Swedish Punks, The Dahmers, Premiere New Video for ‘To the Night’
The Dahmers, the Swedish punk band known for blending garage punk with energetic rock and 60’s pop, have released a brand new video for their song To the Night. The song is taken from the band’s latest release, In the Dead of Night, which was released back in April via Lovely Records on CD, vinyl and digital.
The Dahmers have a horror aesthetic that features quite prominently in their music and all around style. That horror vibe is very present in this new video in a multitude of ways, one of which includes Nosferatu working as a bartender, a job I think we can all agree he would be excel at.
As dusk settles in and night time approaches, The Dahmers rise from their coffins once more. Like bloodthirsty creatures of rock n roll, they will burst out into the moonlight leaving solitude behind on a rampage for terror. These thirteen nerve breaking songs are dedicated to the darkest of hours. A mutation of garage punk, energetic rock, and ’60s pop makes “In The Dead Of Night” a Frankenstein’s monster of music.
The Dahmers (who are currently based in Kristianstad, Sweden) released their debut album “Demon” on Farsot Records in 2014. The album quickly sold out and got an international release through Lövely records in 2015. The band released their “Terror On Wheels” EP in 2015 and “Blood On My Hands” EP in 2016. “Blood On My Hands” got elected on of the top 50 songs 2016 by Swedish National Radio as one of few rock n roll songs on the list. The band´s new album “In The Dead Of Night” was recorded in Studio Underjord by Joona Hassinen. Mixed by Linus Linkan’ Björnlund and mastered by Magnus Lindberg. Artwork by Branca Studios.
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.”
