Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering Press Release

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.”

This really is an amazing album. It takes classic holiday music and intertwines this wonderfully haunting thread throughout that just elevates it to another level. I listen to it every year around the holidays.

This album is my blissful sanctuary at home and in the car from the Mariah Carey and Wham! infested waters that is the retail-store-PA system music during the holidays. Thanks for single-handedly keeping me sane every year since 2015. This album is the gift that keeps on giving. <3

This album is a holiday favorite in our house. Perfect for dark December nights. Not just spooky but some really beautiful Christmas music!

I have a copy of this album. Play this one and close your eyes. Imagine you are in an old Scottish castle at Christmas time, and you discover that it is haunted!
