America’s premiere, genre-defying metal band, SUICIDE SILENCE, will soon strike fear into the hearts of today’s impressionable youth as they take part in this summer’s highly anticipated Warped Tour. The group are excited to be one of the tour’s most extreme acts and to have the opportunity to annihilate thousands of new faces each day. They will join a very diverse, impressive list of artists ranging from Andrew W.K. and Sum 41 to Every Time I Die to The Dillinger Escape Plan, among many others. Be sure to either visit www.warpedtour.com or www.myspace.com/suicidesilence to view their complete touring itinerary. 

SUICIDE SILENCE will spend the next few weeks holed up together writing new material before embarking on a massive world tour this spring, which will see them hit territories such as Japan, East Asia and South America for the very first time. 
Mitch Lucker (vocals) further states: “Everyone in the SUICIDE SILENCE camp are so stoked for this summer’s Warped Tour. Summer festivals are the best since it’s all about jammin’ in the sunshine, BBQs and parties. It’s going to be a madhouse on wheels, so get ready.  This year’s lineup is definitely one of the craziest and heaviest, so we are honored to be a part of it. SUICIDE SILENCE is always full of surprises, so come out and see what we get into this summer. I promise we won’t let you down!”
 
There is little doubt in anyone’s minds that SUICIDE SILENCE are the frontrunners of the scene as they became one of the most extreme bands to ever debut in the Billboard Top 200 charts at such a high number, entering at #32 with over 14,000 units sold.

John Carpenter’s New Album ‘Lost Themes IV: Noir’ NOW AVAILABLE!

John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter are back with Lost Themes IV: Noir, a brand new album from Sacred Bones Records that was released today, May 3.

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.

The new ten song collection was loosely inspired by the noir genre and marks new territory for John Carpenter and his cohorts, imbibing their trademark synth hooks and pulsing drum machine with propulsive post punk basslines and smoldering guitar solos.

Here’s the full Lost Themes IV: Noir track list:

  1. My Name is Death (video below)
  2. Machine Fear
  3. Last Rites
  4.  The Burning Door
  5. He Walks By Night (video below)
  6. Beyond The Gallows
  7. Kiss The Blood Off My Fingers
  8. Guillotine
  9. The Demon’s Shadow
  10. Shadows Have A Thousand Eyes

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.”
