Last year, Master of Horror John Carpenter rocked North America (and beyond) with synth-infused live performances of tracks from his Lost Themes II album, and now Carpenter has announced a new album, Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998, featuring themes from 13 of his films. Get ready to mark your calendars, too, because Carpenter is hitting the road once again to bring his transcendent tracks to life on stage.
John Carpenter's new Anthology tour kicks off on October 29th in Las Vegas and currently features 14 tour dates in cities across the United States and Canada. You can check out the full schedule in the image below or by visiting Sacred Bones Records' official website.
We also have details and a look at the cover art for John Carpenter's new Anthology vinyl album that comes out on October 20th, including the audio for the "In the Mouth of Madness" track, which you can listen to below (via Sacred Bones Records).
Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998: "John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 collects 13 classic themes from Carpenter’s illustrious career together on one volume for the first time. Each theme has been newly recorded with the same collaborators that Carpenter worked with on his hit Lost Themes studio albums: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies.
