American Satan, a film starring Andy Biersack and Ben Bruce, is to hit cinema screens in early 2017.

Described as, “The rock & roll drama, thriller that our generation has been waiting for,” the movie focuses on a young rock band who quit college and relocate to the bright lights of the Sunset Strip to follow their dreams – where they make a pact with a mysterious stranger to guarantee them fame and wealth.

The American Satan synopsis explains: “Caught in the middle of a Faustian deal, their music and controversial altercations end up influencing society beyond anything this century has seen, but can they take back control of their destiny before it’s too late?”

The film is written by Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen, along with producer Matty Beckerman. Other notable cast members include Game Of Thrones star John Bradley, Sons Of Anarchy actor Mark Boone Jr and WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg.

Further release details will be revealed in due course.

Meanwhile, Bruce recently confirmed he’s repaired his friendship with estranged former bandmate Danny Worsnop – who departed Asking Alexandria last year. Last week, Bruce posted a studio shot of Worsnop sparking rumours of a possible collaboration.
