Someone Send Me To Helsinki For Flashback Future
Does anyone by chance happen to have a gargantuan amount of frequent flyer miles that they’re not using that they’d be willing to give me?
If you’re in Helsinki, Finland at the end of this month, I’m going to go ahead and say that you should block out the night of Saturday, August 29th on your calendar. The reason, you ask? Well, it’s all about Flashback Future, a concert that features live performances from Perturbator, GosT, and Dan Terminus, which basically means it’s a night of pure retrosynth bliss and I’d lose my damn mind were I there. Hell, even John Carpenter himself is behind this event, as demonstrated by the teaser he recorded for it below.

After appearing in Rob Zombie’s music videos and movies over the years, Sheri Moon Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) has now released her own debut single and music video, I Love My Robot. The video, which you can watch below, was directed by husband Rob Zombie.
The track playfully takes a jab at the use of Generative AI in the arts.
The official press release details, “Helmed by acclaimed producer Zeuss and accompanied by a video directed by Rob Zombie, the track blends retro sci-fi, playful camp, and infectious hooks into an irresistibly offbeat anthem that is unmistakably Sheri.
“Tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly timely, I Love My Robot offers a witty take on life in an increasingly algorithm-driven world. Beneath its infectious energy and B-movie charm, the song celebrates imagination, individuality, and the simple joy of thinking for yourself.
“It’s a playful reminder that while technology may make life easier, nothing can replace genuine creativity or human connection.”
A limited edition picture disc vinyl featuring “I Love My Robot” on Side A and Rob Zombie’s “Sir Lord Acid Wolfman” on Side B is now available for pre-order. Only 600 copies are being released worldwide, and it’ll be available on October 30, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Pre-order your copy now and listen to I Love My Robot on all your favorite platforms.
