Emerging from a love of horror and darkness, Horror Scene crafts cinematic metal blending intensity, theatrics, and psychological themes, pushing boundaries with provocative storytelling, immersive performances, and an sinister universe.
1. Horror
Scene was born from a fascination with horror cinema and psychological
themes—what specific films, stories, or real-life influences first shaped your
vision as a band?
We changed our name to Horror Scene back in
September of 2025. We were originally called Suicide Puppets. The
name change came out of necessity due to getting pushed down in algorithms and
google would not let us advertise anymore because we had Suicide in the band
name. When we did the name change we wanted to embody more of the horror
aspect of our band. We have always been about murder, horror, mayhem and
death and we feel this name is more fitting. There are not any specific
films or stories that shaped the band, we just love horror.
2. Your
music feels incredibly cinematic. When writing a song, do you approach it more
like scoring a horror film or building a traditional metal track?
Typically, we come
at it building a traditional metal track. When we start adding all the
orchestral parts is when it really gets that cinematic feel.
3. Your
live shows are described as immersive and theatrical. How important is the
visual element compared to the music, and how do you balance the two?
The visual
aspect is just as important as the music. We want you to have an
experience when you come to a Horror Scene show. We typically lay out our
live performances during rehearsals. It has to coincide with the set list
we have for that specific show.
4. Touring
with acts like Soulfly must have been intense—what did you learn from those
experiences, and how did they shape your performance style?
Touring with
Soulfly was amazing. They welcomed us with open arms and we were very
thankful for that. We learned a lot while on tour that was very
valuable. it shaped us to be the band that we are today.
5. Your
sound blends industrial metal, gothic rock, and metalcore. How do you ensure
these influences come together cohesively without losing your identity?
It takes a
lot of work. We have to make sure that what we are writing comes together
cohesively and fits who we are.
6. Working
with producer Daniel Malsch seems to have played a big role in refining your
sound. What did he bring out in Horror Scene that wasn’t there before?
Dan is
fantastic. He and AJ really helped us push our boundaries and made us
better as musicians.
7. Your
upcoming single “Porn Star” pushes provocative themes
alongside horror aesthetics. What message or feeling were you aiming to evoke
with this track?
This track is going to definitely push some buttons and that
is what we are really going for. The song is also more about obsession,
being fake and vanity.
8. Featuring
Ariana Troni on the new single adds another dimension—how did that
collaboration come about, and what did she bring to the song?
Ariana is a
phenomenal vocalist. We have known her for some time and loved her
style of vocals. She brought a feminine edge to our more aggressive
approach.
9. Your
lyrics explore obsession, dread, and the darker side of human nature. Do
you see your music as a form of catharsis—for yourselves or for your listeners?
We
believe it could be cathartic for everyone. Each song has a different
meaning for everyone that listens.
10. Horror
Scene feels like more than just a band—it’s almost a universe. What can fans
expect next as you continue to expand this world?
Horror Scene is just getting
started. Things are going to get more sinister and darker as we continue
down the rabbit hole.
