Videogram Redux!

Originally released in the summer of 2014 to coincide with Doc Terror / Horror Sexy's Italian Horror Week, Videogram's S/T album burst onto the international horror scene, receiving accolades such as "truly an amazing auditory experience" (Horror, Sci-fi & More), a "skillfully crafted faux soundtrack album grounded in retro electronica" (Rue Morgue), and "the most powerful piece of electronic scoring to hit the horror community this year" (Lunchmeat VHS Fanzine).

Created as a trailer show for a fictitious 1980s VHS distributor, the album offered sixteen tracks of genre-influenced sounds, with inspiration culled from the sleazy slasher, dusty post-apocalyptic dirger, supernatural horror, and Italian cannibal section of the VHS rental store, bookmarked between faux idents and a voice-over copyright warning.

Now, having remixed each original track, culling bonus tracks from out-of-print releases as well as previously unreleased material, the album has been reissued as Videogram Redux, the first in a series of three collecting early and unreleased material.

Get the 20-track, 41-minute album via Bandcamp (€7/$8.40) here.

(As promised, those that showed their much-appreciated support early on can get in touch for a free download code.)

All-new Teepublic merch store!

"Bat's all Folks!" by Clay Graham

May 1st marks the launch date of my all-new merch store on TeePublic! Throughout April I've browsed hundreds of fan art t-shirts, building an inventory, adding tons of the cool designs available.

Fans of all things genre, horror, and cult will find something neat among the 250+ designs collected so far. There's Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, Hellraiser, and John Carpenter titles, to mention just a few! All great-looking work made by some truly amazing artists such as Beast Pop ArtWorks, Mike Handy Art, Butcher Billy, Andysocial Industries, Vic Neko Escalante, and Donovan Alex - Illustration & design.

As a show of gratitude for all that James Harris of Doc Terror and HorrorSexy done for this project, I've decided to donate everything earned throughout this month to the The James "Doc Terror" Harris Fund on Go Fund Me. Payment will be made the following month, on June 15th. Those who wish to donate to the fund directly, are encouraged to do so at https://www.gofundme.com/XTWY9QB8

You'll find the all-new store here.

Podcasts!

Check it out: As of now Deep Red Radio - Das Filmmagazin's post-apocalyptic/cyborg special can be streamed and downloaded via their official SoundCloud page. Featuring 2077: Raiders of the Apocalypse off my S/T album, the roughly 40 minute show includes fellow Cineploit artists and a cool intro by Jean-Claude Van Damme!

While on the subject, last week saw the launch of the HorrorSexy podcast. Debuting with an episode focusing on screeners, I'm happy to say they decided to use Regina dei Cannibali End Titles as a title theme. Two episodes are online so far. Check 'em out!

UPDATE: Just received word that the HorrorSexy podcast can be downloaded for free on iTunes here.

Cobretti

This is where the law stops and I start. The all-new Cobretti EP was released today on my Bandcamp! Featuring one track from the coming Cineploit full length, two exclusive ones (including one collaboration with D.A. Medina), you get all three tracks for $3, the whole EP inspired by the Cannon Group action classic Cobra.

The video - using footage from said movie - was launched on my official YouTube channel, and has been receiving some pretty cool feedback so far, so make sure to check it out and feel free to share it on your social media.

UPDATE: The first week's batch of reviews are in. A ton of thank-yous go out to Cinema Slasher, Lunchmeat VHS Fanzine, Horror Sexy, Horror Sci-Fi and More, The Scream Review and The Rotting Zombie for the much-appreciated support. Make sure to check them all out, give them a "like" and tell them I sent ya!

Update

As February is coming to a close I figured it was time for an update: The second physical Videogram release is in the works right now as I finished up my end of it this past week.

Both Lunchmeat VHS Fanzine and Doc Terror/Horror Sexy are in on this, Loud Comix' Jamie Vayda did the artwork and I don't wanna ruin the surprise, but it's gonna be a pretty insane one that I hope will make people as psyched as I was creating it. Teasers will be posted later on!

The Cineploit album is coming along quite nicely. I've been mixing a lot of drum tracks this past week (I just finished up one tonight) and soundwise this one's gonna be a pretty beefy album - if you liked my Camp Blood single this'll be right up your alley.

For those wanting a taste there's probably gonna be a digital EP released soon-ish featuring one album track with some exclusive bonus tracks - including one that has some choice synths courtesy D.A. Medina. Stay tuned!
