Nox Arcana is an American gothic horror musical group, formed in 2003 by Joseph Vargo (previously of Midnight Syndicate) and William Piotrowski. Their music has dark overtones and bears some stylistic resemblance to certain subgenres of New Age and Gothic music. Their Winter's Knight album, released in 2005, was given a #8 ranking by Billboard for Christmas music.
Nox Arcana cites gothic fiction and classic horror literature as primary sources of inspiration for their concept albums. Such literary references include: H. P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, and Edgar Allan Poe. Some of their albums also make reference to medieval themes and ancient mythology.[1]
