Info zu Syndicate (Deluxe)

The Midnight return to the world of their 2025 album Syndicate with a cinematic new installment, Syndicate (Deluxe) out Friday, May 15 via Ultra Records. The new edition expands the band’s fifth studio album, layering in club-ready remixes, cinematic collaborations, and stripped-back demos that reveal the bones beneath the neon.

Leading the rollout is “Love Is an Ocean (Chromeo Remix),” an uptempo rework that trades in the original’s slow-burn emotion for a more electrifying cadence. Chromeo injects their signature funk into the track, tailoring it for the dancefloor without losing the ache at its core.

“Syndicate was obviously a big record, but there were even more songs than what we originally included. Our fans have always loved diving even deeper, and we’re happy to be able to include these demos of tracks that aren’t on the original album.” — The Midnight

Built on the “apocalypse pop” storyline that defines Syndicate, the deluxe edition revisits The Midnight’s the album with additional perspective. The release pairs the full original record with a second disc that includes “Love Is an Ocean (Chromeo Remix),” alongside “Runaways (Driver405 Remix)” and the darker, more cinematic “Last Night in Paris (feat. Carpenter Brut).” A series of demos — “Infinite,” “Against The Dark,” and “’Til The Stars Come Out” — round out the project with a more stripped-back look at the songwriting behind the band’s signature blend of pulsing synth pop.

The Midnight are currently on their Time Machines headline tour, a North American run supporting Syndicate that brings their cinematic live show to theaters and clubs across the U.S. and Canada. With direct support from rising indie-pop duo New Constellations, the shows translate the band’s synth-driven sound into a full-scale live experience, known for its widescreen production, live instrumentation, and immersive atmosphere.

For almost three decades, composers Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka have been known as Midnight Syndicate, creating symphonic soundtracks to imaginary films that facilitate a transcendental and adventurous escape into the secret dimensions of the mind’s eye. To many of their fans, they are horror music pioneers with their genre-defying signature blend of gothic instrumental music and immersive sound effects. To others, they remain the haunt music icons that forever changed the haunted attractions and Halloween music industries while becoming a staple of the October holiday season. Still others, know them as the for their collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons and contributions to the use of music in the roleplaying games and development of the RPG music genre.

For almost three decades, composers Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka have been known as Midnight Syndicate, creating symphonic soundtracks to imaginary films that facilitate a transcendental and adventurous escape into the secret dimensions of the mind’s eye. To many of their fans, they are Gothic music pioneers brewing a signature blend of orchestral horror music and movie-style sound effects. To others, they remain the first “haunted house band” that forever changed the Halloween music genre and became a staple of the October holiday season. And some know them as the duo that teamed up with Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to produce the first official soundtrack to the legendary Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Their critically-acclaimed works are reminiscent of sweeping, complex masterpieces by artists such as James Horner, Danny Elfman, Black Sabbath and King Diamond and have been featured as a part of films, television shows, video games and at haunted attractions, amusement parks, and live performances worldwide.

Midnight Syndicate’s music has become integral to setting a powerful mood at top-rated haunted attractions and amusement parks as well as at costume shops, gaming and Halloween parties and Halloween-themed cruises from Siberia and Hong Kong, to Europe and the United States. The duo has released 15 studio albums since 1997, and Douglas and Goszka’s original, work also been used at Hugh Hefner’s Halloween parties, on episodes of The Barbara Walters Special and in the drive-in film The Rage, Universal Studio’s Horror Nights XVIII as well as by Monday Night Football and by artists Insane Clown Posse, Three Six Mafia, Twiztid and The Misfits. In 2010, Midnight Syndicate released a full-length horror film called The Dead Matter, directed, scored and co-produced by Douglas alongside Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Till Dawn, co-founder, KNB FX) and Gary Jones (Xena, Boogeyman 3).

Midnight Syndicate continues to pursue its quest to use instrumental music to tell explicit stories full of tension, twists and turns. Most recently, the band completed the score to the grindhouse thriller Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan. In summer, 2013, Midnight Syndicate will release the soundtrack to that film along with Monsters of Legend, a tribute to the classic Universal, Hammer and Euro horror films that gave birth to horror cinema, which will include officially-licensed images from the Universal Studios vaults.
