Top-selling Halloween composers Midnight Syndicate take on Yuletide classics with the release of their Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering album
CLEVELAND, Ohio (Sept. 10, 2015) – For over 18 years, the music of gothic instrumental composers Midnight Syndicate has been used to set the atmosphere in haunted attractions, amusement parks, stores, and homes worldwide during the Halloween season. Now, with Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering, listeners will find out what happens when Midnight Syndicate takes them on a Yuletide-inspired musical journey. The CD version of the album was released today, with the digital version becoming available on Thursday, October 1st.

The new album features the band’s unique twist on classic holiday carols blended with new and original material. “Our goal was to treat each song in a way that would merge familiarity with originality,” said Gavin Goszka. “There are definitely recognizable elements, but plenty of additional original material as well. It also incorporates the widest instrument palette we’ve used to date and represents what we consider to be the most varied collection of songs we’ve ever released. There are serenely beautiful moments here alongside more intense, darker tracks, and the end result is a thoroughly compelling and involving listening experience.” “With so many Christmas-themed albums out there, we wanted to make this collection uniquely our own,” added Edward Douglas. “I think we were able to do that.”

Looking for some fun viewing this Halloween season? Might we suggest our 2010 film, The Dead Matter? An indie horror b-movie that blends vampires, zombies, necromancy, and plenty of plot twists, "The Dead Matter" is a fun ride starring horror legend Tom Savini, Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster), and Jason Carter (Babylon 5). Shot entirely on Super 16mm film, the movie has become a bit of a time capsule with it's retro 70s/early-80s horror vibe. It was made with a lot of heart and soul and we hope you enjoy it. The movie is available on Amazon, Apple TV, Roku, Reveel, and Tubi. Visit the official website or JustWatch dot com for a complete list of viewing options.
