HEALTH Release Gory Music Video for “Sicko” Featuring Godflesh!
It’s Friday the 13th and HEALTH has just dropped a sickly 90s-inspired music video for “SICKO”, featuring samples from Godflesh’s “Like Rats”.
Directed by Mynxii White, the video looks like a VHS compilation of horrors captured across several 90s horror movies.
“SICKO” comes off HEALTH’s forthcoming new album RAT WARS, which will be released December 7th, 2023, via Loma Vista Recordings.
“Taking inspiration from the haunting imagery from 90’s music videos by Godflesh, we put together a video collage of some of our own favorite obscure horror moments of the same time period in one “sick” video for ‘Sicko.’ ” said White.
“Some of my best memories are from the stranger indie movies I’d watch in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping, and it was a lot of fun going back in time to pull moments like a ‘greatest hits’ of all those dark hours of bloody horror.”
“Produced by Stint (Oliver Tree, Demi Lovato) and mixed by Lars Stalfors (SALEM, The Neighbourhood), the 12-track LP joins the lineage of groundbreaking heavy acts like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, which re-drew the borders between metal, electronic and pop music. It also speaks directly to the band’s young, fervent online subculture.
It’s The Downward Spiral for people with at least two monitors and a vitamin D deficiency.”
“CHILDREN OF SORROW” + “SICKO” visual/tracks are live here.
RAT WARS is available for pre-order on limited edition vinyl, cassette, and more here.
The trio of Jake Duzsik (vocals/guitar), John Famiglietti (bass/producer), and BJ Miller (drums) will also announce a 2024 headlining U.S. tour beginning March 2nd in Ventura, CA and including shows at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel on March 15th and LA’s Belasco Theater on April 4th. Pixel Grip and King Yosef support on all dates; tickets are on-sale now HERE.
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.”
