John Carpenter expands his universe with Cathedral, an album created as the soundtrack to an original graphic novel written with long-time collaborator Sandy King and Sean Sobczak. Inspired by a dream involving murder, catacombs and supernatural forces beneath downtown Los Angeles, the project unfolds as a full narrative experience, with each track tied directly to scenes in the story. Issued by Sacred Bones, Cathedral pushes beyond the imagined-film approach of the Lost Themes series into heavier territory. Eerie synths, driving rhythms and Daniel Davies’ guitar work bring a darker, more metallic edge while retaining the atmosphere that defined Carpenter’s classic film scores. Interactive track prompts deepen the connection between music and story, making this feel less like a standalone album and more like stepping into a lost John Carpenter film. Fans of Goblin, Tangerine Dream and classic horror soundtracks should feel right at home.
