Daath Prepping For Worldwide Touring In Nov. And Dec.

One of my favorite metal bands of the past few years is Daath. I spun ‘The Concealers’ more times than I can count throughout late last year and the beginning of this year. Their track, ‘Wilting On The Vine’ still gets my blood boiling every time I hear it. So that’s why I’m excited to see that they are up to some really big plans for the rest of the year, including a new, self-titled album coming out on Oct. 25th.

Next, Daath will be touring the US with Chimaira and Impending Doom, all before heading over to Europe for a tour there with Fear Factory and High On Fire. You can check out the tour dates for those shows after the jump as well as comments from Eyal Levi.

Levi states: “Last time we toured with Chimaira was the fall of 2009 in Europe. That tour was downright destructive. The only bummer was that we wished we could have toured together with Chimaira on American soil. Well here it is! The first tour supporting our upcoming album will be in North America with Chimaira and Impending Doom this November. All I can say past that is those of you who make it out will get to experience DAATH in a whole new way.

“This past summer we kept getting asked why we stayed in Europe for such a short time during the festival season. Our only answer was, ‘we’ll be back soon.’ Well, we’re very excited to announce that we are returning to Europe for our second time in 2010 with the legendary Fear Factory and the hypnotic High On Fire. The excitement to bring our European fans some new DAATH as part of such an incredible tour package is almost overwhelming. Europe, we will see you in December!”

Levi further comments: “Our third album is the most unrestrained and over the top collection of songs we’ve ever captured. We went in with the intent of creating a freak show of a record and we achieved it. People looking for a wrecking ball of an album will be happy. People looking for an album they’ll still hear new things in one year down the road will be happy. People going in with any preconceived notions of who we are and what we sound like are in for a surprise.”

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

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.”
