Denizen Posts: 4 08/22/08 10:17	I was curious to see what themes everyone would like to see in the future. The two that i have wanted the most have come to fruition in Carnival Of Lost Souls, and now Phantoms of the High Seas.... I have thought of possibly a double-album concept regarding "heaven" and "hell" might be interesting....although i dont know how to convey darkness and creepiness with the "heaven" side... Also maybe albums based on ancient Aztec, Egyptian, or Oriental influence...if anyone can accomplish these Nox Arcana can! Let me know what ya'll think! (yes i said ya'll...lol i'm a Texan afterall..lol)

Shadow Lord Posts: 585 08/23/08 2:07	I remember there being another thread for this kind of discussion somewhere, but I can't remember where it was. I have complete confidence in Nox Arcana's God-given talents to musically "paint" any picture or to tell any tale they wish, be it an ode to an ancient culture, or whatever else they choose. The thing that amazes me most about Nox Arcana is their versatility in style, theme, tone and other things. They always walk the line perfectly between the eerie and the epic, the haunting and the horrific, the terrifying and the tantalizingly beautiful. That said, I do confess I find it hard to see how anyone could put menace into "heavenly" music or convey beauty in music depicting the horrors of Hell. Still, I do believe that Nox Arcana has the God-given skill and talent to do anything they want to do. It will be interesting to find out what they will do in the future, whatever that might be.

I recently posted in the "Sinister Sounds" thread that I would be thrilled to see Nox Arcana, do a THEMED CD based on the writings of Mary Shelley's, infamous Frankenstein Novel! They have already done the Transylvania CD, based on the writings of Bram Stoker's, Dracula...so for me, it would be quite fitting to do a THEMED CD, based on Mary Shelley's Masterpiece...gotta love Frankenstein's, Monster! Actually, it would be awesome if Nox Arcana did a whole series of THEMED discs relating to the CLASSIC monsters...ie. Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, the Phantom of the Opera, etc. ...they already have done Dracula with their Transylvania disc and i'm sure that they could do any of the other classic monsters as well. They could do it in a way so that Universal Studios couldn't hassle them, like how they had done with Dracula and their Transylvania disc.

Denizen Posts: 75 08/23/08 3:39	I think I would like to see a CD dedicated to the northern myths... Snow covered valleys, where shadows lurk, and where many horrors may hide... Vampires, werewolves, sylvan spirits, restless dead awoken from their slumber to serve a dark wizard... A mixture of the great Grimm Tales with the excellet Winter's Knight.

Shadow Lord Posts: 588 08/23/08 8:08	For a minute I thought Wolfheart could have meant Norse myth. Legends of the Ragnarok and so on and so forth. Whatever they do next, God willing, I'll be waiting eagerly to get it and hear it.

Denizen Posts: 76 08/24/08 9:33	Or even better, Nox Arcana chosing a few talented individuals in this forum (like JRCME and others) and making music out of their poems

Denizen Posts: 91 08/24/08 10:36	What I think would be really interesting would be CD's based on urban legends/ghost stories, a ghostly masquerade, Halloween, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, and a haunted nightclub. Some great ideas in this thread

Denizen Posts: 38 08/24/08 11:00	I have been showing Nox Arcana to my brother and he thinks that the ultimate test for them would be the "Haunted Jungles of Ancient Mexico (Aztecs)" I think Nox Arcana would have fun doing a Celtic CD. They seem to have a lot of fun with Celtic Pieces (such as Highland Storm, Angels are Weeping, and the fiddle piece heard on the Phantoms of the High Seas Overture)

Nightstalker Posts: 108 08/24/08 11:56	I too, like alot of the other ideas that have been presented here...especially the Viking raidings and pillaging, Sam Hain( Halloween), Dr. Jekyll/ Mr.Hyde( falls under the CLASSIC monster/horror films i was talking about), ...Norse Mythology, there's alot of THEMES left for Nox Arcana to explore...a THEME based on Jack the Ripper is one, also a THEME centered around the story of Lizzy Borden, then there are plenty of Creature Legends and Myths for them yet to explore as well.

Nightstalker Posts: 109 08/24/08 12:11	I think a THEMED disc surrounding the stories of the Roswell Crash of July 1947 would be an excellent choice of musical exploration and story telling and a totally different musical approach as well.

Denizen Posts: 92 08/24/08 2:22	A Haitian voodoo/bayou theme could work well too, I think. Regarding the earlier-mentioned 'Heaven' idea and how to make it darker, a suggestion would be to have it deal with 'fallen angels'.

Denizen Posts: 78 08/24/08 4:23	About the Heaven\Hell CD... The Heaven half could be something beautiful, like Winter's Knight, that cd wasn't horrifying. To me, Nox Arcana isn't the horrifying parts of gothic culture, they are rather the embelishment of those parts, the beauty in the macabre and the morbid. But I would really like to see them making music out of the works of folks in this forum

Maybe Nox Arcana will do it in time, i'm hoping so. ...and this brings up the idea for a different musical direction which in my opinion is a good thing. While we can always expect greatness from Nox Arcana, we also know that change could be good, too...and thats why I would like to hear them take on other themes that have more of a different musical direction than some of their past releases, while still incorporating their own unique style.

Darkling Posts: 14 08/24/08 6:26	I would have to agree with the Norse myths, it reminds me of some of my metal CDs. Also, I'm not sure if it would work or not, but what about a Celtic kind of theme...though that may in itself be neccesarily dark...but I don't know, just a thought really.

Denizen Posts: 40 08/24/08 7:31	I'm thinking some Stephen King inspired things.... we have Carrie, the telekinetic teenager; Pet Sematary, where the dead are alive and well, walking this earth; It, a ruthless child-killing being lurking right underneath our feet; The Shining, a realm into which a man crosses the line between normalicy and insanity...... should I keep going???? Or TRUE horror film influences- such as Hitchcock. SWEENEY TODD!!! Lol. That would rock as well.

Denizen Posts: 7 08/25/08 2:03	I am LOVING some of these ideas! The Celtic theme...a must for me...Highland Storm is one of my all time fave NA tracks! The Roswell theme...LOVE IT...i was trying to think of a cool way for NA to do some sci-fi type stuff...and you hit the nail on the head with that one! Haitian/Voodoo theme...hell yes! thats some dark material! I'd also like to see a lil cajun flair thrown in there! a Stephen King based cd could be awesome! I'm liking the ideas on the "Heaven" theme too, glad you guys knew where to take it....i just thought the concept would be cool...lol I really like the idea of doing something beautiful like Winter's Knight with it...Hell if Opeth can do a damn near all acoustic cd...then by god NA can pull the "heaven" theme off!! am i right?!? How about something along the lines of a Mad Professor theme? something that could incorporate elements of Frankenstein, along with Jeckyl and Hyde...since they both deal with deranged scientists....dunno...could work! have lil samples of bubbling flasks, and electricity flowing...maniacal laughing.. etc... Kinda a longshot...i'd like to see an old Wild West theme...ghost towns, spirits of gunfighters forever dueling in limbo...abandoned mines, avenging spirits of the native americans......what do ya'll think?

Shadow Lord Posts: 589 08/25/08 2:48	A Celtic theme i would pull for heavily. An Old West theme? Potential there. No question Sci-fi music from Nox Arcana would definitely be a new direction, potential for dark/eerie and exotically beautiful, with an other-worldly touch. Could they do music to deepict Heaven? Yes. I know they could. There's some really good ideas here. I'll just be happy though to find out what they'll do next, whenever they decide to let us know.

Shadow Lord Posts: 590 08/25/08 1:19	I wouldn't be surprised if somebody already mentioned this, but I'd really like to see Nox Arcana do a CD based on the stories in the book "Tales From The Dark Tower". The stories just seem to lend themselves to musical depiction. It would make me smile. That much I do know.
