Puscifer – “The Algorithm”
Puscifer wrote and recorded a new song for a comic book series based on American Psycho. Yes, that’s right: the Bret Easton Ellis novel turned iconic 2000 movie has gotten the a comic book treatment, with a story written by Michael Calero and illustrated by Piotr Kowalski and Brad Simpson. The series published its first issue last year and is still ongoing, and now it will have a soundtrack component.
Here’s the official description: “The five-issue series delves into a dual storyline format: one tracing the chilling exploits of Patrick 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.”
Puscifer’s contribution to the soundtrack is called “The Algorithm,” and it comes with a music video that the band worked on alongside the comic artists. Puscifer’s guitarist Mat Mitchell had this to say: “Our approach to writing ‘The Algorithm’ was not to delicately peel back the layers of the onion, but instead, to take an axe to it.”
