专辑介绍
Phantoms of the High Seas is the tenth album by gothic duo Nox Arcana. The theme of the album is pirate lore and stories of ghost ships. Instrumentation includes deep bass horns, pounding drums, string instruments, and narration by Joseph Vargo telling the tale of a doomed pirate vessel called The Tempest. The instrumentals are accompanied by sound effects that include a howling wind and the snap of sails, the sound of creaking as of a wooden boat left derelict at sea, an eerie yet alluring chorus like that of a siren calling sailors to their doom, male voices of the ship's crew as they call out to the beat of a dirge while rowing, and thunderous sounds of cannon fire.
In the spirit of Nox Arcana's ongoing quest to incorporate puzzles into their cd packaging, the album artwork contains a treasure map and several ciphers.
From the liner notes: &Hearken ye pirates and black-hearted sea dogs... Nox Arcana beckons ye to set sail upon the haunted seas where ghost ships prowl the misty dead of night and ancient treasure lies buried far below the endless waves. This epic soundscape explores the mysteries of the deep with dynamic orchestrations, ghostly melodies, pirate anthems and gothic choirs. Set a course for high adventure!&
The release date for this album coincides with Columbus Day.

- @浮生若梦(且行且珍惜。。。)：最初听“Skull and Crossbones”时，才知道邪恶原来也可以很美。音乐的魔力！ 致“公海幻影”
- @pyre119(DeathContinu)：原盘已收！
- @燃音Chelsea(酒神电钻 | 前xx音乐...)：航海史诗。深深戳中从小喜欢海洋有航海情结的我。 海盗，暴风雨，迷雾，幻境，幽灵船，美人鱼塞矢的歌，女巫之港。 瞬间回到加勒比海。精彩绝伦，大气磅礴又不失细腻，妖冶之美。
- @BruNoize(食色性也 )：！
- @我不是QiQi(我还没想好要写什么...)：Nox Arcana
- @✟E☆clipse✟：想收藏单曲却发现完全舍不得拆 于是直接整张专辑了 根本就没办法拆开的。故事倒是蛮完整。
- @✟E☆clipse✟：航海史诗…遭遇海盗 遭遇暴风 遭遇幽灵船 还真是应有尽有 蛮宏壮的……
- @✟E☆clipse✟：声线很美好， 序曲开始便很宏壮的感觉。 想起的另一首曲子就是Darklore Manor里的Phantom procession. 很有一种Brigade consist of ghost的感觉。还真是威严。
- @恆(我还没想好要写什么...)：suck
