Rob Zombie Teases ‘Electric Warlock’
Shock rocker/director Rob Zombie has released a short video that teases something called Electric Warlock, which seems like it’s a new album! In the video, new music is heard with Rob Zombie chanting over and over again, “Electric Warlock! Electric Warlock! Electric Warlock Acid Witch!” You can see the video for yourself below!
Zombie has been talking about a new album for a while now, although he did tell Louder Noise (via Blabbermouth) that it was delayed until March because he had a grand vision that included, “…I wanna do a very large visual component to go with the record — shoot thirteen videos, or shoot a movie go with it.”
Zombie’s last album was 2013’s Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor.
Additionally, Zombie has been working hard on 31, his latest horror film. In the movie, “Five friends are kidnapped on the day before Halloween and are held hostage in a terrifying place named Murder World. While trapped, they must play a violent game called 31, in which the mission is to survive 12 hours against a gang of evil clowns.”
Whatever Electric Warlock is, it’s coming January 11th, 2016.

John Carpenter Releases New Single “The Ferryman” From Upcoming Audio/Visual Project ‘Cathedral’
Horror master John Carpenter and bandmates Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies have released “The Ferryman“, the second single from Carpenter’s upcoming audiovisual project Cathedral.
The graphic novel arrives on August 4 through Storm King Comics, with the companion album following on August 7 via Sacred Bones Records.
In other words, every track on the companion album corresponds to a chapter in the book, with liner notes guiding listeners through the story as they read.
The 120-page graphic novel is written by Carpenter, editor/producer/wife Sandy King, and Sean Sobczak, illustrated by Federico De Luca and Luis Guaragna, colored by Ryan Winn, and lettered by Marshall Dillon.
“I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way,” guitarist Daniel Davies said in a statement about the new single. “It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.“
“The Ferryman” follows the previously released “Lord of the Underground“.
The synopsis for Cathedral: “An abandoned cathedral. A gruesome murder. A powerful supernatural entity living in the catacombs. It all comes to a head in downtown Los Angeles. What will happen and who will live to tell the tale? Such is the storyline of Cathedral, the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from legendary director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream he had in 2024.“
“It was so cinematic and vivid,” the director said. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”
Get ready to immerse yourself in John Carpenter’s universe all over again.
