Nox Arcana Giveaway
September 1st, 2010 by John Wolfe
Update 10/12: This giveaway has closed. I’d like to congratulate all the winners: Matthew A. of Durham, NC won “Theater of Illusion.” Camile Coyne of Waxahachie, TX won “Blackthorn Asylum.” Ssflipo13 of Buffalo, NY won “Blackthorn Asylum.” Jacob Sinacola of Midland, MI won “Blackthorn Asylum.” And Goldie of California won “Zombie Influx.” And thanks again to everyone who entered. Prepare to meet with phantom magicians performing feats of nightmarish proportions on a dark stage; tortured souls and imprinted elements of psychotic minds haunting the halls of an abandoned sanitarium; and undead corpses — too hungry to be held by the grave — ravaging the world of the living. These are the creatures and ethereal beings lurking within the tracks of Nox Arcana’s albums: “Theater of Illusion,” “Blackthorn Asylum” and “Zombie Influx.”
Nox has been kind enough to give Season of Shadows five brand new CDs to present to five separate winners in this giveaway. I have one copy of their newest release, Theater of Illusion; three copies of Blackthorn Asylum, and one copy of Zombie Influx. The first number to be drawn will receive Theater of Illusion. The next three numbers drawn will receive Blackthorn Asylum and the fifth and final number drawn will receive Zombie Influx. For more info on entry guidelines, see below.
Before entering, please take time to visit Nox Arcana’s website and show them some love while you’re there. Without their generosity, this cool giveaway would not have been possible. I’d like to thank Christine Filipak, Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski for their amazing kindness and for the hours of wonderfully haunting listening pleasure they’ve provided to Season of Shadows visitors. Thanks guys! You totally rock!
If you’re unfamiliar with Nox Arcana’s work, you can checkout a few of their tracks in the SOS Halloween Radio section, too.
It’s always a priority to get prizes shipped out as quickly as possible in any of my giveaways, but especially when they close during the month of October. I’ll be doing my best to make sure each winner has their CD by Halloween.
Please, only one entry per household. Duplicate entries from the same IP will be deleted. These giveaways are really based on the honor system, but I do my best to make it as fair as possible for everyone. There’s no catch here, everything is free — including payment of shipping and handling for the Nox Arcana CDs — I cover all costs. To be entered, leave a comment below showing your interest.
Depending upon the volume of entries, comments may only be displayed under this post for a short time. As entries grow, I may remove comments to make it easier for visitors to scroll to the comment box and enter. However, I guarantee all entries will be saved in the order they are received.
When leaving a comment, be sure to include your correct e-mail address and be certain to keep track of your spam or bulk folder after the drawing closes, just in case. Each winner will be contacted through the e-mail address that’s registered with their comment. I will never share addresses, provided by entrants, with any third parties and you’ll never receive unsolicited mail when entering.
This Nox Arcana contest will end at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on October 7th, 2010. All legitimate entries will then be assigned a number in the order they were received. Five numbers will be randomly drawn to determine the winners.
All five winners will then be notified, via the email addresses they provided, no later than October 8th. If one, or all five don’t respond (with their shipping information) within two weeks, then one (two, three, four or five) more number(s) will be drawn to determine the new winner(s). Upon receiving their permission, the winners names will be featured at the top of this post.
If you would like to see your Halloween or paranormal website or business promoted through SOS and you have some appropriately themed items to give away, please contact me.

I can’t think of a more perfect giveaway right before Halloween. If I win, I’ll be cranking their discs day and night to set the mood. Consider me in, John!
September 1st, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Another great contest, John. I have several of their CDs, and enjoy them a lot. Joesph Vargo was originally with Midnight Syndicate and they went their separate ways. He also did the artwork for DARK REALMS magazine and I had a story published in one of their issues.
September 1st, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Wahoo! You know I gotta plug this contest, buddy! I am excited. I just adore them and it’s the best music in the world to write my horror to. In fact, the Transylvania one I have to use when working on my vampire western I’m writing because once I’ve listened to it while writing, I have to continue the feel and mood while writing it.

Robert,
Thanks so much for entering.
Dex,
I appreciate that, thanks! Hope you’re enjoying those DVDs. You gotta watch the Haunted History of Halloween for me.
Goldie,
LOL… “white on rice.” That reminds me of a similar saying I heard on Two and a Half Men a few days ago. I’m not gonna repeat it though. Being that it came from that program, I’m sure you can understand why. And I’m still laughing about the episode where Allen got stoned from eating the banana bread Melissa’s mom gave him!
You’re all signed up, Goldie.
Doug,
Awesome! Thanks for participating, Doug.
Paul,
Thank you. And thanks for the info about Joseph originally being with Midnight Syndicate. I’ve always enjoyed Midnight Syndicates work, but never knew he was with them prior to Nox. Congrats on your story being published! That’s great! I never got to see Dark Realms, but I heard about it while browsing around Joseph’s Monolith Graphics website.
autumnforest,
Thank you so much for entering and for promoting the giveaway… just make sure Barry doesn’t hear about it [speaking in a whispering voice]!
(just kidding Barry 
) If he wins again, I’m sure his mailman will drive to New Mexico to kick my butt.
Rachel,
That’s very kind and means SO MUCH to me! Thank you, Rachel. You’re all signed up.
Fiend4Halloween,
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for participating. Glad to hear your props are coming along nicely. Have an awesome Halloween!
Joe,
Great to hear from you again! Thanks for taking part in the giveaway.
Ethan,
Absolutely. I’ll keep your number in for the Theater of Illusion portion of the drawing only. Thanks for entering.
Damian,
Cool! You’re all signed up.
Barry,
LOL… where do you get these jokes from? Thanks for entering. Is the mailman still muttering my name under his breath?

First time I’ve been to your site – and love it! You do very cool work. I notice you’re a fan of PumpkinRot. I stumbled across his site a couple of years ago and was blown away. Nox Arcana is perfect Halloween yard haunt music – so thanks for the opportunity to try to win a CD!
Happy Haunting 2010!

Thank you, Camile! I’ve got you signed up.
September 12th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Ooo, ooo, (waving hand wildly like a 6-year-old)!!! I bought Nox Arcana’s Shadow of the Raven last year and spent many hours in my husband’s hospital room listening to it on my iPod. (Yes, I’m mentally deranged, but in my defense, it WAS October! Oh, and yes, he’s fine, thank you.) I seriously need another Nox Arcana fix. Thanks, NA and John, for the giveaway!
September 12th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
I am always looking for good music for my yard haunts, and one of these would be a welcome addition.
September 13th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
