It's a Wednesday night and I'm in a town not too far from San Antonio.  It's a good hour jaunt from Austin (which I've called home over the last 3 years) but I made the trip to hang out with my good friend and official Gore Noir staff photographer, Obscuri.  Obscuri has been creating amazing  ambient horror music lately and I couldn't wait to hear some of the tracks.  We are sitting in his new "Doom Room" surrounded by his medical collection, listening to some of the music that he's been working on.  Each track he starts up has it's own feel and aesthetic to it.  Each brings it's own imagery to mind and as we listen I'm talking to Obscuri, explaining the visuals that are popping into my mind as the music plays.  It also helps to set the tone as the real human skulls are staring back at us in the Doom Room and the wet specimens lay in their jars.  All of this helped fuel the creativity that Obscuri's music was now invoking.

Obscuri is talking about some of the haunts and bands that he has already started working for and creating his ambient tracks for.  The soundscapes he creates definitely lend themselves to an overall feeling that would work well in a haunted house.  Once we've crawled our way through his project tracks we decided to mess around and create a new track on the spot.  It was interesting being able to watch the creation process and give input to help mold the soundscape.  The piece ended up having a very 70's satanic slasher's house feel to it.  I'll link you to it and more of his music below (the name of the track is "Gates to Hell".  If you have yet to hear any of Obscuri's work definitely check it out and hire him for your movies, your haunt, your batmitzva or whatever you need dark ominous music for.  Enjoy!  (Click here to go to the full soundtrack site for Obscuri)

One went to Obscuri and 5 will be available to all you guys tomorrow at 2PM-ish.


Hello to all of you out there in Goreland!  This project has been in the works for awhile and it's exciting to actually put these up for sale!

Digital Goodness!

While we are first and foremost a print magazine, we also recognize that some can't afford to pay for the print version.  Especially in other countries where the shipping costs are pretty steep.  That's why we off our magazine in digital format.  I want as many people to see the magazine as possible.  I love bringing new and established artists to all of you on a regular basis.

The easiest way to get our magazine is by downloading the magzter app on ANY of your devices it's pretty much available on all of them.  Hit the link to get the mag!

Jesus says PREORDER NOW!

Issue 8 has just hit the Presale on our page!  www.gorenoirmagazine.bigcartel.com to pick yourself up one!  Either grab it now while it's $10 a piece or wait and pay $13.  It's up to you..  The cover features the amazing artist Godmachine and his bloody amazing depiction of Medusa.  This bitch will turn you to stone if you don't buy a copy.  Fuck.. I went there..  Sorry..  So moving along..  Let's talk about who's in this issue and why you should buy it.

Steve Tefft is a tattoo artist.  He loves all things dark and morbid and inks them on people.  Steve was also crowned "Ink Master" on Spike's reality show of the same name.  Yea that one reality show with that guitarist guy.  You'll see some of Steve's awesome work in issue 8.  There's definitely a strong God/Jesus theme going on with this issue.  I swear it wasn't on purpose but it would have been awesome to have came out around Easter huh?

 Next up is "Fist of Jesus" and head over to our Facebook and look on the wall for the video to watch this awesome short movie about Jesus and zombies..  and there's a lot of fish involved..  Don't worry they're fake..  I'm sure no animals were harmed in the shooting of Fist of Jesus unless a bug or two was accidentally smothered in the INSANE AMOUNT of blood that is spilled.  www.facebook.com/gorenoir  I first found the guys who made FOJ when I happened upon their short Brutal Relax on the Popcorn Horror app.  (if you have an iphone you need to download this app)  They definitely cater to my type of crowd..  The guys who like over the top splatter and just crazy funny horror that doesn't take itself too seriously.  If you take yourself seriously..  STOP!  Just take deep breathes and move on..  It'll be okay we swear..  Okay maybe it won't be okay and we're going to hell in a handbasket but let's at least have some fun before we get there?

 God Module!  Yup more God..   We have an interview with Jasyn from God Module and some awesome photography by Obscuri to go along with said interview..  And we hit you with one of our shitty "Fuck, Marry, Kill"s and you'll have to buy the mag to find out who we threw into the fire pit of FMK this time..  You can learn a lot about a person by thrown a Fuck Marry Kill at them..  Not many people are expecting that out of a prestigious, high society magazine such as ours..  Then it's like..  BAM!  FUCK MARRY KILL!  NOW!  Alright here's one for you if you made it this far into this post..  Cameron Diaz, Mila Kunis, Olga Kurylenko..  Post who you'd fuck, who you'd marry.. and who you'd kill (and how) in the comments section down there vvvvv

El Six String!!  This dude is from Austin and we found his artwork when we were eating some food at a local restaurant.  We actually sat under the piece that you see to the left.  I really want a piece of art by this guy on our wall ASAP!  Anyway..  If you can't tell this guy works in Vinyl..  The shiny, sparkly low rider type of vinyl.  It's all cut out by hand and sew together.  He gives us the exact procedure in the article but.. MAN!  This guy's amazing!!  We have a bunch of other artists and musicians and models.. Such as IDSFA, The Rhythm Coffin (article by VooDoo Rob!), Lost or Forgotten Photography, Digital Pulse, and all kinds other types of stuff in store for you for this issue so grab a preorder and wait patiently!!

Ghouls Night Out: Official B&W Zine Issue Sponsor!

Ghouls Night Out Fest 2013

When I first imagined the B&W issue I was going for high quality paper and artists just like our regular magazine but in a B&W format.  Recently I realized the error in my ways.  Why just be a little different when you could go back to the roots?  Zines are an awesome way for people to get all their art and writing and whatever creative imaginings out in the public.  I've also always been attracted to heavily xeroxed images.  The grain to me is a thing of beauty.  So it was decided then.  The B&W issue was going to be a Zine version of the same old Gore Noir Magazine you've come to hate.

Now what were we going to cover?  Well.. Bands and Zines go together like PB&J right?  I've always wanted to cover more bands but just never had the space.  The regular GN mag leans more towards Art and Photography so this would be the perfect format to give all these awesome bands that have been hitting us up a chance to get printed.  So we're DIY'ing this sonovabitch and cut and pasting it all together.  We've already got the cover.  The bands have been pouring in.  What's next?  I'm missing something here aren't I?

Suzi Rubbish by Obscuri

Oh yea fucking advertising!  Well I wanted to go 32 pages with this issue.  Keep costs down and we won't be too high on glue sticks after we're done.  I also don't want to cut any of these bands or artists out.. What do I do?  Fuck it we'll just go with one sponsor/advertiser on the back page and give the people what they want..  Lots and lots of content with pretty much no ads.  AND that my friends is where we are at!  This is where Matt from Ghouls Night Out steps in and snags up the opportunity right off the bat.  We now have an awesome sponsor in Ghouls Night Out Fest!  It's perfect... These guys bring you the best in horror music every year in their festival.. And we were going to be bringing you the best in horror music in a Zine.  Perfect fit!

Expect TONS of horror bands to browse through.  Some really cool B&W art, and that sweet cut and paste quality.  This issue doesn't have a due date as of yet but when I'm 80% done I'll start doing presales and I'll post to the Facebook page

It's coming.. Where will you be when it hits?

Cover art featuring artwork for Necro

Can you hear it coming over the mountain?  It's a bloody beast.. Leaving lots of death, tattoos, and horror in it's wake..  Leaving tattoos in it's wake?  WTF?  Don't question me.. It's Gore Noir Magazine issue #7!  Lucky number 7 is of course the awesomest yet!  We have Necro the king of death rap. The Enigma and Serana Rose who are sideshow extraordinaire's and tattooed like no other..  Grimbro who brings us the most amazing digital art we've seen in awhile..

Kreepsville 666 clothing that is sure to have something ghoulish to cover your flesh suit up with.  Allan Graves is tattooing all over the world and bringing us brilliant pickchur books so we can feast our eye marbles on em.  Devanny Pinn tells us about her movie The Black Dahlia Haunting and also brings her costars along with her for a bloody good Gore Noir exclusive photoshoot.  Talyn Stone donates blood to our cause and we have photos of that.. of course.. Jm Grimm of the Grimm City Girls brings us his first installment of Grimm Views where he reviews some of the low down dirtiest of the genre.  We introduce you to Suzi Rubbish the bloody winner of Miss Gore Noir 2013.

Backcover art by Grimbro

Derek Mick of Obscuri has joined forces with us and is helping in our plot to hide as many lovely dead bodies as possible.  Taylor Haggard adds to her writing duties for the magazine and brings us her Putrid Picks.. 3 items that you'll want to wrap your cockles around.  Of course we are always bringing you the freshest recipes in our Cannibal Cookbook section that just recently expanded and became it's own blog, and is hoping for a future book release.

Deville Photography sends us messages in a bottle from across the pond and we give you some of her baby eating, morbid sex having, tattooed, and 80's inspired photography.  Did we mention her one of her 2 girls 1 gut photos will be the centerfold poster?  My fingers are hurting from typing this much.  You don't have much time to get the mag on preorder so take advantage of that 3 dollar savings and head on over!
