John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies - Cathedral - Indies Exclusive Amethyst Vinyl Album & 7" Single Release Date 7th August 2026

The closest thing to a new film from John Carpenter in years! Born from a dream, this is a narrative driven album. Designed as an interactive listening experience with track by track story prompts. Released alongside an original graphic novel, expanding the album into a unified audio-visual mythology. A heavier, riff driven evolution of the Lost Themes sound, blending synths, heavy guitars and drums into a darker score.

John Carpenter summons you to CATHEDRAL, where a hallucinatory world of dread and darkness festers under Los Angeles. This ambitious new album and Carpenter’s debut graphic novel unfold together as one terrifying vision.

Inspired by a nightmare he could not shake, CATHEDRAL follows a terrifying chain of murders tied to an abandoned church.

It was so cinematic and vivid, (the dream that inspired the story). I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.

— John Carpenter
