Midnight Syndicate Bio

 

Over the past eleven years, Midnight Syndicate has been creating soundtracks for the imagination. Formed by composer/director Edward Douglas in 1996, the band 's music has become a staple of the Halloween season, in addition to making an impact in the haunted attraction, gothic music, and role-playing game industries. With a catalog of horror music CDs that blend dark, orchestral horror movie score-style music with sound effects, the band consisting of Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka has had it's soundtracks to imaginary films featured in everything from Barbara Walters TV specials and Monday Night Football to X-Box games, Three Six Mafia tracks, and King Diamond heavy metal concerts. Every October Midnight Syndicate's music is featured in hundreds of the world's premiere amusement parks and haunted attractions, as well as in thousands of stores and neighborhoods to provide atmosphere for the Halloween season.

The band has also made an impact in designing music for the role-playing game industry. In 2003, they released the first official soundtrack to the classic role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. In 2006, their CD, The 13th Hour was the first music CD to ever receive the industry's top two awards The Origins Award and the ENnie Award for best gaming accessory.

In February of 2007, the band announced that it would be teaming up with Precinct 13 Entertainment to take on it's biggest project to date. The production of the horror film, The Dead Matter. An updated remake of a film that Edward Douglas produced and directed in 1996, for $2000, The Dead Matter tells the story A vampire relic with occult powers falls into the hands of a grief-stricken young woman who will do anything to contact her dead brother. The atmospheric, story-driven movie will be directed by Edward Douglas with multiple soundtrack CDs to be released by Midnight Syndicate in conjunction with the film. As with their music, The Dead Matter promises to take audiences on a journey into the darkest corners of their imagination and beyond. Production wrapped in September of 2007 and a tentative release date has been set for late-2008.

In January of 2008, Gavin Goszka's solo project, Parlormuse will release it's debut CD, It's Not The Coat Makes The Gentleman. A departure from his dark, atmospheric work with Midnight Syndicate, Gentleman takes popular songs from the Victorian-era and brings them up to date utilizing lush three-part vocal harmonies and a wide range of acoustic and electric instrumentation. In February of 2008, Midnight Syndicate will release it's soundtrack to the horror film, The Rage.
