Cattle Decapitation Finalize New Album
Extreme metal band Cattle Decapitation have announced via Facebook that they have completed mixing and mastering their new album, which is the follow up to 2012’s Monolith Of Inhumanity. The band went on to state that although the album is finished, it will not see a release date for at least five more months due to, “…the vinyl industry blowing up.”
The band wrote:
We are finally done mixing and mastering our NEW ALBUM! Because of the vinyl industry blowing up, our album won’t be out for about another 5 months and will be released mid-summer! In a few months we will announce the album title, tracklist, pre-orders and the cover artwork by Wes Benscoter, which in our opinions, is our best album cover yet! Its gonna be agonizing for us to wait this long as we are very stoked on how this came out and are anxious to show you all this beast of a follow-up to 2012’s Monolith of Inhumanity!
Sorry for the wait but trust that we will be spending this time creating killer merch, pre-order bundles, a new set with songs you haven’t heard in a long while and plotting our world tour!
We’ve long been supporters of the band on BD and many of us are big fans of the group. I can’t wait to hear and see what the guys have in store for us this year!
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.”
