Single 2015 on Napalm Records label
Rock (Heavy Metal, Thrash)
If there's ever an example of a song with an unusual life, it's this one. Originally recorded as the title track for Product of Hate's 2010 "The Unholy Manipulator EP," this is one of two tracks from that independently-released effort to be cherry-picked by Napalm Records to be re-worked for inclusion on their 2016 full-length debut album, "Buried in Violence." Of note with "Unholy Manipulator" is that it had already become a Halloween-season staple by its official single release in 2015, all due to an ambitious longform music video that the band originally released back in 2012. The short film, directed/edited by James Zahn (The Rock Father) was produced by legendary visual FX artist Robert Kurtzman (Wishmaster, From Dusk Til Dawn) and starred actress Ashley Laurence (of the HELLRAISER films and Slipknot's "Snuff") as the title character. Additionally, several members of the crew would go onto success on SYFY's Face Off competition series, and the "Unholy Manipulator" music video would receive a big-screen theatrical premiere at Chicago's Portage Theatre, later making both its online premiere and Napalm Records "re-premiere" via leading horror genre website, Bloody-Disgusting. The video has also made occasional film festival appearances in the years since.
