Singer DAVEY HAVOK makes time for GODKILLER
September 29th, 2009 by Gilbert Seah
During the recording of AFI’s new album CRASH LOVE, singer Davey Havok made time to travel across LA and record a dramatic voice-acting performance for the sci-fi, animated indie film GODKILLER. The two projects will cross paths in retail stores this Fall: after CRASH LOVE streets on September 29th, GODKILLER Part 1 will hit stores on October 6th.
Havok plays the film’s antagonist - a ‘fallen God’ named Dragos - alongside an eclectic, genre-star-studded ensemble cast featuring sci-horror legend Lance Henriksen (ALIENS), scream queens Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN 4, 5, I, II) & Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), horror hero Bill Moseley (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS), sci-fi starlet Nicki Clyne (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA), cult icon Lydia Lunch (Richard Kern’s HARDCORE), and singer Justin Pierre of MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK.
A post-nuke odyssey about a young boy venturing into the savage land of Outer City on a quest to find a new heart for his dying sister, GODKILLER was directed by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo (THREAT) based on the graphic novel he created with illustrator Anna Muckcracker.
The dark, unrated film pioneers a new style of animation called ‘illustrated-films,’ developed by Pizzolo with his producing partner, Emmy-winner Brian Giberson. Utilizing the comic book’s sequential illustrations, the filmmakers add 3D CGI, motion graphics, elaborate sound design, and dramatic voice performances for an edgy, sophisticated, intricately detailed new form of animation. Danielle Harris told iF Magazine “its more like moving art than animation, with very good writing.” Upcoming illustrated-films from Halo-8 include Tim Seeley’s LOADED BIBLE and James Farr’s XOMBIE: REANIMATED.
