A re-issue of Midnight Syndicate's 2000 gothic instrumental classic, "Realm of Shadows." One of the early albums that helped define the band's signature sound, this re-issue features the original recordings, a new introductory track, and a previously unreleased bonus track entitled, "Serenade," taken from the original studio sessions. "Far beneath the shadow of the Dark Tower and beyond a clearing known as Raven's Hollow lie the ruins of a village. No one is certain what arose from the deep the fateful night that the village was laid to waste, but travelers now report shadows moving through the deserted streets and a solitary light shining from the old town square. Dare to discover the curse that befell this forsaken place as you venture forth into the Realm of Shadows." ### Midnight Syndicate is Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka.
