(Radio.com) This season of American Horror Story: Freakshow has been chock full of unexpected cover versions of classic rock songs, with the most recent episode delving into the early '90s grunge years with a take on Nirvana's 1992 single, "Come As You Are."

Originally found on the band's legendary Nevermind album, the track was performed by Freakshow cast member Evan Peters during a customarily bizarre sequence that finds actor Michael Chiklis beating up a bartender and Jessica Lange serving up quite the scary face.

This take on Nirvana joins previous Freakshow versions of songs by David Bowie ("Life on Mars"), Lana Del Rey ("Gods and Monsters") and Fiona Apple ("Criminal"). According to EW, next on the docket is Kathy Bates offering up what's sure to be an interesting take on Hole's "Doll Parts."

"We decided we only were going to highlight musical artists who at some point in their career had identified themselves as feeling like freaks or misfits or outcasts, which our people are going through," said the show's creator and writer, Ryan Murphy.
