Society 1 has recently returned to the music scene after a five year hiatus with a new album entitled, ‘The Lonely God‘. The songs will be released individually via digital channels with an accompanying music video every six to eight weeks. Follow their Facebook for up-to-date information about these releases.

1. Dawn Of The Dead (Original)
The first time I saw this my Mother shut it off after the first five minutes and told me it was to intense for me to watch. At the time she was right. I dreamed of the day I could actually watch the entire film and when I finally could it didn’t disappoint! One of the most intelligent and entertaining horror movies of all time. I bring it on tour with me and show anyone who has never seen it. 
2. Angel Heart
This is the most Satanic horror movies of all time. This movie is pure evil. Alan Parker at his peak. Robert Deniro as Louis Cypher? Come on it doesn’t get any better. I loved this movie so much I sampled sound clips and inserted them through out my live show for years. The greatest line ever…”The gods got you pregnant? I’m sorry.” Lisa Bonnet answers, “I’m not, it was the best fuck I ever had.” Then she has sex in blood with her father. Are you kidding me? 
 
3. Day Of The Dead (Original)
This is one of the movies that really makes you feel what it would be like after a few years of a Zombie Apocalypse. It is so underrated  as far as a Zombie flick. Perhaps it had to much social commentary or focus on human interaction but all that goes to hell in the end anyway leading up to the classic shot of the army guy getting his head pulled off and screaming higher  and higher in pitch as his vocals chords are stretched. 
4. Exorcist (Original extended version)
Will this movie ever be topped in terms of an exorcism movie? A pre pubescent girl stabbing herself in the crotch with a crucifix while screaming fuck jesus. If that wasn’t enough she forces her mothers head between her legs and tells her to “lick bitch”. Enough said.
5. Reanimator
I love the end when the doctor has his head cut off and all he can think to do is abduct his colleagues daughter, tie her down and then lift up his decapitated head and attempt oral sex on her. Yeah I believe that’s what most of us would do.
6. Evil Dead 2
Their are just to many great things about this movie to mention. Ever notice the shape of the necklace when it is dropped on the floor? Bruce Campbell is the man. 
7. Rosemary’s Baby
Just a classic. I like it when Satan rapes girls. You know they wanted it. (Take it easy people. I’m joking around)
8. Jacob’s Ladder
The party scene where the girls is dancing and then it turns heavy is really hot. You get into it then that horn pierces through her mouth from the inside. How big was it? Think about it. If it was going in one end and coming out the other….
9. In The Mouth Of Madness 
I just love how this movie unfolds into the end of the world. Starts as a simple insurance case and ends with chaos. I really enjoy the journey.
10. The Return Of The Living Dead
My bass player Dirt pointed out to me that Zombies ran in this movie about 20 years before 28 Days Later. It was ahead of its time.

‘Lost Themes IV: Noir’ – John Carpenter Announces New Album & Releases New Music Video!

John Carpenter has been teasing big news for a couple weeks now and all has been revealed this morning. Carpenter is back with Lost Themes IV: Noir from 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.

John Carpenter called the first Lost Themes album “a soundtrack for the movies in your mind.”

From John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, Lost Themes IV: Noir is set for release on May 3 via Sacred Bones Records. The album pays tribute to Noir cinema!

In conjunction with the announcement, they’ve shared a music video for the album’s first single, “My Name Is Death”, a miniature noir film directed by Ambar Navarro, starring Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood), Staz Lindes (The Paranoyds) and Misha Lindes (SadGirl). “Noir is a uniquely American genre born in post-war cinema,” states Carpenter. “ We grew up loving Noir and were influenced by it for this new album. The video celebrates this style and our new song, My Name is Death.”

Sacred Bones previews, “The scene-setting new single marks new territory for Carpenter and his cohorts, propelled by a driving post-punk bassline that is embellished by washes of atmospheric synth, pulsing drum machine, and, at the song’s climax, a smoldering guitar solo.”

“Sandy [King, John’s wife and producer] had given John a book for Christmas, of pictures from noir films, all stills from that era,” Davies says of the lightbulb moment for Lost Themes IV. “I was looking through it, and I thought, ‘I like that imagery, and what those titles make me think of. What if we loosely based it around that? What if the titles were of some of John’s favorite noir films?’ Some of the music is heavy guitar riffs, which is not in old noir films. But somehow, it’s connected in an emotional way.”

Sacred Bones notes, “Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes the songs on Lost Themes IV ‘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 noir quality, then, is something you understand instinctively when you hear it.”

“It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that became the initial Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts,” the label explains. “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. In the years since, Carpenter, Carpenter, and Davies have released close to a dozen musical projects, including a growing library of studio albums and the scores for David Gordon Green’s trilogy of Halloween reboots. It helped that they grew up in a musical environment. Daniel’s dad is The Kinks’ Dave Davies, and he would pop by the L.A. studio – the same one the Lost Themes records are made in today – to jam, or to perform at wrap parties for John’s films. That innate free-flowing chemistry helps Lost Themes IV: Noir run 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.”
