Al-Jazeera today announced that renegade shock-rockers GWAR have recently and secretly returned to North America to begin the final preparations for a host of promo events and concert appearances in their continuing two-year long 25th Anniversary. After a lightening-quick four-month break spent in the band’s hulking south-pole fortress (“fighting penguins…” claimed GWAR front-thing ODERUS URUNGUS, “and working on a new album…”), the band reportedly made landfall late Wednesday evening, arriving in their signature bat-shaped helicopter at an undisclosed location.

In order to publicize their pressing agenda (and display the pressing of genitals), the band (GWAR) announced that on Friday, May 28th, at 10:00 p.m. E.S.T. ODERUS URUNGUS will hold an web-based press conference, which can be viewed at gwar.tv, where he is expected to mouth-off about the insignificance of humanity and make a long and complicated set of demands. Viewers will be able to ask Oderus questions through the chat room, and he might even answer some of them. You can also check out the press conference streaming at MetalBlade.tv!

After this debacle, “little trolls” will whisk Oderus away to the nearest real TV station, where the so-called “Interplanetary Correspondent” will be pumped into FOXNews late-night gab-fest, “Red Eye”, hosted by Greg “Gut” feld, for the 11th kneecap-splitting appearance! So be sure to catch Oderus on the web at 10 and on Red Eye that same night at 3:00 am, e.s.t.!

In other GWAR news, GWAR is set to hit the road for the second leg of their “Lust in Space” tour, including stops at the Skatopia and Bonnaroo festivals. Bonarroo will also have a special GWAR autograph session at the official signing location, where loyal fans can get their favorite GWAR stuff signed, or even have their names carved into their foreheads.

“It’s a little thing we intend to do to, I mean for, our fans…” explained GWAR guitarist Balsac, the Jaws of Death, “So when they take all those drugs at Bonnaroo they won’t forget who they are.”

After that there is no let up as GWAR devastates Europe not once but twice this summer, including gigs at the Bloodstock and With Full Force festivals. Then, with rumors of a new album dropping this fall, GWAR shall finish up 2010 with a completely new 25th Anniversary show, this fall in America! The beatings will continue until morale improves, as the hardest working band in show-biz continues to also be the HARDEST ROCKING!!!!! Hail GWAR!

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

Published

April 9, 2024

John Squires

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.”
