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski, in their neverending quest into shadowy and dangerous realms.

Nox Arcana’s haunting Gothic soundtracks are often used in independent films, in theme parks during Halloween, and for role-playing games. They have created 10 albums of original music in less than 5 years. Nox Arcana’s debut album, Darklore Manor, was featured as the musical score for a televised special of the 1922 silent film classic, Nosferatu, and has spawned a book of original horror stories, The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror.
In keeping with their literary interests, these masters of the macabre pay tribute to many of their favorite authors. Their darkly seductive Transylvania ventures into the land of vampires ala Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The sinister Necronomicon is put to sound in Nox Arcana’s homage to H.P. Lovecraft. Their morbid and melancholy Shadow of the Raven pays tribute to the great Edgar Allan Poe, and their darkly enchanting Grimm Tales album brings the childhood nightmares of the Brothers Grimm to life.

I cant agree with your guys, Blackthorn Asylum is pretty awesome, if you read enough Lovecraft. :)

сами то чем занимаетесь? мне хочется писать и пишу, не видела правил, по которым нельзя писать в рупорах то, что хочется. я делаю не так. здесь практически ничего не слушаю, ищу другими способами. так что не поправляйте меня, я написала собственное мнение!

to FireFynjy <----- Это связано с тем, что трекеры берут свое ;Р популяризация по всем статьям + сарафанное радио

Еще год назад в этом рупоре не было ни одного русского комментария, и вдруг такой наплыв. Интересно, с чем это связано?
