Nox Arcana reaches ONE MILLION plays on My Space. The band also has over 1000 fan-made videos on Youtube. These impressive numbers are virtually unheard of for an independent artist that doesn't tour and doesn't receive mainstream airplay.

"I want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support. Our music touches people in a powerful and emotional way, and our fans express their feelings in very creative ways. You are the greatest." — Joseph Vargo

Nox Arcana have collaborated with Jeff Hartz of Buzz-Works to create Zombie Influx, a creepy audio experience that creates the terror and  panic of a zombie invasion through the use of frantic emergency news broadcasts,  ambient sound effects and ominous cinematic music. A lifelong fan of George  Romero's classic zombie films, as well as Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series,  Jeff was inspired to create Zombie Influx as a tribute to the movies  that warped his mind. Co-written and produced by Joseph Vargo and engineered  by William Piotrowski, the music incorporates the retro feel of George Romero's  classic zombie films with the darkwave soundtracks of movies like Return  of the Living Dead and Resident Evil.

Monolith Graphics proudly announces The Legend of Darklore Manor and Other Tales of Terror, an anthology of thirteen horror stories by Joseph Vargo, Joseph Iorillo and Timothy Bennett. The book includes several stories from Dark Realms Magazine plus an original novella based on Nox Arcana's haunting concept album, Darklore Manor, hailed by critics and fans alike as a "gothic masterpiece."

A Dark and Sinister History:
In 2003, Nox Arcana unleashed the first of their gothic concept albums with Darklore Manor, a classically sinister soundscape set in a haunted Victorian mansion, where spirits of the dead do not rest easy, nor do they find release from their eternal suffering... The story that accompanies the cd tells of a cursed family bloodline, arcane magical rites and vengeful ghosts. A great deal of original research went into uncovering the history of the Darklore family, as evidenced on the Nox Arcana website. Now, this legendary tale, only hinted at previously, will be told.

Hearken ye pirates and black-hearted sea dogs...
