From Da' Ville to the Grammys. A few days ago, my visualizer for @TheHorrorMaster - single Lord Of The Underground - played for a sold-out crowd at the @GRAMMYMuseum while he and @claudsimonetti entertained us all with a dope convo. Guess I'm part of the Grammy family now.

“It was so cinematic and vivid,” (the dream that inspired the story). “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.” - @TheHorrorMaster Written and produced by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies (@DDaviesMusic ), CATHEDRAL is an ambitious new experience in horror, with each track unfolding alongside a chapter of the graphic novel and expanded through accompanying liner notes. The visualizer rips the sound and story off the page into a fever dream of ruin and rebirth. Return to the darkness with John Carpenter ‘Lord of the Underground’ is streaming everywhere now and CATHEDRAL is available for pre order. Pre-order at johncarpenterscathedral.com and sacredbones.com @SacredBones Visualizer by Antwan R. Johnson youtu.be/Vj89q66nANs?si=QHlk…

John Carpenter summons you to CATHEDRAL, where a hallucinatory world of dread and darkness festers under Los Angeles. This ambitious new album and Carpenter’s debut graphic novel unfold together as one terrifying vision. The album releases August 7 via @sacredbones with the graphic novel arriving August 4 from @stormkingcomics . Inspired by a nightmare he could not shake, CATHEDRAL follows a terrifying chain of murders tied to an abandoned church. As detectives descend into its tunnels searching for answers they find something sinister and otherworldly instead. Every track scores a chapter, pushing the horror forward to a thrilling conclusion. Pre-order the limited deluxe collector’s edition, featuring @sacredbones Exclusive Midnight Splatter, exclusive 7” of live recordings of “Lord of the Underground” and “Last Rites” captured at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, a signed promo press photo and the Sacred Bones exclusive art variant of the Cathedral graphic novel. Additional bundles include the Sacred Bones Exclusive Midnight Splatter vinyl 7” paired with the exclusive graphic novel variant, as well as the standalone LP editions on multiple color variants, and CD. Don’t miss out on the limited edition Cathedral t-shirt & long sleeve designs we have available, all at sacredbones.com!

As you may have heard, “The Thing” has been added to the Library of Congress. We made the movie to push against the edges of what we could pull off, and it carries that strain in its bones. Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life. I especially want to remember TK Carter, who brought heart and humor into that desolate, frozen place and should be standing here with us today sharing in this recognition.  Thank you to everyone who continues to keep it alive.
