BlobCo and Storm King Comics present WTF Wednesday: John Carpenter’s Cathedral Listening Party Double Feature at the Rosendale Theatre!

Be among the first audiences in the world to experience a brand new sonic nightmare from John Carpenter, with a special video intro from The Horror Master himself!

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 director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream Carpenter had in 2024.

Cathedral has all the drama, dark atmosphere, and frenetic pacing of a classic heavy metal record. Especially designed as the soundtrack to the graphic novel, each track corresponds to a specific section of the book. The liner notes included with the album packaging feature prompts for each track, creating a fully interactive experience. Combined with the graphic novel, it’s the closest thing to a new John Carpenter film in years.

Following the Cathedral Listening Party stick around for a screening of John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, featuring one of Carpenter’s most complete and aurally unnerving scores.

Want to take the terror home? The complete John Carpenter’s Cathedral Bundle, featuring the graphic novel, and Deep Blue Variant LP is available for purchase with a special discount for Rosendale Theatre Members!

Note: LPs will not be available for pickup until Friday, August 7th at the Rosendale Theatre Box Office or World’s End Comics in Kingston.

About John Carpenter’s Cathedral (The Graphic Novel):

In the middle of downtown Los Angeles, an abandoned cathedral stands, fenced in and ignored by the world around it. The preoccupied passers-by have long since ceased to notice

Today, @TheHorrorMaster and longtime band mates Cody Carpenter and @DDaviesMusic share a second track from ‘Cathedral’ - a project that marks Carpenter’s highly anticipated return to the realm of audio/visual narrative storytelling. Following previously shared track “Lord of The Underground”, today we share the grinding and dramatic track “The Ferryman”, along with imagery from the graphic novel. Incredible visualizer by Antwan R. Johnson @iamtweezy904

The project spans a new album set for release August 7th on @SacredBones alongside his first ever graphic novel, set for release August 4 via @StormKingComics.

In a story rich with River Styx iconography, “The Ferryman” scores a scene in which we encounter the subterranean character of the same name. “I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way,” Davies says. “It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.”

Designed as a fully immersive project, ‘Cathedral’ functions as both soundtrack and narrative engine: each track aligns with a chapter of the graphic novel, with liner notes guiding listeners through the story. As a result the story unfurls like a film and is certainly the closest approximation to a new movie from Carpenter since 2010. “It was so cinematic and vivid,” Carpenter says of the dream that inspired the story. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”

Pre-order your copy of the album and graphic novel today!

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.

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.
