The latest from Midnight Syndicate

Beyond the cemetery gates the dead do not rest easily. An ancient Egyptian relic, vampires, and the living dead lurk amongst its shadowy crypts. Midnight Syndicate beckons you into the dark world that inspired a major motion picture....

Midnight Syndicate's first all-original, independent release in three years, the long-anticipated The Dead Matter: Cemetery Gates will be unleashed this August.

Midnight Syndicate guest stars in new horror fiction



Over the years, the band has been contacted by fellow artists who enjoy listening to the music while working on their own creations. Several of the artists that have contacted us over the past year are featured at Legions of the Night. Recently, two authors have incorporated Midnight Syndicate into their stories.

Reminiscent of the old Kiss comic books, the first is Phantom Music Box, one of the latest in Chris Cantrell's Asylumantics comic book series. In this story, an ancient music box has been discovered that is rumored to have the power to control the dead. Supernatural artifact collectors Midnight Syndicate are in a race against time to retrieve the box before it falls into the wrong hands.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a zombie was bitten by a vampire? Can jinn and demons make zombies? Why is Midnight Syndicate playing a vampyre club and why does a zombie attack during their first set? The answers to these questions and more can be found in Empty Graves a very original and entertaining collection of zombie-themed short stories for fans of the undead. The book, written by Murphy's Lore's Patrick Thomas, is now on sale at Amazon.

The Rage reviews are in...

DnD Gate (Germany) (4/13/08) - "On one side, there is the superb style of MS, which one has heard before in other productions, on the other side one can find a new style, which hits the horror film genre perfectly – like the so called fist in the eye . . . smoldering together to an extreme terrifying and dark sound . . ."

Movement Magazine (4/8/08) - "Midnight Syndicate has conjured up a terrifying score that will have you hanging onto the edge of your seat, even in it's most subtle moments . . . All the releases that they have done before have been leading up to an album like this."

Deadbolt Magazine (4/3/08) - "While the driving force of this album lies in its heart-pounding sequences, it truly reaches a zenith in the ominous portions that deliver more subtle nuances of fear."

Doc Gangrene (3/18/08) - ". . . every bit as atmospheric, dark and suspensful as previous Midnight Syndicate releases. . . really first rate"

Bastards of Horror (3/5/08) - "The music is excellent, has a great horrifying feel to it, flows beautifully like the "Hellraiser" movie soundtrack, and with every note you can visualize every scene from the film like a soundtrack should be. . . Midnight Syndicate’s soundtrack to “The Rage” does just that to near perfection."

Fangoria Musick Blog -"Midnight Syndicate has been haunting their listeners for 11 years now, and their experience in creating tense atmospheres can really be heard in this CD."
