In This Moment (interview here) have been announced as one of the acts on the upcoming ‘Music As A Weapon’ tour, which is going to be headlined by Korn and Disturbed (interview here). In the week leading up to the festival, the band will be playing a few headlining shows with support coming from local acts. Tour dates for these headlining shows are after the jump.

Guitarist Chris Howorth comments: “When we received the news that we were a part of the music as a weapon tour we were overwhelmed with emotion, Maria and I were literally moved to tears. Our band has been constantly clawing our way up the ladder in this business and its very hard to get on a big tour like this, getting this news is like getting the best Christmas present we could hope for. We are truly blessed and extremely excited for this huge opportunity! We have been fans of Disturbed since their first record and have always wanted to tour with them. We adore Korn (our Mayhem Festival buddies) and Sevendust are some of the coolest guys we’ve met during our travels! This is going to be an amazing kick off to our 2011 tour cycle! Eternal thanks to Monster and Disturbed for allowing us to be a part of such an epic event.”

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

John Squires

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.”
