The Necronomicon is said to contain the lost knowledge
of the Elder Gods, the ancient lords of darkness that held dominion
over the Earth aeons ago. Believed to hold the key to opening
forgotten gateways between worlds, the text prophesies the return
of the Great Old Ones and contains forbidden rituals of summoning
that will bring about their resurrection.
Now, for the first time ever, the Necronomicon is set to music with this dark symphony by
Nox Arcana. This epic concept album based on H.P. Lovecraft's
legendary book of shadows features a mixture of exotic, dark
fantasy themes with 21 tracks of ominous orchestrations, Gothic
choirs, Egyptian and Middle-Eastern melodies, eerie voices and
otherworldly chants. This musical grimoire is a spellbinding
tribute to the Cthulhu Mythos—a
powerful and sinister soundtrack to evoke your darkest nightmare.
This cd is dedicated to the memory
of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, with special thanks to August Derleth
and Arkham House for keeping the mythos alive.
