Wisconsin’s champions of thrash, Lazarus A.D., are unleashing their new video for the track ‘Absolute Power’ off the critically acclaimed debut album, The Onslaught, this Monday when the band hosts Headbangers Ball*. The video, like their other two, was directed by Jason Meudt and Emmet Austin of Vision 4 Films and features a brutal underground street fight; if you’re a fan of metal and/or the movie Kickboxer, you’ll dig this video!

The band comments: “Hey make sure to check out HBB this Monday, when the Laz will host and undoubtedly make fools of ourselves (I believe beverages were consumed).

Also just a quick update, we enter the studio in three weeks, we have been hard at work writing, things are sounding absolutely crushing, and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Check back soon for upcoming studio updates.”

*NOTE: HEADBANGERS BALL IS NOW ON MONDAY NIGHTS AT 3AM ET/PT.

Fans can watch the new video for Absolute Power as well as the “making of” segments parts 1 and 2 on the band’s YouTube channel.

In other news; LAZARUS A.D. have confirmed a spot on the massive rock festival held every year in Milwaukee, Summerfest, as well as a spot on the Cool Tour when it rolls through the guys’ home state in late July. If you are in the area be sure to catch LAZARUS A.D. live as the band will be off the road for a bit while recording the follow up to last year’s The Onslaught.

Upcoming Dates:

June 27th – Summerfest – Milwaukee, WI – w/ Nonpoint, A New Revolution

July 24th – Cool Tour w/ As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between the Buried and Me, Cancer Bats, Acacia Strain and more! – Milwaukee, WI – The Eagles Ballroom

Lazarus A.D. is finally winding down touring to promote their debut album, The Onslaught. They’ve been touring on that album now for over 3 years. During that time, they’ve gone from being an independent local band to becoming one of the premiere heavy metal acts in North America, having played Loud Park in Japan, and joining forces on tour with the likes of Testament, Unearth, Kreator, Bison b.c., Voivod, Goatwhore, Amon Amarth and many more.

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

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.”
