AMERICAN HORROR STORY presents another striking performance piece!

On this week's episode of AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW, anthology regular Evan Peters performed a passionate cover of iconic grunge band Nirvana's hit "Come As You Are" in striking rocker fashion, which is now on iTunes, continuing the performance-centric theme of the season thus far, which has just been announced to include a performance by Kathy Bates on a Courtney Love/Hole tune, as well, coming up shortly.

Earlier this season, Jessica Lange treated viewers to a spectacularly theatrical cover of David Bowie's classic song "Life On Mars?" on the premiere episode of hit FX horror anthology series, followed up with a recent performance of Lana Del Rey's "Gods & Monsters" and Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson's "September Song". Also, co-star Sarah Paulson was showcased an impressive self duet set to Fiona Apple's "Criminal", as well.

Of note, in addition to the David Bowie, Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey and Kurt Weill performances, other announced upcoming cover songs on the series include those by Hole and the Rolling Stones.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Denis O'Hare, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Frances Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe, Evan Peters and Jaimie Brewer, with new cast members Michael Chiklis, Wes Bentley, Finn Wittrock and Patti LaBelle joining the ranks for the new season.

The official description of AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW is as follows: "American Horror Story: Freak Show begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience."
