Terrordyne Delivers 16 Tracks of Dark Synthwave With ‘High Tech Low Living’
If you’re a fan of dark synthwave you might have already heard of Terrordyne, if not it is my pleasure to introduce you to the Southern California based darksynth/cyberpunk artist. His latest release titled ‘High Tech Low Living’ clearly draws inspiration from classic horror and sci-fi films, and then combines that with a modern edge that is uniquely his own. So much dark synth music now is just about being loud, fast and distorted, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear airy and subtle arrangements that set the stage to tell a story.
In 2084 the “World Law Act” was passed. Rapid advancement in technology and the requirement to install the neurolink upon human birth changed humanity. The sectors were divided. Those that had…prospered. Those that didn’t…just tried to survive.
You can preorder the 16 track album now and get access to 4 tracks early on bandcamp. Look for it on streaming services and other platforms when it releases on May 13th.

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.”
