Jonny Coffin, founder and owner of Coffin Cases, has been doing a photo op with JOHN 5 for Guitar World. Now Jonny has put together the following teaser video from that shoot:

John 5 is releasing his new instrumental solo album, God Told Me To, on May 8th via Sony/RED.

God Told Me To was recorded and produced by John 5, Chris Baseford (ROB ZOMBIE, TOMMY LEE) and Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH). 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. 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.

A trailer for the album has been released and can be seen below:
