Diamante shared:
“Since I can remember, I have always been a huge fan of songs from the 80s, especially of the female powerhouse vocalists of that time. In particular, Pat Benatar has always been a hero of mine, and I love nothing more than a good challenge. So for me, recording this version of “Love Is a Battlefield” was a lifelong dream come true.”
Speaking about the soundtrack, president of Sumerian Comics , Nathan Yocum, also commented:
“We are beyond excited to present this soundtrack as a true celebration of music and storytelling, brought together by some of the most talented and dynamic artists in the industry today. This project is a testament to the power of collaboration, and we can’t wait for fans to experience how these songs complement the world of American Psycho in a bold and electrifying way. It’s more than just a soundtrack—it’s a journey into the dark and thrilling atmosphere that this series embodies.”
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).
Today’s release joins previously released tracks from the likes of Gvllow featuring Mothica who breathed new life into Billy Idol‘s “Eyes Without A Face,” Charlotte Sands who dropped a massive cover of AFI’s smash-hit “Miss Murder,” Royal & The Serpent who tackled Leadbelly classic “Where Did You Sleep Last Night,” Ice Nine Kills feat. Reel Big Fish , who gave the Katrina and The Waves smash hit, “Walking On Sunshine” the ska punk treatment, Puscifer, who recorded a brand new, original single, “The Algorithm” for the comic book series, Unlike Pluto who covered Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams,” and Perturbator, who covered “Dangerous” by Depeche Mode. Between them, the previously released tracks have racked up over 6.1 million streams with current sales for the comic book series topping 80,000 units.
