John Carpenter and bandmates Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies announced Friday that they will be releasing a new single on Tuesday. “The Ferryman” will be the second track from Cathedral, following “Lord of the Underground.”
Cathedral is a graphic novel coming Aug.4 with a soundtrack album coming Aug. 7. Each track corresponds to a chapter of the graphic novel.
“The Ferryman” introduces the subterranean character. John Carpenter said the story was inspired by a dream he had in 2024.
“It was so cinematic and vivid,” John Carpenter said in a statement. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”
Carpenter has been performing concerts the scores he wrote for horror films such as Halloween, The Thing and Escape from New York, including some music for films like Starman he did not write. He has also released albums of original music.
