The bulk of the stream is the live performance, recorded last November in front of actual crowds when things were very different. It’s a killer 19-song set captured at the band’s sold-out hometown show at The Worcester Palladium. This is accompanied by an original, blade-in-cheek horror flick created by INK’s own Spencer Charnas and director Myles Erfurth. Our host for the evening is horror icon Bill Moseley, AKA Chop Top in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise and Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie’s Firefly film series.
In the fourth wall-breaking segments, which are interspersed throughout the show, Bill interviews the band via separate video link-ups. We actually find out some interesting information, as Spencer claims the band are working on a new album and Bill reveals he’s working on his own screenplay, which is “no fucking romcom”. More sinister things are afoot however, as a masked figure stalks the band members in their homes. There are plenty of ‘Look behind you moments’ as - without giving too much away for anyone still to watch the on-demand version - the musos are dispatched in a variety of gruesome ways related to their own roles in the band. And having the stream experience realistic ‘technical issues’ as all this goes on? They’ve tapped into a real nightmare of the times.
