American Murder Song

American Murder Song (sometimes abbreviated AMS) is an American musical act founded in 2016 by cult film composers and performers Terrance Zdunich and Saar Hendelman. The project uses the murder ballad genre to explore American history, especially 19th-century America. In American Murder Song, Saar and Terrance play the role of roguish balladeers Mister Storm and Mister Tender who make a pact with the Bible's Cain to chronicle the tales of killers, known as Survivors, who bear The Mark, an American Mark of Cain. By way of live shows, music videos and albums, American Murder Song has so far explored 1816, also known as "The Year Without a Summer", The Donner Party's deadly journey of 1846 and "The Killing Place", a metaphoric house of Cain where all murder ballads reside.
