Ice Nine Kills
The horror-loving metal outfit Ice Nine Kills combines intense metalcore aggression with a theatrical flair inspired by classic horror films and the occult. Hailing from Boston, they debuted in the early 2000s, switching styles before focusing on a melodic hardcore sound that helped push their breakthrough 2015 LP Every Trick in the Book onto the Billboard 200. They continued to see chart success with ghoulish subsequent efforts, The Silver Scream (2018) and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood (2021). In 2024, the band released "A Work of Art," the lead single from the forthcoming Silver Scream 3.
Taking their name from ice-nine, the world-ending substance at the heart of Kurt Vonnegut's classic novel Cat's Cradle, Ice Nine spent their early days rotating through both members and styles at an impressive clip, dabbling in ska-punk and post-hardcore on the self-released album The Pop-Punk Ska Years (2002). They lengthened their name to Ice Nine Kills for 2006's Last Chance to Make Amends (2006) before settling on a more stable lineup in 2009 featuring singer Spencer Charnas (the band's only founding member), guitarists Justin deBlieck and Justin Morrow, bassist Shane Bisnett, and drummer Conor Sullivan. This lineup would shift the band in a heavier, more metal direction with 2010's Safe Is Just a Shadow, which was released on Ferret Music. Bisnett eventually parted ways with Ice Nine Kills in 2011, with Steve Koch stepping in to replace him on tours with bands like the Word Alive and Issues. The Predator EP followed in 2013.
In late 2015, Ice Nine Kills signed with Fearless Records and issued their breakthrough effort, Every Trick in the Book, the band's fourth studio LP and first showing on the Billboard 200. In the midst of unrelenting touring, the band issued a re-recorded version of 2010's Safe Is Just a Shadow and a handful of singles, including "Nature of the Beast" and a cover of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever." In 2018, Sullivan parted ways with the group, reducing Ice Nine Kills to a core creative trio. Soon after, they kicked off their next album cycle with the release of "The American Nightmare," which was inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street. That theme would inform their fifth album, The Silver Scream, which found them fully embracing their passion for horror classics by crafting 13 tracks inspired by 13 movies, such as Friday the 13th ("Thank God It's Friday"), Saw ("The Jig Is Up"), and The Shining ("Enjoy Your Slay"). The set debuted in the Top Five of the U.S. Hard Music and Rock charts, rising into the Top 30 of the Billboard 200. Two years later, the band issued the concert LP I Heard They KILL Live!! 2021 saw the release of the band's sixth studio effort, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, which once again looked to classic horror films for inspiration, and featured guest spots from Jacoby Shaddix, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, and Brandon Saller, among others. In 2024, the band contributed the single "A Work of Art" to the gruesome horror film Terrifier 3. Inspired by the film's main character Art the Clown and featuring a guest spot from System of a Down's Shavo Odadjian, the song appeared on the band's upcoming Silver Scream 3 LP.
