MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE RELEASES ZOMBIES!!! BOARD GAME SOUNDTRACK

CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 8, 2016 – Award-winning composers and dark music pioneers Midnight Syndicate have released the Zombies!!! Official Board Game Soundtrack. The new release features Midnight Syndicate’s signature blend of sound effects and instrumental music set in the modern day, post-zombie apocalypse world of the Zombies!!! board game. “We wanted to design a soundtrack that would not only heighten the Zombies!!! game play experience, but also appeal to all fans of zombies and our friends in the haunted attraction industry,” said Edward Douglas. “I think we were able to achieve that.”

“Given the character and core elements of the game, I think that both of us immediately felt that this album should focus on having a more modern, aggressive sound. In order to achieve that, we brought in a lot of electronic and percussive instruments and kept the fundamental game scenarios firmly in mind, approaching it more as an actual soundtrack than as a collection of songs built around a particular theme or setting. While there are a few tracks that are more situation or location-specific, most are intended to evoke the general feel and atmosphere of the game world, allowing you to play along without interruption,” added Gavin Goszka.

“The soundtrack is a perfect complement to the game,” added Twilight Creations co-founder, Kerry Breitenstein. “I couldn’t be more excited for the Zombies!!! fans to hear it, let alone the rest of the world!”

The album is available at www.MidnightSyndicate.com as well as digitally on CDBaby, iTunes, and Amazon.com.

Every October, their music can be heard setting the atmosphere in haunted houses, amusement parks, television and radio shows, restaurants, stores, and homes worldwide. In 2015, they were included with seminal horror music acts like Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Bobby “Boris” Pickett, John Carpenter, and Rob Zombie in Rue Morgue Magazine’s 50 Essential Horror Albums – Discs That Created, Evolved, or Defined Genre Music Over the Decades.

Cassette has a nice sound of it's own no doubt. Great for certain types of music, especially rock or heavy bass. Analog recording always feels like it's more.. "alive" and "softer" in a sense.

I can hear the clicking of the 8 track in the background 🙄😂 I heard they were making a comeback also. Reto release? On cassette? Not 8 track, do they even make those players anymore?

CD--YES! Cassette--no way. I remember those days--the tape getting twisted, or worse yet, caught in the machine!! Not big on "vinyl", either. Still have my collection (original), but lots of them have scratches from LOTS of use....

I remember buying my “haunted house sounds” cassettes as a kid in the 80’s. I proudly blasted the cheap sounds of chains and boooooos that made my Halloween ambience. Now we have these masterpieces from MS.

Love this. I did hear that cassettes are making a comeback.

Is this an early April fools joke?! 😀

Any plans to release the classic albums on vinyl?

Rerelease your debut album on cd! It's the only one I don't own.

We dig it! Long live cassettes!

Love your music haunting excellent. play it all October long👻💀🎃

I need those cassettes!

I never want to see a cassette tape again or at least I never want to use them… ever.

Oh, how I would ❤️❤️❤️ to have those back in my physical collection 🐱

That format CAN be really good, IF high bias or metal bias tape is used, along with HXPro and Dolby B noise reduction. Charge an extra dollar or two, if needed.

Cassette would be awesome

I still hope to get the Midnight Syndicate selftiteled album on cd some day, as far as i can gather it os the only one missing.

I love to be nostalgic, but cassette tapes were hell.

The first album !!!!! That thing is impossible to find!!!! Always wanted a copy

Yes!! I have BOTN on cassette! Fingers crossed I'll run across the self-titled tape one day!

This is great!

This is awesome!! 🖤

Me outside your window with a Midnight Syndicate cassette when pumpkin spice season hits.

I have all the CDs!

I have the one on the right on CD.

Wow that’s cool I never saw a cassett from you guys
