Redefind Debuts New EP’s Lead Single, Video

Independent nu-metal act Redefind premiered its latest single and video this week.

The band debuted its new single, ‘This Is Fine‘ and the song’s companion video Friday. The song is featured in the band’s forthcoming EP, Audio Video Disco, which is scheduled for release April 21 through Godsize Records.

The song’s musical arrangement is immediately a nu-metal style composition, complete with the crunching down-tuned guitars and rapping. The song immediately lends itself to comparison to works from the likes of Hollywood Undead, Limp Bizkit, and (hed) p.e.

According to a statement from the band, the song’s lyrical theme is a commentary about the all too familiar topic of mental health.

“‘This Is Fine’ is a song for people who mask their emotions,” the statement reads. “A lot of us say we’re fine when we’re not; dying on the inside and smiling on the outside.”

The video for ‘This is Fine’ is its own familiar style presentation. It features the band in a studio setting dressed to look like a stage setting. The presentation is meant to mimic what the band looks and sounds like in a live setting.

The tour is scheduled to launch May 4 in Jacksonville, NC and to run through May 19 in Sioux Falls, SD.

Ice Nine Kills Unleashes ‘Merry Axe-Mas’ Video Game; Band To Continue Tour In 2020

Courtesy: Fearless Records

Ice Nine Kills is celebrating the holidays by giving its fans a very special gift.

The band has made available, the video game from the video for its single ‘Merry Axe-Mas.’  The band debuted the sing’es video Dec. 21, 2018. The single is taken from the band’s 2018 album The Silver Scream and is also featured on the album’s recent re-issue, subtitled The Final Cut.

The video game features three levels — Santa’s Forgiveness, Santa’s Forest and Silence The Sinners — through which Santa Claus wreaks some serious holiday havoc.  The video game and the song and video are all inspired by the controversial 1984 slasher flick Silent Night, Deadly Night, which is a favorite of INK front man Spencer Charnas.

Ice Nine Kills spent much of this year touring in support of its latest release The Silver Scream and its re-issue on the “Silver Scream World Tour” and “The Octane Accelerator Tour,” which was presented by Sirius XM.  The majority of the shows on that latter tour were sold out.

The band will continue its support of The Silver Scream well into the new year with a string of European dates in February and March.  That run will give way to another North American run that is scheduled to launch April 8 in Sunrise, FL and to run through May 20 in St. Paul, MN.  From there, the band will make its way to the United Kingdom for a brief stint there in late May.

Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, I Prevail and Hollywood Undead will join the band on several dates.  The bands’ current tour schedule is noted below.  Tickets are available here.
