Description

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the circus of the strange, the sideshow of the sinister and the theatre of the bizarre... dare to enter The Circus Diabolique, an eerie carnival that rises from the shadows every one-hundred years. Once darkness has descended on the grounds, the true faces of its diabolical denizens are revealed...

Nox Arcana invites you to immerse yourself in a soundscape of dark orchestrations, haunting melodies, and chilling sound effects. The band also kicks things up a notch with a rock version of the song Spellbound, on a special hidden track at the end of the album.

"This is a fantastic album, creating a nightmare world, which this reviewer didn't want to leave. I highly recommend all of Nox Arcana's aural horrors, and Carnival Of Lost Souls is no exception. As fans of fright will quickly see these ghouls know how to create unearthly terror deep in the minds eye."
-- Josh Haney, Hacker's Source

"Carnival of Lost Souls is one of the boldest moves Nox Arcana has made to date... Overall, this CD shows off Nox Arcana's skill and musicianship with a large breadth of composition set within a very, challenging setting. This isn't a CD about scary clowns with bad makeup and evil flamethrowers; this is music that tells the story of the frightened child within all of us, swept away by the Carnival of Lost Souls."

Joseph Vargo is a music composer, published author, and internationally acclaimed artist. His visions of gothic fantasy have graced the covers of several books and cds, appeared in numerous publications including Spectrum III, Carpe Noctem, Dark Realms, Bite Me, and Dark Visions, and has been used for set design by broadcast companies such as NBC, Universal, 20th Century Fox, A&E and The Discovery Channel. He began his professional artistic career in 1991 and achieved worldwide status by 1993 with the release of a series of art collections entitled "Born of the Night." In 1998 and 1999 Vargo directed and produced two popular Halloween soundtracks, "Born of the Night," and "Realm of Shadows," and to this day his influential sound and ominous voice resonates in almost every haunted house and theme park across the U.S. during Halloween. During the following years, he created various artistic and literary projects; most notably to date is "The Gothic Tarot" and the illustrated gothic anthology "Tales from the Dark Tower." In 2003, he returned to the music arena with his new band, Nox Arcana, to compose the haunting melodies and darkly themed orchestrations that are a trademark of his gothic realm.

WILLIAM PIOTROWSKI began his professional music career at the early age of 15 when he was hired to create the musical score for an independent video production entitled "Ghosts of Ohio," a video documentary about the original "Ghost Whisperer," now a TV series on CBS. In 2003, he joined forces with Joseph Vargo to compose and engineer the foreboding orchestrations for Nox Arcana. William plays several instruments including guitar and keyboards, and is well versed in midi and digital recording technology. William's interests in the realm of the supernatural are reflected in his dark, symphonic compositions and his expertise as a studio engineer enables him to bring Nox Arcana's artistic visions to life.

The name Nox Arcana is derived from two Latin words, which roughly translate to "mysteries of the night." It is a great interest in ancient lore, gothic literature and classic horror that unites Vargo and Piotrowski in their neverending quest into shadowy and dangerous realms.
