Once Upon A Nightmare... Nox Arcana meet the Brothers Grimm
Enter the Darkly Everafter, where goblins, elves and sylvan spirits dwell in an eternally enchanted forest. With Grimm Tales, their ninth release in just four years, Nox Arcana conjure a bewitching soundscape of menacing melodies and creepy narratives that evoke visions of dark fairies, wicked witches, and creatures that lurk in the deepest shadows of our childhood nightmares.
Like several of their other albums, this music is also inspired by classic literature, in this case it is the fearsome folktales of the Brothers Grimm. However, given that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected over 100 stories in their lifetime, Nox Arcana decided to focus on creating an overall atmosphere with their music, that of a dark enchantment rather than focus on any singular story. In fact, Joseph Vargo wrote his own original tale just for this cd. Expressed in poetic verse, it tells of a wicked Witch Queen who has cast a spell upon the land of Faerie, condeming its inhabitants to neverending darkness, and two children who fall asleep one night to awaken in the dark realm. The wayward children set out upon a quest to find a magical Crystal Key which is rumored to open a gateway between the Realm of Fable and their home.
All new shipments of past and present Nox Arcana CDs now contain a hidden riddle! Look for the new cds available exclusively at Spirit Halloween stores during this year's haunted season.
