Midnight Syndicate - "Plankett's Grove"

Hidden away in a remote mountain valley, the secluded village of Illswich was born from the ambition of its fortune-seeking founder. While outsiders might view it as nothing more than the dying remnants of a bygone age, those who call it home guard its secrets with unshakeable resolve. This CD features 53 minutes of immersive gothic folk horror and dark fantasy music and soundscapes with artwork by Pascal Casolari.

Plankett's Grove, the latest album from Midnight Syndicate, is out today! Another release full of their signature instrumental Gothic horror and Halloween sounds, it's perfectly timed for the lead up to All Hallow's Eve.

Things are beginning to get spooky and the air is turning crisp. We are getting closer! Enjoy.

HAVOK & Hellripper Announce Fall U.S. Tour

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! Hellripper is FINALLY coming to America!! I have waited about 10 years for the Scottish speed metal band to finally make it to the good ol' U.S.A. for a chance to see them live.

A totally stacked Fall 2026 U.S. Tour has just been announced with HAVOK, Hellripper, Slackjaw and XOTH. I will be at the front of the line when tickets go on sale this Friday and I hope to see some of you in the pit in Cleveland on November 15th. I'm super stoked to catch both Hellripper and HAVOK! A perfect cure for the annual post-Halloween blues...

ALL HAIL THE GOAT!!!

  

Lustmord Lombardo - "Paleomagnetic Resonance"

The first single from the collaboration of Lustmord & Dave Lombardo is out now. Lustmord, the pioneer of modern ambient electronic music, and Dave Lombardo, one of heavy music’s most influential percussionists, have joined forces as Lustmord Lombardo.

The debut album, The Pulse Of Atoms, is out October 2nd on Ipecac Recordings. Another must-have for me. Enjoy!

  

Cleveland Haunt Club Haunted Garage Sale & Hearse Cruise-In

It's that time of the year again! If anyone even remotely close to the Northeast Ohio area is looking for something to do tomorrow (Saturday, August 1st), they need to get to the annual Cleveland Haunt Club Haunted Garage Sale & Hearse Cruise-In!

Now in its 11th year and at a new/larger location, the Haunted Garage Sale & Hearse Cruise-In should be pretty incredible. Over 140 vendor booths (with some big names!) this time around, so even the pickiest of Halloween shoppers should be able to find SOMETHING. 

Peruse endless rows of vendors, check out the hearses, and get ready for Halloween with a slew of likeminded fanatics. Sounds like a plan...

  

Midnight Pumpkins

Better Halloweening Through Science!

Has anyone else seen these? I received this well-targeted Facebook ad and immediately had to check it out. Salinas Nursery Garden Plants offers a variety (a cornucopia, if you will?) of colored and textured pumpkins, but none as cool as this Midnight Pumpkin. No paint, just a jet black pumpkin grown straight from the vine!

A little small for use as a jack-o-lantern, but would still make an incredible accent in any Halloween display. Get one now, because they ship as seedlings and will need 70 days to grow!

  

100 Days...

100 days until Halloween...
