Scottish death metal band (how often do I get to write that?) Cerebral Bore have released a video for ‘Maniacal Miscreation‘, the title track off their latest album. Check after the jump for a comment from frontwoman Simone “Som” Pluijmer as well as the video. Funny story: When I watched the video, all I could think about was Egg Shen from Big Trouble In Little China saying, ‘Black blood of the Earth!’.

Simone “Som” Pluijmers:

“Shooting the video for ‘Maniacal Miscreation’ was great but very cold; you can see the blood pulling out of our white, freezing faces. Compared to the video for ‘The Bald Cadaver’, we were done within no time, as we all knew what to do and what to expect.

“For the ones who have seen our new music video, you can already see what it is about. Basically to put it between short lines, it’s about a ‘tar man’ who is the maniacal miscreation. Also, you might have noticed there are again photos in the video as we did in ‘The Bald Cadaver’ – we try not to have too serious videos, so a laugh is needed on its time! This time we put down a contest on Facebook: ‘Get your grandparents in our new music video’. The people you see on the photos are: Susan Boyle (we, again, needed something Scottish in it for a laugh), Putrid Pile (Shaun)’s grandpa, and two others I can’t remember the names of.

“It was a good laugh and you might see ‘making of’ footage of the video soon or on an upcoming DVD somewhere in the future! We hope you all enjoy our video.”

“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.”
