From Lord Ahriman (Dark Funeral) Facebook:

Swedish black metal pioneers Dark Funeral announce that their song “Open The Gates” is featured in the motion picture Psycho Killer, now in theaters.

Psycho Killer is written by acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, 8MM), directed by Gavin Polone, and stars Georgina Campbell,
Dutchess Cayetano and Malcolm McDowell.

The inclusion of Dark Funeral marks a notable crossover between extreme metal and contemporary cinema, underscoring the band’s enduring cultural presence beyond the traditional boundaries of the genre.

Set against the backdrop of a relentless manhunt, the story follows a Kansas highway patrol officer drawn into the pursuit of a sadistic serial killer, uncovering a level of psychological darkness far beyond initial expectations.

Psycho Killer had its theatrical release in the United States on February 20th, 2026, with distribution handled by companies including 20th Century Studios.

European release dates are expected to follow closely via international partners.

For more than three decades, Dark Funeral has stood as a defining force within extreme metal. This feature further reinforces the band’s
continued relevance and expanding presence beyond the boundaries of the genre.

Lord Ahriman comments:
“Everyone knows how big of a horror movie fan I am, and I’m a huge fan of Se7en and 8MM, so to finally have one of our songs — even an older
one — find its way into a major horror film connected to Andrew Kevin Walker feels truly amazing. This is something I’ve hoped for for a long time, and I look forward to seeing more of our music on the silver screen in the years to come. I can’t wait to watch Psycho Killer myself.”

Dark Funeral are published by Reservoir and recorded under Century Media Records/Sony Music.

Ethan Henry comments:

“SEVERANCE MOUNTAIN came to life shortly after the pandemic. With all the restrictions and difficulties trying to make a film during that time, we wanted to get back at it but needed to keep our budget small and keep our cast and crew down to a minimum. Thanks to John Sovi II at Sovs Media for sparking the idea, I developed the concept for Severance Mountain with our restrictions in mind. I ended up rewriting the working script with Melissa Godin Hunt and started planning to film our independent, ultra-low-budget horror film. Even though our budget was small and it seemed near impossible to make at times, our determination to complete the film and make something we thought would be gross, familiar, and entertaining finally came to be. If you like indie horror, gore, and practical effects, then SEVERANCE MOUNTAIN is for you.”

SEVERANCE MOUNTAIN was released on September 13, 2024, and is available for streaming and download on Amazon, iTunes, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, and ROKU.
