Revolver Magazine Joins Forces With Rob Zombie for Limited Edition Magazine and LP Bundle Release
The latest issue of Revolver Magazine features Rob Zombie on the cover and an interview with the musician/filmmaker on the inside, and a special edition offering has just been put up for grabs this week. Limited to just 333 copies, the bundle includes an exclusive variant for the aforementioned Zombie issue of Revolver, along with an exclusive LP release.
The magazine explains, “To celebrate Rob Zombie on the Winter 2020 cover, Revolver has created a special limited-edition slipcase. These hand-numbered slipcases include the newsstand/subscriber issue and an alternate cover only available in this product. All cover photography was done by the talented Justin Borucki.”
“In addition, this bundle includes an exclusive Revolver 7” vinyl variant of “The Triumph of King Freak (A Crypt of Preservation and Superstition)” on white.”
The bundle even includes a 1-year subscription to Revolver, starting next month.
You can pre-order the Revolver x Zombie bundle ($50) now, while supplies last.
Zombie’s seventh studio album was recently given a title and a date, with The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy set for release on March 12th via Nuclear Blast.
King Freak is the first single from that album, Zombie’s first in five years.
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.”
