A few weeks ago, we wrote about American Murder Song, the new musical project from Terrance Zdunich (Repo! The Genetic Opera) and Saar Hendelman (The Devil’s Carnival series). Embracing the horror aesthetics that brought the two together and channeling the early 19th century, the music promises to be exciting, full of mystery and intrigue, and loaded with murder!
To help give you a taste of what’s to come, we’ve got our hands on a video from the duo that introduces a character from their story, a lovely lady by the name of “Pretty Lavinia”! However, don’t take your eyes off the drink she pours you, lest poison and death is the journey you wish to embark upon!
Zdunich tells Bloody-Disgusting:
Wayfarers, strangers and fine countrymen, we invite you to rise for a blacker shot of Murder Ballads. Combining stop motion animation and moving daguerreotype portraits, American Murder Song features a rogues gallery of original murder ballads set in early nineteenth century America.
The first official track will drop one week from today, April 26th, on their official website (link below). You can watch the video above and see a brand new poster below!
