October

October's here and, starting today, RetroSynth will be posting three horror synth videos on their YouTube channel. Artists featured will be, to just mention a few, Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Cineploit label mates Zoltan and Videogram. Check out their YouTube channel here and make sure to give their official Facebook page a like here.

Haddonfield, New Jersey's radio show Baron's Crypt aired some choice Videogram cuts in their recent show focusing on horror features released in 2016. Other acts include Misfits' own Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein! The show airs on Fridays at 6:30 PM Eastern, but you can stream it here. Check them out on their official Facebook page here.

In other news I'm pretty thrilled to share that Vestra Pictures just announced that their coming documentary VHS Lives will be released on both limited-edition VHS and DVD this year! They also announced that they have secured a distributor for this documentary and that it will see a release on DVD and VOD in early 2017.

A fun look into the collector scene and other things VHS, the documentary features interviews with Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, director Jörg Buttgereit, Thomas Hodge aka The Dude Designs, and me, talking mainly about Videogram and how VHS left its mark on me and my music.

Voorhees Stomp!

Check it out! Last night saw the on-air debut of Voorhees Stomp off the coming Pre-Cert LP/CD (and the Camp Blood 10" EP) as Austria's ORF FM4 show House of Pain aired a special on Cineploit and its artists.

The language is Austrian, but the special begins at roughly 23:01:00 and Voorhees Stomp at roughly 23:12:55. The special also includes a taste from Zoltan's coming tribute to Don Coscarelli's 1979 classic Phantasm and more!

Available to stream for the next seven days (not too sure as my German isn't that great and there is a bit of a difference between that and Austrian), you can check it out here.

Cineploit!

Happy New Year!

I am thrilled to start this off by announcing that I am teaming up with Euro label Cineploit. Home of artists such as Orgasmo Sonore and Zoltan (to name just a few), I am very excited about joining their roster and can't wait to take this project to the next level.

2014 was such a great year, and the six-month support Videogram was shown by the international horror community nothing short of amazing. I am looking forward to get to work and give them a great second album!
