Ice Nine Kills Share New Single With Jacoby Shaddix And Announce New Album

---

Horror based metalcore outfit Ice Nine Kills have announced their long-awaited sequel album ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood’, the news was announced last night at a totally sold-out fan event at the Mystic Museum in North Hollywood, CA.

The band have already unleashed a taste of the album with the first single ‘Hip To Be Scared’ featuring Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach. The release comes alongside an accompanying music video that was also premiered at the fan event last night. The video for the release pays homage to the landmark movie based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel ‘American Psycho’ centred around psychotic investment banker, Patrick Bateman.

The new song mixes soaring choruses, clever lyricism, heavy riffs, and Broadway-like theatrics that are as much ‘Hamilton’ as they are horror. The song also tips its hat to an ‘80s pop classic beloved by the murderous protagonist.

Check out ‘Hip To Be Scared’ featuring Jacoby Shaddix here:

“True to horror franchise tradition, there is always a sequel…” Ice Nine Kills frontman and driving creative force, Spencer Charnas shared. “‘Welcome To Horrorwood’ follows in the bloody footsteps of its predecessor, paying tribute to 13 more of the most gruesome tales to ever grace the silver screen. In this latest INK offering, the last album and video series is portrayed as a work of fiction. The new story line thrusts the band into a brutal “real world” slaying. The only traces of the crime are 13 songs left behind by the suspected killer…”

“We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you, and to welcome you to the sinister state of mind that will soon be known the world over as, ‘Horrorwood’. The first stop on the tour is 1980’s New York City’s “greed is good” scene, where a certain hot shot investment banker has a rather violent dirty secret…”

The new album sees the band return to producer and collaborator Drew Fulk (As I Lay Dying, A Day To Remember), who produced and mixed ‘The Silver Scream’.

Ice Nine Kills will return to the UK this September at Slam Dunk Festival, the band’s first UK shows in two years since their hugely successful, sold-out seven-date headline run in 2019, which concluded with a show-stopping performance at London’s O2 Academy Islington.
