Jyrki 69, lead vocalist for goth metal band, The 69 Eyes, is set to release his first-ever solo album on Cleopatra Records this June 23. The 69 Eyes have sold millions of albums over the course of a dozen albums, and Jyrki 69’s solo album titled Helsinki Vampire builds on the distinctive “goth n’ roll” style that fans have come to expect from the band. You’ll find a few songs from the album in upcoming horror films such as Sunset Society (starring Lemmy from Motörhead), and Halloween Hell House (starring 21 Jump Street’s Richard Grieco and the voice of Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine). In the meantime, we’re happy to premiere the first single “Last Halloween.”

“There’s never enough anthem’s for Halloween and Halloween is every weekend you go to a Gothic club! So here’s something for the clubs’ dancefloors and so sing-a-long while getting killed by your favorite Halloween movie monster. Oh, that October 15 that I mention in the song? That’s my birthday! So guess my favorite month and season, haha…” – Jyrki 69

“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.”
