Nox Arcana is an American neoclassical, dark ambient musical duo, formed in 2003 by Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski. Their name in Latin translates to 'mysteries of the night.' All of Nox Arcana's music is released independently on the Monolith Graphics label, a publishing company owned by Joseph Vargo.
Influences
Nox Arcana is influenced by new-age, classical, ambient music, rock music, and film soundtracks, citing other composers such as John Carpenter, Danny Elfman, AC/DC, Wojciech Kilar, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Beethoven, Jerry Goldsmith, and Hans Zimmer. Their literary references include H. P. Lovecraft, Bram Stoker, The Brothers Grimm, Ray Bradbury, and Edgar Allan Poe.
With more than 20 albums and 400 songs released since 2003, Nox Arcana has never re-packaged the same song twice. Their Winter's Knight album, released in 2005, peaked at #8 on the Billboard chart for Top Holiday Album in 2006 and 2007. Three albums, Blood of Angels, Zombie Influx, and House of Nightmares were recorded as side-projects with other artists or vocalists. William Piotrowski released his first solo film soundtrack with Crimson Winter. Joseph Vargo wrote and recorded solo for later albums, Blackthorn Asylum, Winter's Eve, Theater of Illusion, The Dark Tower, Winter's Majesty, Legion of Shadows, and Ebonshire, which has become a series of holiday music EPs released each year.
