Ice Nine Kills debuted the video for its acoustic take of ‘Stabbing in the Dark‘ this week.
The band debuted the video Friday for the song, which is featured on the upcoming re-issue of the band’s 2018 album The Silver Scream. The video features a family watching the original video for ‘Stabbing in the Dark‘ on a black and white television in a very 1950s living room setting.

The acoustic take of ‘Stabbing in the Dark’ features guest vocals from Trivium front man Matt Heafy. Heafy talked about joining Ice Nine Kills for the recording during a recent interview, saying how happy he was to take part in the song’s re-imagining.
“Ice Nine Kills is one of the absolute best bands on the planet right now,” he said. “With their blend of styles and sounds and unique imagery, they’ve crafted a world entirely their own. Being such a big fan myself, I did an acoustic cover of ‘Stabbing in the Dark’ on my Twitch live one day. Next thing I knew, INK checked it out and dug it — which I was honored to hear. I can’t wait till the world hears this newly re-imagined version of this incredible song. Watch as INK takes the world over. Mark my words.”
INK front man Spencer Charnas responded to Heafy’s comments with his own positive remarks in a separate interview.
“We were devilishly delighted to find out that Matt was a fan of INK,” he said. “When we heard his chill-inducing cover of ‘Stabbing in the Dark’, we knew right then and there that we had to collaborate with him.”
He added, “We have enormous respect for Matt’s abilities, and are honored to have him be a part of this spooky, almost folk-like rendition of the song. He slaughtered this performance, and we can’t wait wait for people to hear it during our favorite month of the year.”
INK’s acoustic take of ‘Stabbing in the Dark’ with Matt Heafy is just one of the acoustic works featured in the band’s upcoming re-issue of The Silver Scream. The re-issue will also feature an acoustic performance of the song ‘A Grave Mistake,’ which the band recorded live on Sirius XM and a new take of ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ which features the original Jason actor Ari Lehman.
The re-issue’s track listing is noted below.
The original release of The Silver Scream spawned the singles and videos for ‘The American Nightmare,’ ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ ‘Stabbing in The Dark,’ ‘A Grave Mistake,’ ‘IT Is The End,’ ‘Enjoy Your Slay,’ ‘Merry Axe-Mas‘ and ‘Savages.’
