Best of Nox Arcana

It's October, which means it's officially SPOOKY TIME!!!

So, here's a list of all the best Nox Arcana songs. Whether you use it as background music for your haunted house, or just like to listen to it on a regular basis, these are the most beautiful and most classic Nox Arcana songs. They're arranged in no particular order, just what I thought would sound good, though most of my favorites are near the top. Please be aware that these are only from the albums I've listened to, so they may not be the best of all time. (I can't post videos for each one, so you'll have to look them up on Youtube or iTunes yourself)
"We Are Legion" - Legion of Shadows (this song speaks for itself. Every album starts with a short voice recording that sets up the context of the album)
"Night of the Wolf" - Transylvania (most popular song)
"Labyrinth of Dreams" - Grimm Tales (my all-time personal favorite!)
"Into the Night" - Legion of Shadows (another personal favorite)
"Shadow Dance" - Season of the Witch (easily the best song from the latest album)
"Echoes of Elise" - Ebonshire Vol. 3 (a haunting cover of "Für Elise")
"Hearthside Lullaby" - Ebonshire Vol. 2 (so beautiful and calming, especially in comparison to most of NA's other music)
"Magic and Moonlight" - Winter's Eve (mystical!)
"The Hidden Realm" - Legion of Shadows
"The Raven" - Shadow of the Raven (based off the poem by Edgar Allen Poe, this song reintroduced me to Nox Arcana and offically started the craze) 
"Ebonshire" - Winter's Knight
"Haunted" - The Dark Tower
"Haunted Carousel" - Carnival of Lost Souls (you want creepy carnival music, you've got it!) 
"The Dark Tower" - The Dark Tower (ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE!)
"Crimson Thirst" - The Dark Tower
"Born of the Night" -The Dark Tower
"Dark Desire" - The Dark Tower (honestly I reccommend this entire album. Listen to it while reading the books!)
"Noctem Aeternus" - The Dark Tower (dark and dramatic, with a very creepy surprise in the middle!) 
"Nocturne" - Transylvania (classic)
"Pandora's Music Box" - Carnival of Lost Souls (also classic)
"The Forgotten Path" - Grimm Tales (mysterious and kind of sexy) 
"Unhallowed Halls" - Gothic 
"Twilight" - Grimm Tales
"Saturnalia" - Winter's Majesty (totally brings to mind a ritualistic circle dance) 
"Gifts of the Magi" - Winter's Eve
"Undying Love" - The Dark Tower (romantic, and threatening!)
"Legion of Shadows" - Legion of Shadows (yes, demons are coming for your souls. Except the demon is YOU!)
"Shadowplay" - Theatre of Illusion (a fast-paced piece full of dark magic)
"Highland Storm" - Blood of the Dragon (the only Celtic-sounding song NA has)
"Pax Terra" - Winter's Eve (a gorgeous Lain hymn that's oddly uplifting. Nox Arcana gloriam!)
"Toccata" - Legion of Shadows (oh, come on, it's freaking Toccata and Fugue in D Minor!)


("Greensleeves" from Winter's Eve isn't technically on this list because it's particularly Christmasy, but I'm mentioning it anyway because I love it so much.)
