Welcome to the House of Nightmares where dark things dwell, lying in wait for anyone who dares to enter. In this old mansion by the cemetery unearthly sounds rise from the shadows and eerie melodies echo in the dead of night, as sinister incantations unleash ancient horrors to haunt the realm of the living. This CD delivers spine-tingling sound effects and dark cinematic music to create an eerie atmosphere of lurking terror.
This splendid combination yields another haunted opus for the Halloween season. House of Nightmares tells a musical story projected by the imagination, where the darkness itself serves as a canvas for dreams, fears and diabolical gratification.
This CD has cemented my conviction that Buzz Works is not simply Nox Arcana working under another name. The musical presence of Jeff Hartz, both in terms of playing and writing abilities, are undeniable and set both this and Zombie Influx apart from the (also awesome) style of Nox Arcana. House of Nightmares is a definite "must have" for both haunters and those who like to play scary music and effects while handing out candy on Halloween.
Whether you're looking for a creepy soundtrack to play on Halloween night or something to set a dark, otherworldly mood, you'll find it all under one haunted roof. House of Nightmares is dripping with sinister melodies and ominous atmosphere.
This is one scary CD!! The soundscapes/sound effects and music contained on the disc are all masterfully performed and are brilliant! This CD is definately a must-own for any true horror fan or Nox Arcana fan or for those who want to enhance the experience of their haunted attraction this Halloween season.
I've been a big fan of Nox Arcana for years and own most of their albums. Although the artist on this recording is "Buzz- Works" it's very much in the vein of Nox Arcana's work (its co-written and produced by Joseph Vargo and engineered by William Piotrowski, the two members of NA). As a huge horror fan who unfortunately can't spend all of his time watching horror movies or reading horror fiction, this is the music that I put on in the background while I do office work to instill that "horror vibe"! Very creepy and atmospheric. If you love gothic horror, you won't be dissappointed with this!
This album feels like a decent mix between Transylvania and Grim Tales. It's deep, dark, and mesmerizing. Truly a great work from Nox Arcana.
