John Carpenter has uploaded a visualizer for his song “Revenge” from his upcoming album, 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 recalls. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”

It’s true: Cathedral has all the drama, dark atmosphere, and frenetic pacing of a classic heavy metal record. On it, Carpenter is joined by guitarist Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter, a synth wizard in his own right. The music retains all the eerie atmosphere and sinister propulsion of the epochal scores Carpenter created for his iconic films Halloween, The Fog, and Assault on Precinct 13, but this is a much heavier, riff-driven enterprise.’
