Music reviews of House of Nightmares

Music Review: A haunting and thrilling musical gem in honor of All Hallow's Eve
Rating: 5 Stars

Once again, as days grow crisper and shorter, and foliage puts on garments of gold and red instead of green, the world prepares to welcome the eve wherein legend says the lord of the dead would allow the souls of the departed to roam the mortal realm once more for a single night. In homage to that night and that season, we are treated to a new splendid dark symphony courtesy of Jeff "Buzz" Hartz of Buzzworks, teaming once again with Joseph Vargo of Nox Arcana. Join them as they take you on a journey to the:

House of Nightmares

If I could describe House of Nightmares as anything, in any terms., I would call it the perfect tribute to the night to which it pays homage and also to the genre of classic horror. Whereas Zombie Influx was to me like a tip of the hat to classic George Romero zombie films, House of Nightmares is a gripping journey into the tension evoked not only by well put together haunted attractions, but also by classic-time tested horror films of the 50's and 60's as well as further back.

Tracks like the title song "House of Nightmares" "Night Closes In" "Darkness Rising" and many others perfectly capture that old-time feel of ancient dread and tension. Others "such as "The Descent" "The Forgotten Crypt" and "The Nether Realm" are purely atmospheric jewels that again grip the mind and heart. "The Ruins" and "Well of Souls" fit right in with them.

Of course, House of Nightmares is also full of thrilling, heart-pounding macabre energy too. Tracks like "Devil's Night" "Dead Time" "Ancient Evil" and "Shadow Dwellers" are evidence of this. I particularly love the relentless driving bass line in Shadow Dwellers, the beautiful strings in "Ancient Evil", and the haunting blend of pipe organ and harpsichord in "Hallow's Eve". One track, "Unleashed" puts me in the mindset of the theme from Jaws, not in the sense of the melody or anything like that, but because I believe it perfectly captures the spirit of a feeling of being hunted both endlessly and without remorse. I also want to say that the Latin chanting in "Book of the Dead" is genuinely chilling, and that Joseph Vargo's narrative voice work in The Summoning is some of the best he's done in years.

In closing I will say that if you want a great homage to All Hallow's Eve, haunted attractions, and classic horror movies, you would be very hard pressed to find better than House of Nightmares. Jeff Hartz and Joseph Vargo collaborate here for the second time and they give us a jewel more than worthy to stand proudly beside Nox Arcana's own brilliant nocturnal symphonies because of how well it evokes the feelings of tension and heart pounding thrills that it is going for.

Pick it up and give it a listen. I think you will be glad you did. I know I am. Peace.
