MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE RELEASES FIRST-EVER LIVE ALBUM

 CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11, 2021 – Nearly three decades into their career, dark music pioneers Midnight Syndicate will release their first live album, Live Shadows, on June 11. Recorded between 2014 and 2019 at their multimedia Midnight Syndicate Live! shows at Cedar Point HalloWeekends, the album features new material and newly-arranged live versions of music spanning their career. A series of music videos highlighting each of their four Midnight Syndicate Live! productions are being released along with the album. Live Shadows will be available digitally and on CD and limited-edition purple vinyl.

“This album distills four years’ worth of immersive live performances into a collection of tracks that we feel truly represents the essence of these shows,” said Gavin Goszka.

“To this point, all of our shows have had their runs at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio,” added Edward Douglas, “so releasing this album and the accompanying music videos gives us a chance to share a part of the Midnight Syndicate Live! experience with fans wherever they may live,” added Edward Douglas.

We appreciate everyone's help! Thank you!

Hands down Amber & Oak, haunting and beautiful

Mr. Jingles...just what happens in it!? Oh, and pitching an idea for your next album: fireside frights..just imagine the album opening with the roar of a fire, with a scary story being told...melting into spooky acoustic guitar, all the while leaves rustle in the trees above. Crickets chirping ---

Ok, here it goes. I'm gonna TRY to pick a favorite.....Fellowship of the HouseNo, wait! Saturnalia..... or The Incomparable Mr. Jingles. Yeah.No, no, no. Definitely Amber & Oak....But Descending, Green Room, and The Brimstone Club are all great tracks too.........Crap. I can't narrow it down to just one..... but it's between one of these I listed.

Is this available on vinyl at Cedar Point? I must have this album! Thank you! This music is great!

It's hard to say. They are all great

First off I need to get this album.

I’m torn between The Brimstone Club and Vodou

Honestly I find every track on the album delightful as always. You both never cease to amaze me with your skill as composing hauntingly beautiful music. It would be hard to pick a single track in yet another well composed album when they're all amazing.

I’m loving the whole album but Amber & Oak is my favorite.

As of right now....Underbelly.

Amber & Oak with the title track as a very close 2nd

Saturnalia, The Rite and The Chosen

Saturnalia tied with opening track.

I love them all but Amber & Oak is definitely my favorite!

The Green Room.

I chose Amber and oak. As this solidifies my story. Others are either too specific, too generic Midnight syndicate or an intermediate story mover/setting maker. Saturnalia and behind the curtain are close.

Amber and Oak

Amber & Oak! The tempo gives me Grisly Reminder vibes!

Top 3. Brimstone club, saturnalia, behind the curtain.

They're all so good, but the one I "feel" the most is Underbelly.

Fortune‘s Folly (and Vodou).Ritual is very creepy. I can hear Kayako Saeki

Not positive but leaning towards Fortunes Folly followed by Mr. Jingles

I'm enjoying the entire album but I am currently liking the Green Room. I feel that I'm transported there in the song and trying to imagine all of the acts awaiting to perform.

How do you chose just one? I love the entire album as it has a darker tone to it…but the track “Ritual” hits differently - I get serious Grudge vibes from it. Goosebumps!!
