NECA, The A.V. Club and more.



Well, it's been a interesting couple of days to say the least! The reception for the Voorhees Stomp video has been amazing - and not only from the horror community. As you can see, U.S. merchandiser NECA gave it a much-appreciated shout-out on their Facebook page early on, which was quite thrilling for both me and director Aaron Romero. If you're even remotely interested in all things cult on TV, film, gaming etc. you're already familiar with the company. Have you seen their 8-bit video game Jason Voorhees 7" action figure?

The A.V. Club gave it a write-up as well, and, to be perfectly honest, it was quite surreal seeing our work sandwiched between news about director Robert Rodriguez' coming project and America's Next Top Model. The humor of the video is coming across, as the article states that "The image of an 8-bit Jason Voorhees cutting a rug underneath a disco ball makes the video worth a watch all by itself."

Next up, writer Michael Crisman over at Retro Gaming Magazine gave it a great write-up in his Voorhees Stomp: The 8-bit Video Hit article. Stating that the video (and track) is making "one hell of a splash in both the gaming and music scenes", Michael continues that "If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, or have been tasked with providing the tunes for someone else’s, Videogram just might have what you’re looking for to make your next get-together a killer memory they’ll never forget." Much appreciated, Michael!

Voorhees Stomp (video)!



Here we go! After having a sneak preview at the Deliria Ă–ver Vienna film festival this past weekend, the all-new video for Voorhees Stomp has been officially released! Directed by Romero himself - Aaron Romero, that is - the video is a tongue-in-cheek 8-bit tribute to Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan.

This one turned out great! As both a fan of the iconic Friday the 13th franchise and the creator of the track I couldn't be more stoked about this one. Aaron did a great job recreating each and every kill from the movie, staying true to the original source while maintaining a sense of humor about it - horror should be fun in my opinion.

Promos are being sent out right now courtesy Cineploit, so expect this track to hit select radio stations as well as blogs and various horror sites in the near future.

The Pre-Cert LP/CD/download will be relased on November 13th and the Camp Blood 10" pic disc EP/download - featuring this track and more - will be available starting December 18th.

EDIT: The video's gotten a nice selection of write-ups and shout-outs during the week. Many thanks to Friday the 13th: The Film Franchise,  Skullbanger Media, Horror Talk, Daily Dead and Swedish site Monsterdiggare for the support! Check them out.

EDIT II: More much-appreciated write ups comes courtesy Holly's Horrorland (comes complete with a link where you can play the original Friday the 13th NES game online!), Icons of Fright and Tom Holland's Terror Time!

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.

Outpost 31 Isn't Responding

Check it out: My two-track tribute to John Carpenter's sci-horror film The Thing, Outpost 31 Isn't Responding, has been released digitally today.

Taken from the same sessions as the coming Pre-Cert LP/CD on Cineploit, these tracks are exclusive to the release and won't appear anywhere else.

The title track is heavily inspired by the feel composer Ennio Morricone created for the 1982 classic, and I set out to create a similar sort of theme-quality, really taking my time with it.

The single comes with a gorgeous sleeve created by U.S. artist Van Davis that truly captures not only the vibe of the movie, but the title track as well! I couldn't be more stoked having his work used as a presentation of my music, so make sure you check out his portfolio here!

The single is available for purchase via my official Bandcamp page, and will also appear on iTunes, Deezer etc. later on. Give it a spin below!

EDIT: If you act fast and head on over to Cineploit's official Facebook page you can enter their contest to win a free download of the single!
