Black Math Horseman – Doom Metal Band Returns After 13 Years With Epic 4-Song EP! [Video]
Holy. Shit. Easily one of the most surprising and shocking announcements of the year came out of nowhere last night when metal doom gaze band Black Math Horseman revealed they’ve not only reunited but have an epic 4-song EP on the way this fall.
The band has reunited after 13 years to share the sprawling and quite-simply astounding “The Bough” single and music video with news that the self-titled album arrived on October 21, 2022, from Profound Lord Records. This will be the group’s first release since 2009’s must-hear “Wyllt” (Tee Pee Records).
“Helmed by vocalist/guitarist Sera Beth Timms of the infinitely cool Black Mare and Ides Of Gemini, the return of Black Math Horseman sees its original lineup rounded up by Ian Barry, Bryan Tulao, and Sash Popovic deliver their most engaging material yet with their Self-Titled EP.
“Comprised of four chapters that seam into one, Black Math Horseman sees Timms and co. heightening the tension and atmosphere of their sound, creating something more experimental and ultimately heavier with their comeback release. This EP is just the beginning of what to expect with Black Math Horseman’s resurgence as their follow-up full-length album is currently in the works and will see its imminent release in the impending future.”
Track Listing:
1. Black Math Horseman
2. Boar Domane
3. The Bough

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.”
