Chris Vrenna Brings Tweaker Out Of Hibernation
Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) has announced the return of Tweaker! It’s been eight years since 2 a.m. Wake Up Call and now he’s back with Call The Time Eternity, which will come out Oct. 23rd via Metropolis Records. The album will feature a guest appearance from Collide‘s kaRIN.
Vrenna describes, “Every tweaker record is a mix of instrumental music and vocal songs. During the writing and recording process, tracks will naturally evolve into one or the other.”
Vrenna explains his decision to record a cover of Phil Collins‘ “I Don’t Care Anymore” for the album, “I do love Phil’s drumming! He really broke new ground both in the grooves he created, but also in the way his drums were recorded and sounded. I especially loved the darkness and sadness he explored lyrically in his solo records. While working on tweaker, ‘I Don’t Care Anymore’ began haunting me. For a few weeks every time I got in the car, it came on the radio. It happened so many times that I took it as a sign.”

Tweaker is Grammy-winning songwriter, composer, drummer, programmer, engineer, remixer and producer Chris Vrenna and Jesse Hall (programming, guitars).

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
