Realm of Shadows is Midnight Syndicate’s second full length
release. The band that makes soundtracks for
movies that do not exist have managed to pull off another
creepy, pseudo-Beethoven from hell experience in a jewel
case.
This twenty-one track Halloweenesque experience from
Entity Productions invites you to “Venture to the Realm of
Shadows where restless spirits arise from unknown
depths to wander the shores of night”. Galvin Gozka and
Edward Douglas create some very interesting (cheesy in
some parts) tracks and my only real issue is with the short
lengths of each track – the longest is five minutes. If you
are into background tunes, Halloween parties, or making
b-rated horror movies, you should already be on your way
to get this.
Personally I enjoy it whenever I listen to it, but it’s the sort
of CD that can only be taken in small doses. I would not
recommend placing it on repeat – it will get irritating
around hour four. – Azriel J. Knight

The third installment from this duo who create gothic/horror
soundtracks for movies that do not exist. For those who
loved their first two releases, Born of the night and Realm of
Darkness, you will not be disappointed. Then again, you
may be, for the same reason. There are not many surprises
on this release, everything is well done, from the production
to the artwork, and yes, even the music! But don’t expect
any drastic changes. This is great background music for
horror houses or anything related to Halloween. – Azriel J. Knight
