Metalcore band Woe, Is Me have announced the departure of clean vocalist Tyler Carter. After the jump you can read a message from the band as well as read about how to audition for the now vacant role.

“For those who have not yet heard: Woe is me and Tyler Carter have parted ways.

It comes without saying that constantly touring is tough emotionally and physically… All I can say is it’s sad to see a friend go and we wish him the best of luck.

Our bands message has always been to follow your dreams, no matter what.. So make no mistake: we will continue to follow ours, while Tyler follows his. Whether they lead us to the studio, in a bus touring the US, or cramped in a tiny van touring Europe.

This issue is a small bump in the road of this bands career in music. Nothing is going to stop us. We’ve all been pushing ourselves to our full capabilities on this new music (that we’re recording as I type this). Stay tuned for the announcement of a new US tour, studio updates, and much more!

Signed artists and unsigned talents feel free to send auditions here: wimvocals@gmail.com.”

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
