Nox Arcana is an American gothic horror musical group, formed in 2003 by Joseph Vargo 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, ranked as high as #8 on the Billboard chart for Top Holiday Albums. Their music is used by theme parks such as Busch Gardens, Knott's Scary Farm and Universal Studios during Halloween for scenes and haunted houses based upon Nox Arcana album themes. 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. 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.
