An epic soundscape of dark orchestrations, chanting choirs, mystical melodies and medieval minstrel songs sets the perfect mood as you traverse dark kingdoms ruled by sword and sorcery

notes

Nox Arcana invites listeners to enter a mythical realm of fantasy with Blood of the Dragon, an epic sword-and-sorcery soundscape that beckons listeners to set out upon an ancient quest through dark kingdoms ruled by wizards and warriors and to battle alongside barbarian hordes, elven mages and knights of legend.

The music ranges from medieval minstrel ballads on acoustic guitars and flutes to powerfully orchestrated instrumental pieces accompanied by chanting choirs. The haunting and majestic themes evoke forgotten realms, from the stormy Celtic highlands to ancient Egyptian temples, from mystical towering citadels to the Stygian depths of the Underworld.

The album also contains a legendary quest for an ancient prize known as the Treasure of the Four Crowns. According to arcane lore, the treasure was gathered by the kings of the four ancient realms and hidden deep in the earth long ago. The treasure yet lies buried, awaiting anyone clever enough or bold enough to discover it.

Blood of the Dragon conveys a musical story along the lines of classic movie soundtracks like "Conan," "The 13th Warrior," and "The Lord of the Rings." The cd booklet is also filled with stunning fantasy artwork by Vargo and contains several paintings of dragons, warriors, and exotic enchantresses.

  • PROVOCATIVE AND ENTERTAINING!

    Shades of Carmina Burana and LOTR! Great soundtrack material for the first Sword and Sorcery stage or movie musical. Nox Arcana's music is entertaining, provocative, intense, edgy and dramatic.

  • Awesome!

    Nox Arcana has surpassed Midnight Syndicate with this cd. this cd is much better then Midnight Syndicate's "Dungeons and Dragons". My complaint about Midnight Syndicate is that they are not making any new material, just rehashing their old, and overlaying sound effects. This cd is gritty, and dramatic. I was playing it in my car, and driving a coworker who only listens to heavy metal music. He thought this cd was cool, and wanted to know where I got it. This is the best of Nox Arcana's cd's I have heard so far.

  • another excellent cd from nox arcana!
