Confrontational “Shadowdancing” Song Premiere (Exclusive)
We’ve teamed up with dark retrowave artist Confrontational to exclusive premiere “Shadowdancing”, the opening track on the upcoming album A Dance Of Shadows, which comes out October 1st.
The song is a total throwback to the electronic-inspired scores of the 70’s. It pulsates and crackles with infectious energy, creating the perfect backdrop to a giallo slasher nightmare that stains the walls with bright red blood. Make sure to give it a listen below!
A Dance Of Shadows can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.
Confrontational mainman Massimo Usai explains the track and album:
The new LP has been conceived, compiled and thought of as, quite literally, a motion picture. A noir reflection on the dynamics of life – day after night, darkness and light – as a never ending sequence of events in which, much like dancing shadows, we’re all immersed.
The opening track, “Shadowdancing”, was also the track at the very beginning of the writing process and informed the subsequent direction. It’s a fitting introduction to a collection of songs that further explore the reasoning behind my first EP, Done With You, picking up exactly where it left off and setting the mood for the rest of the story I’m telling.
During the recordings I’ve been heavily influenced by the works of George Romero, William Friedkin, Michael Mann and – obviously – John Carpenter, so this time around I’ve decided to confront my passion for cinema and let it dictate the pacing of these compositions.
I feel especially blessed for the amazing collaborations that took place – Cody Carpenter’s dream-like lead synth on “To Live And Die On The Air”, Monte Pittman’s soaring lead guitars on “Like A Curse”, and a track on the album that features Darren Travis (vocalist / guitarist of the seminal thrash metal band SADUS) – and I’m looking forward to sharing the new material with everyone.

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977
The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”
David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.
IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.
Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…
David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.
The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.
“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”
Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.
Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
