Best of 2015!



Okay, it's the final week before the X-Mas holidays and I've got a couple of updates to share with you! First up, I am super-thrilled to announce that UK distributor Code 7 Distribution chose my Pre-Cert LP/CD to kick off their Best Albums of 2015 series! Check out the nomination here, and if you're located in the UK you can get both the album and the Camp Blood EP via Norman Records here and here.

One Way Static got the LP version of my Cineploit debut back in stock, but they're already down to their last copies, so act fast and get yours here. Many thanks to those that ordered up a storm! EDIT: They're accepting pre-orders on the Camp Blood 10" EP, to be shipped out early January 2016. Check it out here.

EDIT II: Earlier this week Cineploit posted a photo of the Camp Blood EP on their official Facebook page. Check it out below and order yours direct (€16/$17, plus postage) here. You can still stream and download the digital version on my Bandcamp page here.


For those across the Atlantic, I've been informed that both the album and EP are starting to arrive in the U.S. right about now. You can pre-order them via Dusty Groove, Collector's Choice Vinyl as well as Streetlight Records in San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz. Retailers Barnes & Noble and Best Buy carries them as well.

While on that subject: Even though the date has passed for me and Cineploit's album launch event on Facebook, I am updating the page with mailorders and stores that carry the records, organized alphabetically by country. Head on over here to find the one closest to your location.

Fangoria writer Sean Smithson recently launched the Funaddicts podcast, and the first episode offers topics such as Captain America: Civil War, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, toy collecting, video games and choice cuts from both my album and EP. You can stream the cast in the top video or on YouTube, and visit the official website here.

Got an initial batch of Camp Blood EP reviews to share. Neon Vice covered it twice with an initial shout-out and a proper mini-review following, calling it "pretty damn excellent" and that the "digital exclusive tracks really bring the funk" (read it in full here).

Fan favorite Friday the 13th: The Film Franchise summed it up as a "fun little remix", check that one out here. Those wanting all eight tracks available in a physical format can do so in 2016. It'll be something fun and extra, so stay tuned for more info on that!

Finally, check out the killer C.H.U.D. t-shirt I got via Camera Viscera in the U.S.!

The same horror site that offers the super-cool Stephen King badge (done classic Burger King-logo style), offers this D.A.R.E. tribute to the 1984 cult classic. I got it in the mail earlier this week and I just love it.

You can get yours via their Teepublic page, $20 plus postage, here, you'll find more goodies - including the all-new Stephen King Burger King logo enamel pin - on their bigcartel site here, and make sure to give their Facebook page a like here.

Camp Blood EP digital!


Here we go: December's here and that means the digital version of the Camp Blood EP has been launched on my Bandcamp page! Featuring the five tracks from the 10" pic disc EP on Cineploit, this version adds some exclusive bonus tracks, the original 2014 version of Camp Blood as well as the Voorhees Stomp 8-bit video directed by Aaron Romero. Check it out here.

Cineploit are accepting pre-orders on the vinyl edition. And this one's a must for the collector, as it comes with gorgeous artwork courtesy German artist Andy Grail and Cursed Camp Studios. Get it directly via their website for €16/$17, plus postage, here.



In other news, iconic Starburst Magazine recently posted their review of my Pre-Cert album. Summing it up as a "fantastic compilation that plays like a best-of" and "absolutely inspired", they gave the album a whopping 8 stars out of 10! Read it in full here.
