French synthwave artist, Carpenter Brut is the latest artist to add his take on a classic track for the official sountrack to Sumerian Comics' 'American Psycho' comic book series. Enlisting the vocal talents of Ulver's Krystoffer Rygg, Carpenter Brut presents his cover of the Billy Idol classic, "Eyes Without A Face". The track is available to stream on your platform of choice now.
Speaking on his fresh take on this 80s classic, Carpenter Brut shares: "I wanted to do a cover that was a bit different from the usual, slower than what I'm used to, and "Eyes without a face" was an obvious choice for me. I thought Kris from Ulver would be the perfect match for the vocals. It turned out to be one of his favorite songs. So it was a sign to do this cover. We're very proud of the result." Nathan Yocum, President of Sumerian Comics , adds: “Carpenter Brut and Krystoffer Rygg from Ulver bring a dark, electrifying twist to Billy Idol's classic 'Eyes Without a Face,' perfectly complementing the haunting themes of our 'American Psycho' comic book series. From one musician that’s the pinnacle of Darksynth collaborating with a legendary Norwegian vocalist, this track has it all!”
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 colors by Brad Simpson (Kong of Skull Island, Stray Dogs, Blade Runner Origins).
Today's release joins previously released tracks from the likes of Ice Nine Kills feat. Reel Big Fish, who tackled the Katrina and The Waves smash hit, "Walking On Sunshine", Puscifer, who recorded a brand new, original single, "The Algorithm" for the comic book series, 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 comic book series topping 80,000 units.
