The namesĀ Terrance ZdunichĀ andĀ Saar HendelmanĀ may not be all too familiar but their work surely is. The musical sensation and brilliant talents have brought fans films such asĀ Repo: The Genetic OperaĀ andĀ The Devilās Carnival. Being the two music masterminds behind the rock-opera horror films have gained them an incredible amount of respect throughout the industry. They have a new project looming andĀ We Are Indie HorrorĀ cannot wait.
American Murder SongĀ sees the two pair up again for another project that has caught the attention of many fans within the genre. There is not too much known about this upcoming project but we are going to divulge into everything we know here.
First and foremost it is mentioned as a musician/band on Facebook leading us to believe that this is not another film but an album and musical group forming of some sorts. Does that mean a live tour? We certainly hope so and with the minds likeĀ ZdunichĀ andĀ HendlmanĀ we expect a hell of a show to accompany. But what exactly isĀ American Murder Song?
It is written as such: āA collection of original murder balladsā. You can make that what you will. As of right nowĀ WAIHĀ believes that line to be what the album will feel like. The songs will be slower than a standard rock opera, along the lines of more ballad rock. And the content will all be around murder. Sound good yet?
For the past 5 weeks,Ā American Murder SongĀ has been releasing teaser videos viaĀ YouTube. Each video, no more than a minute, sports a sample of a song and eerie images to accompany. From what we have heard thus far, this album whenever released is going to be epic. Somber in tone, dark in content, and beautiful in arrangement; the samples of the songs have us hooked. Every Tuesday a new video is released on their channel. The latest one, released yesterday, is titledĀ Pretty Lavinia. This particular song is heavier and more aggressive than the previous released which still has us more hyped than we should be.
The one last bit of information we could find is a āworld premiereā date and location. If you are in the North East of the United States, you are definitely not going to want to miss this. OnĀ May 13-15thĀ atĀ The Steampunk Worldās Fair,Ā American Murder SongĀ will finally make their world premiere inĀ New Jersey. Again what this entails, we have no clue. SinceĀ WAIHĀ is on the west coast, we will not be able to check this event out. We will keep you updated with any other dates added to their list.
Watch the latest video below and right underneathĀ Pretty LaviniaĀ is a playlist to the rest of the songs previously released followed by a trailer.
