Catch
JOHN 5 this Spring with Rob Zombie on Co-Headliner Tour with Megadeth
JOHN 5 and MetalInjection.net are pleased to unveil an exclusive new in-studio clip cut from JOHN 5’s
upcoming CD/DVD, God Told Me To. The clip shows John in the
studio playing a new track, ‘Welcome to Violence’, and showcases his unique
ability and skill with his instrument that is proven time and time again
throughout the new album. God Told Me To will be
released through Rocket Science Ventures and Sony/RED on May 8th,
2012—just days before he heads out to perform with Rob Zombie on
their upcoming co-headliner with Megadeth (see below for tour
dates).
God
Told Me To was
recorded and produced by JOHN 5, Chris Baseford (Rob Zombie, Tommy
Lee) and Bob Marlette (Sebastian Bach, Black Sabbath) in
2011. The cover art for the album is illustrated by none other than Rob
Zombie, who is also tapping JOHN 5 to score the entirety
of his upcoming film, ‘The Lords of Salem’. JOHN 5’s resume has
seen him work with some of the most renowned musicians in the industry (Rob
Halford, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie to name a
few), and has cemented his name into the annals of rock history.
The CD
portion of the release features ten painstakingly handcrafted pieces
transcending multiple styles—an equal combination of acoustic and
electronically influenced tracks—each designed to gradually reveal JOHN
5’s innovative interpretation of his instrument. The orchestration of God
Told Me To showcases JOHN 5’s ability to master the
subtlety of dynamics, thus emphasizing the overall production value of this
body of work. God Told Me To stands tall as a stunning,
audible cultural experience.
The DVD portion
of the release is hosted by retro-style horror-host Mike Odd and takes a look
inside the world of JOHN 5 during his terrifying trip into the
realm of God Told Me To. The DVD features footage of JOHN
5 in the studio while working on the new album, exclusive videos taken
on tour, a peek inside the photo shoot for his 2011 remix album Remixploitation,
and more.
