The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood is one of Ice Nine Kills’ most successful albums yet. It was released October 15th, 2022 and the phenomenal album scored the bands first Top 20 position (#18) on Billboard top 200. It also topped Digital and Current Hard Music charts, hit top 5 on Current Rock, Independent, Creative Albums and Album Sales charts. The album has clocked up 137 million streams up to date and 13 million YouTube views for tracks such as “Hip To Be Scared”, “Assault & Batteries”, “Rainy Day”, “Funeral Derangements”, “Take Your Pick”, “The Shower Scene” and most recently “Welcome to Horrorwood”.
The deviously insane Ice Nine Kills celebrates pop culture's darkest elements, especially when it comes to the grimest and goriest horror movies that we all know and love. In 2018 the band released The Silver Scream, where every song is about a horror movie. The album spawned the Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “A Grave Mistake” (The Crow), Top 20 hit “Savages” (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and fan favorites “Stabbing In The Dark” (Halloween) and “The American Nightmare”. They also released a deluxe edition of the album, The Silver Scream (FINAL CUT), which gave us “Your Number’s Up” (Scream), “Thriller” (Micheal Jackson cover) and 3 acoustic versions of tracks on the original album. The idea of them dwelling into pop culture horror began when they released the Top 5 Hard Rock Album, Every Trick In The Book. The album is based on horror books and gave us some beloved tracks including “Communion Of The Cursed” (The Exorcist).
After the phenomenal success of The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, Ice Nine Kills have grown tremendously. Throughout 2022 they went on the 3 legs of Trinity of Terror, the highly successful and almost sold out triple headliner tour with Motionless In White and Black Veil Brides. They also supported Metallica at US stadium shows, toured the US with Slipknot and launched their very own horror convention, The Silver Scream Con.
The band is made up of Spencer Charnas (vocals), Dan Sugarman (guitar), Ricky Armellino (guitar), Joe Occhiuti (bass) and Patrick Galante (drums). The band has created a thrilling world for the fans through their theatrical live performance and high-concept music videos. Their creativity went as far as creating a video game “Merry Axe-Mas”, which won the Clio Award for Music Marketing. The Silver Scream was nominated for last year’s Horror Hound Film Festival Awards in categories Judges Choice, Best Sound, Best Supporting Performance, Best Cinematography and Best Feature. With over 1.75 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 717 million career streams and over 204 million views on YouTube, the band has been deemed as one of metal’s most vicious forces.
