Nathan Yocum, President of Sumerian Comics, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, sharing:
“Joining forces with the legendary rock band PUSCIFER for our soundtrack to the ‘American Psycho’ comic book series is an electrifying collaboration. This original song brings an intensity and depth to the narrative, elevating the experience for fans and readers alike. We’re thrilled to amplify the story’s impact with PUSCIFER’s signature sound, creating a fusion of music and storytelling that will further captivate audiences.”
The ‘American Psycho’ comic book series by Sumerian Comics is a bold reimagining of Patrick Bateman’s notorious saga. The five-issue series delves into a dual storyline format; one tracing the chilling exploits of Bateman, and the other introducing a contemporary narrative featuring Charlene Carruthers—a social media-savvy millennial whose descent into violence mirrors the chilling escalation of her predecessor. This innovative take reinterprets the iconic tale with a story written by Michael Calero (Quested), vivid artwork by Piotr Kowalski (The Witcher, Bloodborne, Sex) and striking colours by Brad Simpson (Kong of Skull Island, Stray Dogs, Blade Runner Origins).
‘The Algorithm’ by PUSCIFER, joins previously released tracks from the soundtrack from Unlike Pluto who covered Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams‘, Perturbator, who covered ‘Dangerous‘ by Depeche Mode and Ramsey, who covered Leadbelly‘s ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night‘. Between them, the previously released tracks have racked up over 677,000 streams with current sales for the graphic novel series topping 80,000 units.
Fans of the ‘American Psycho’ franchise can look forward to more from the accompanying soundtrack for the comic book series that perfectly complements the visual frenzy and deepens the narrative’s impact, making each issue a multifaceted experience of sight and sound.
