Press Reviews

Darklife Magazine – “Look no further for a taste of glorious orchestral creepiness, Midnight Syndicate have reached another landmark in their career, growing steadily from release to release and setting with each new album a new standard to the gothic underworld.”

Rotting Flesh Radio – “Midnight Syndicate’s best work yet.”

Rue Morgue – “…and really, if Midnight Syndicate weren’t around at this time of year, I think we would actually have to cancel Halloween.”

Paragon Magazine – “Midnight Syndicate never fails to deliver… It simply is the best music for those who enjoy a little bit of the dark side every now and then, and their evolution creates one masterpiece after another.”

Creature Feature – “highly recommended – this is one CD Halloween lovers must have!”

Wickham’s 2008 Halloween Review – “Definitely worth every penny.”

Hidden Sanctuary – “There is no denying that Midnight Syndicate continue to lead the pack for music destined for haunted attractions, role playing games, film and television. …they have made Halloween music a legitimate genre.”

TheoFantastique – “Midnight Syndicate’s continued contribution of soundtracks to the Halloween holiday position them in such a way as to make an impact upon music associated with the season akin to Disney’s Haunted Mansion from a previous generation.”

Movement Magazine – “Ed and Gavin have mastered the art of creating fear, suspense, and chilling atmospheres in their music… It’s a delightful terrorfest of what awaits in the dark.”

The Drunken Severed Head (October 2, 2008) – “’The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates’ is the CD for conjuring phantoms of the mind’s eye. Your imagination will be inspired and haunted by it.”

Mourning the Ancient – “Alas, another outstanding release from Midnight Syndicate. All of the haunting atmosphere of previous releases returns.”

Bastards of Horror – “It’s a refreshing effort that can chill the hardest of hardcore horror movie fans’ bones and make you feel you are trapped in a Fulci zombie film or a Hammer classic. (Midnight Syndicate) prove again that not since Carpenter’s efforts during the 80s has such a collection fit the horror genre and made you as a horror fan want filmmakers to include this soon-to-be classic collection… I give this perfect fitting horror genre CD four stars out of four stars.”

Synergy Magazine (Australia) – “…the ultimate horror movie soundtrack. I consider this to be their very best thus far! …an innovative and creative horror score.”

Geek in the City – “Midnight Syndicate pays homage to their Gothic horror roots while continuously growing as musicians. ‘Cemetery Gates’ is another gem from a seamlessly endless mine I discovered close to 10 years ago.”

Celebrity Cafe – “Midnight Syndicate flexes some serious bravura muscles here…
