 Midnight Syndicate - The 13th Hour November 16, 2008
D. Goetz (Duncanville, Texas, USA)
What's more fun than a haunted house? A haunted Victorian mansion! That is the premise for this CD and it works surprisingly well. This is another strong effort from the artistic duo known as Midnight Syndicate. You get mysterious footsteps, creaking doors, and wispering voices along with some hair raising music and sound effects. My favorites tracks on this CD are "Cold Embrace" with its heavy, plodding rhythm line and "The Lost Room" which also has a heavy bass line that drives the piece at a fairly fast pace. Just close your eyes and imagine running down a dark hallway with nothing but a candle to light your way, evil spirits in hot pursuit. This is the kind of music that sets your imagination free. Definitely worth your money.
 Good background music October 24, 2008

I was somewhat disappointed with the cd. I was hoping for something more spookier. This is a compilation of eerie music. Great for background music at our Halloween party, but not spooky or scary.
It might be Midnight Syndicate's best October 4, 2008

The CD The 13th Hour might be Midnight Syndicate's best work, although I am a fan of their first two albums, especially Realm of Shadows. Compared to Nox Arcana's haunted house CD Darklore Manor, this edges it out, though it's close. I recommend this album to anybody wanting to create a Halloween environment in October. It is not overly Gothic and not overly powerful like Darklore Manor is. It is creepy in a more subtle way.
Perfect music if your moving.......... August 28, 2008

I originally bought this cd for Halloween last year.
It worked very well, not the usual screams and generic sounds you get with your usual Halloween cd's.
Midnight Syndicate creates horror movie soundtrack music minus the movie.
Just recently my house sold and I am in the process of moving.
While boxing things up I ran across this cd which I had not listened to since Halloween of last year.
Surprise, surprise I find myself listening to it all the time now.
Besides can anyone tell me anything more horrifying than having to pack all your things, move to a new locale with possibly deranged neighbors, then unpack all your things AGAIN??? Dreadful!!!
The 13th Hour fits in perfect with my mood as of late.
The songs are grand, sweeping, elegant and in places beautiful.
Some of the songs have minor sound fx added to them, but it never comes across as cheesy.
I wouldn't really call the songs scary but they have a definite Halloween feel to them.
The disc opens with one of my favorites,
Mansion in the Mist. Haunting and foreboding.
My other favorite tracks are;
22, Living Walls, beautiful and a tad creepy.
23, Gruesome Discovery, another gorgeous, sonic beauty.
24, Return of the Ancient Ones, creepy with a ton of atmosphere.
I'd give you a song by song breakdown but I don't like music reviews that do that.
Why?
Everyone has their own opinion of what is good or not.
I don't care for song by song breakdowns, I'll make my own decision regarding what songs are good or not.
Just tell me........was it any good or not?
In this case.........good.......VERY GOOD.
Even the songs between # 1 and # 22.
Perfect for Halloween, reading, gaming, if you find yourself moving to a new home.
Or if you're just in a "mood".
I strongly recommend this for fans of Metal, New Age, or anyone who appreciates music that is just a little "different".
The 13th Hour,
Brilliant, different and intriguing.
Highly recommended.
Perfect for reading January 12, 2008

I enjoy listening to Midnight Syndicate's music while reading my Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles novels. I find their dark melodies soothing to keep me calm and relax. Especially in this (bleep) up world.
