A Taste:

Pig Destroyer, Eyehategod, Born of Osiris

“I have a tendency to take things too far,” laughs Nick Principe sinisterly. “There’s a part in Laid to Rest where I’m sawing a chick’s head off!”

However, that’s totally cool given the circumstances. Nick plays Laid to Rest’s maniacal murderer Chrome Skull. In the film, an independent slash-tastic monster of a movie, he terrorizes his victims in a sleek skull mask that could even make Jason Voorhees envious.

He continues, “Chrome Skull knows how to party, man—he really know how to fucking party!” So does Nick. In fact, in order to get into Chrome Skull’s head space, he spent a lot of time blaring some really heavy metal. He shared his playlist with us in this feature.

Check out Laid to Rest on DVD this Tuesday April 21 and see what Nick was spinning on set to get into character below!

Nick Principe’s Playlist:

1. Pig Destroyer

“I don’t know if anyone out there is really into grind core,” he said to the Fango Con crowd. “That was all I was listening to on set though [Laughs].”

2. Eyehategod

“I was listening to a lot of sludgecore like Eyehategod too—just really twisted stuff.”

3. Born of Osiris
