There is currently an undeniable buzz on VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE! within the hard rock scene which was further cemented as the band recently wrapped up a massive, sold-out North American summer tour with Black Veil Brides. The band has a lot on tap for the fall as they complete work on their much anticipated debut full-length album set for an early 2011 release and prepare for some extensive touring plans. This all kicks off with a run as direct support to X Japan this month. The trek kicks off in the band’s hometown of Los Angeles on Sept. 25th, so either see below or head over now to www.myspace.com/vampireseverywhere to view the itinerary.
Michael Vampire (vocals) further comments: ‘Hello everyone. I wanted to tell all our fans and friends how honored we are to be supporting X Japan on their first North American tour. X Japan are icons and for us to be rocking out with them means a lot to us in the VE! camp. We intend on bringing an intense stage show and introduce some new songs into the set. We encourage all our covens and fans to spread the word about this upcoming tour. The tour begins September 25th, so evil ones get amped.

‘I also have just two more vocal sessions until the new album is totally tracked. It’s a great feeling to finish this recording and share my emotions with the world. The great Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones) is working super hard to achieve our collective vision and I think he has done an amazing job. This album has so much diversity ranging from post hardcore to dance and everything in between. We fought hard to stay true to ourselves and put something out that would represent us as a whole. I am positive our fans will not be disappointed. See you on the road.’

“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.”
