John Carpenter - "The Dead Walk"

I'm patiently waiting for this one to release on February 5 on Sacred Bones Records. Man, that seems far away... 

More wonderful work from the synth master himself!

Daniel Davies - "Shadows Alive"

From Daniel Davies, godson of and guitarist to John Carpenter's recording and touring band. A very "Carpenter-esque" haunting retro synth track from "Events Score," which releases today!

Events Score is available on Bandcamp, Lakeshore Records, and a gorgeous limited vinyl release from Burning Witches Records.

Guess which one I ordered!?!? And look for Davies' next release, the highly anticipated Halloween film soundtrack alongside current bandmates John and Cody Carpenter this October!

Pye Corner Audio - "Stars Shine Like Eyes"

On rotation for tonight's prop-making session:

Goblin Rebirth

From the Relapse Records' Bandcamp page:

Relapse is beyond honored to present the debut album by Italy's Goblin Rebirth, the new band featuring the rhythm section from the original Goblin, Fabio Pignatelli and Agostino Marangolo! Goblin Rebirth mix the classic horror soundtrack sounds of their former band with a chillingly exciting drive that will thrill prog-heads and score-fiends alike. Goblin Rebirth is an instantly classic album that tells the tale of an imaginary film about the birth of an evil dwarf-like monster that sits confidently next to the classic Goblin scores like 'Suspiria', 'Profondo Rosso' and 'Tenebre'.

This sounds like it is going to be an incredible release, with one foot in the vein of Goblin's classic Italian horror scores and the other foot dipping into the current trend of synth-driven retro-horror scores. Their first release is available for pre-order now on Relapse Records!

Retro Promenade - "Carpenter"

From Bloody Disgusting:

Retro Promenade, the group behind the fantastic The Next Peak trilogy, have curated yet another themed retrosynth album that should be something you immediately download. This time they’ve gathered a ton of different artists together to pay homage to the master of horror himself, John Carpenter!

Simply titled Carpenter, the 20 track album features original tracks from amazing artists such as Lazerhawk (if you haven’t gotten Skull & Shark yet, what’s wrong with you?), Gunship (the group behind this incredible music video), VHS Glitch, and a whole lot more.

These artists have written original songs based off of multiple John Carpenter films, including Halloween, Big Trouble In Little China, They Live, Christine, The Thing, and more.
