Ice Nine Kills - Topic

Ice Nine Kills spreads cavalier carnage with a knowing smile. Led by Spencer Charnas, the internationally acclaimed band blends extreme metal with melody, as evidenced by the densely catchy songs on their two breakthrough albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. There's the gold-certified single “A Grave Mistake”; “A Work of Art,” the official song from the highest-grossing unrated film ever, Terrifier 3; the arrestingly melodic “The Great Unknown”; “The Laugh Track,” a hilariously homicidal tribute to Jack Nicholson’s Joker; and “Twisting the Knife,” featuring Mckenna Grace, as heard over the closing credits in 2026’s Scream 7. They have toured with Slipknot and were handpicked by Metallica for the M72 World Tour. The INKverse boasts a series of cinematic music videos; mock “true crime” books; graphic novels; “Nightmare on the 9th” merch drops; and the annual Silver Scream Convention in Worcester, Massachusetts, not far from the North Shore birthplace of Ice Nine Kills.     The horror community Spencer loves has embraced his band in return, as evidenced by collaborations with major franchises and a presence at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. 2025 closed with a headlining performance at Ovo Arena Wembley and the first Silver Scream Con London.    2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Ice Nine Kills' first album. “Twisting the Knife” is another bloody step forward, foreshadowing INK’s most devilish surprises to come.
