John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, & Daniel Davies - Cathedral [audioCD]

Experience Cathedral, the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream he had in 2024. This Pop/Film Music release is uniquely designed as the soundtrack to the accompanying graphic novel, with each track corresponding to a specific section of the book, creating a fully interactive experience when combined with the liner notes.

The music on Cathedral retains the eerie atmosphere and sinister propulsion of Carpenter's epochal film scores like Halloween and The Fog, but presents a much heavier, riff-driven enterprise. Carpenter emphasizes that music is paramount to creating fear, and this album is intended to make listeners imagine they are watching a movie.

• Liner notes include prompts for each track, enhancing interactivity with the graphic novel.
