BRILLIANT! Dark, Mysterious, Stirring. May 15, 2008 George Anderson (Huntington Beach, California United States) BRILLIANT! Dark, Mysterious, Stirring. I am a professional magician and Nox Arcana's Music has never failed to inspire and invoke the imagination. It greatly enhances my performances; you can tell by the expressions on the audiences faces. Grimm Tales is a fantastic collection or gothic and haunting melodies. If you are stimulated by this genre of music, you cannot miss with this acquisition. - George Anderson, Magician & Illusionist
Grimm Tales July 14, 2008 This cd is very consistant with Nox Arcana's previous work. I like the quality of their mixes, although I wish it had some more tracks with narration as those work really well around Halloween.
Nox Arcana: The Masters of the Macabre Soundtrack August 7, 2008 Buzz Zombie (www.buzz-works.com) Wow, The Legend continues...Nox Arcana can create the dark atmospheric mood like no other, and be true to the subject matter at the same time. The difference is Nox Arcana get's it, and it shows in their work. Others throw down some tracks and slap a name on it, but not these guys. These are the true masters of the Haunting Soundtrack! Every time a new cd comes out I wonder how can they top the last one, but they do. Grimm Tales is the soundtrack to fairy tales the way they were meant to be VERY DARK. Each track takes you into the world of Grimm Tales and your imagination runs wild. I can't wait for their next cd...
Truly unique soundscape October 14, 2008 Joker (Clinton Twp., MI) The album Grimm Tales is another example of how Nox Arcana is able to venture away from traditional Halloween/horror soundscapes (haunted houses/graveyards/castles/bats/cats/vampires, etc.) and create their own unique setting, in this case a fairy tale land. The music is perfect for playing in the background while playing role playing games or during the Halloween season, or just any time. My favorite tracks are The Hollow, Conjuration, Deep In The Woods, Crone's Caverns, and Castle of Nightmares. I recommend this disc highly.
Phenomenal! October 29, 2008 Tony M. Fowler (Castle Rock, Colorado United States) Grimm Tales landed me in the haunting wonderland and restored the flashback of fairy tales I once believed in. Nox Arcana has delivered beyond creation of diverse melodies from different studio albums; Grimm Tales album has an eerie feel of haunting melodies of the journey in the enchanted land of dark fairy tales. Highlights are Twilight, Once Upon a Nightmare, Shadow Forest, Wicked Heart, Fairy Tale, Labyrinth of Dreams, Ave Sinistra and Darkly Everafter. The rest of the songs are compelling. Once Upon a Nightmare is absolutely phenomenal! Once more, you will hunger for more from Nox Arcana, therefore, acquire all of their albums especially Winter's Knight which is my personal favorite. Change course from the high pressure world, paranoid society and corrupted politics and set the course to the visionary dream; hear the tranquility of orchestration from Nox Arcana. Turn off the annoying radios, life-sucking tubes/liquid crystals and cell phones and listen to Nox Arcana wherever you go and it will open the portal of your imagination and make you believe and create your dreams. Personally, Ghost of Christmas Past is my all time treasured song.
