Halloween Overkill – “…you will be instantly transported to a foggy cliffside castle, or a romp through an ancient european forest, or even perhaps a creepy old village where something is ‘not quite right’. Easily one of my favorite Midnight Syndicate releases. 5 out of 5.”
Dead With Dave (Video Review) – “One of the most compelling Halloween CDs I have ever heard. In all reality, I expected nothing less from the kings of the Halloween music industry.” Following the review be sure to check out a really slick promo video for Black Woods featuring horror film classic clips from over the decades!
Kingdom Horror – “The atmosphere in ‘Monsters of Legend’ explores classic horror and takes a journey through conventional inspiration in what may be the finest display of gothic music ever produced. ‘Monsters of Legend’ and the evil geniuses behind its creation that have entertained audiences for over a decade will become timeless tributes to the genre that has fascinated audiences for over a century.”
