I am a huge fan of horror movies myself and it comes to say that I was super impressed; it felt like I was living in the actual movie. Usually for most songs that Ice Nine Kills does, they release music videos for some songs off the record, which build up a crime scene board; framing Spencer Charnas as the psycho killer. In this album as a whole, fans are able to hear featured artists such as Ryan Kirby from Fit for a King as well as George Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse and lastly Brandon Saller from Atreyu. Overall, a beautiful masterpiece and cannot wait for what’s to come in future releases.
As part of the Kiss Of Death Tour, ICE NINE KILLS will co-headline with In This Moment and be supported by Avatar and New Year's Day. For ICE NINE KILLS, the 18-date US tour caps off an incredible 18 months of touring, including three sold-out legs of the hugely successful triple co-headliner ‘Trinity of Terror’ tour with Motionless In White and Black Veil Brides. Among their accomplishments are a plethora of headline shows in the US and Europe, numerous festival appearances, a tour with Falling In Reverse on the Popular Monstour tour and huge support slots for bands like Metallica and Slipknot. Not to mention the release of The Silver Scream novel - written by Bayonet Award-winning television reporter Roy Merkin, this book provides the only comprehensive account of the notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer Spencer Charnas.

Ice Nine Kills is known for their terrifying, theatrical, psychotic appearance in both their performance as well as their studio work. Ice Nine Kills is composed of members such as Spencer Charnas (vocals), Dan Sugarman (Murder Axe Slayer/ lead guitarist), Ricky Armellino (rhythm guitarist), Joe Occhiuti (bass) and lastly Patrick Galante (drums). Ice Nine Kills celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on 2018’s The Silver Scream which spawned Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “A Grave Mistake” and Top 20 hit “Savages”. With the Top 5 Hard Rock album Every Trick in the Book in 2021, the creative marriage between music and fiction began in earnest, taking the themes of the previous three records to new heights, which was then perfected on the chart-topping smash hit 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood.'
As a result of the phenomenal success of this album, Ice Nine Kills achieved their first Top 20 (#18) position on the Billboard Top 200, topped the Digital Chart and the Current Hard Music Chart, hit Top 5 on the Current Rock, Independent, Current Albums and Album Sales charts, and has clocked up 177 million cross-platform streams. and 15 million YouTube views for singles “Hip To Be Scared”, “Assault & Batteries”, “Rainy Day”, "Funeral Derangements", "Take Your Pick", "The Shower Scene" and most recently, "Welcome To Horrorwood".
The first half of 2023 has been just as insane. A Spencer-recommended easter egg was included in the band's flier in Scream 6 along with Spencer's appearance in the music video for Demi Lovato's "Still Alive". It has been a busy year for the band since joining Metallica on their M72 World Tour, they have sold out numerous shows on their Wurst Vacation European tour, played to huge crowds at festivals like Download, and are currently on a tour with Falling In Reverse on the Popular Monstour. As part of the Kiss of Death co-headline tour with In This Moment, the band will also embark on their 'Fear The Premiere' US headline tour in August, followed by the second Silver Scream Con in September.
Music and lifestyle are synergistically matched by the band, drawing comparisons with Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Known for their theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion, Ice Nine Kills have built a fascinating world for a growing legion of devoted fans. In addition to receiving the prestigious Clio Award for Music Marketing, their "Merry Axe-mas' ' mobile game and live streaming event from October 2020 have become wildly creative. Last year, The Silver Scream was nominated for five awards at Horror Hound Film Festival Awards including Judges Choice, Best Sound, Best Supporting Performance, Best Cinematography, and Best Feature. With over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 717 million career streams to date and over 204 million views on YouTube the band are firmly cemented as one of modern metal's most vicious forces.
