The men of Ice Nine Kills are doing their part to help with recovery efforts from the fires that have devastated Australia.

The band is selling a new shirt whose sales will go to benefit those efforts.  A news release distributed Tuesday states that 100 percent of the shirts’ sales will benefit those recovery efforts.

Front man Spencer Charnas talked about the shirt’s sale in a statement featured in the release.

“Last month we were thrilled by the killer reception we received on our inaugural visit to Australia,” he said.  “In light of the recent events, we are donating all profits from this limited edition shirt to the Australian Wildfire Relief efforts.  Please consider picking one up and helping out our friends down under in this devastating time.”

The shirt is available for purchase at ink-merch.com.  According to information on the flyer for the shirt, this sale will run for only two days.

Ice Nine Kills has been busy touring in support of its recently re-issued album The Silver Scream (2018).  The band re-issued the album with five extra acoustic tracks on Oct. 25 through Fearless Records.  The group will continue its tour Feb 1 on the annual Shiprocked Cruise.

Once the cruise is done, the band will return to Europe to finish its run there before returning to the U.S. on April 10.  The band’s latest tour schedule is noted below. Tickets are available here.

Just last month, Ice Nine Kills debuted a playable three-level game based on its song ‘Merry Axe-Mas,’ which is featured in The Silver Scream and its re-issue.  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.

Along with ‘Merry Axe-Mas,’ The Silver Scream has also produced the singles ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ ‘Stabbing in the Dark,’ ‘A Grave Mistake‘ and ‘The American Nightmare,’ ‘Savages,’ and ‘Enjoy Your Slay‘.  The album’s recent re-issue saw the release of an acoustic take of ‘A Grave Mistake,’ ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ and ‘Stabbing in the Dark‘ as well as a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’

The full track listing for the new re-issue of The Silver Scream is noted below.

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.

INK’s ‘Silver Scream’ Re-Issue Is A Welcome Musical Reboot Of Its 2018 Album

Courtesy: Fearless Records

Ice Nine Kills has been in the news quite a bit lately.  The band debuted he video for its latest single ‘Savages’ this week, only a week after the band debuted its cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’  The band also announced recently, a new addition to its latest slate of live dates on Nov. 11 in Worcester, MA.  The band’s latest tour just launched Oct. 29 in Cleveland, OH and is scheduled to run through Dec. 1 in New York, NY.  All of these developments from the band are in support of the new re-issue of the band’s 2018 album The Silver Scream, The Silver Scream: Final Cut.  Released Oct. 25, this latest presentation of the band’s album is a step up from its source material.  That is due in part to the band’s cover of ‘Thriller,’ which is just one of six bonus tracks featured in the re-issue.  It is just one of the most notable of those songs, too, and will be discussed a little later.  The band’s fully acoustic performance of its own original ‘A Grave Mistake’ is yet another of the most notable of the re-issue’s additions.  It will be addressed shortly.  The record’s closer, which is a fully acoustic take of its original song ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ is notable in its own right, too.  It will also be discussed later.  All three songs noted here are important in their own way to the whole of the Silver Scream: Final Cut.  When they are considered along with the re-issue’s three other bonus tracks – an acoustic take of ‘Stabbing in the Dark,’ an acoustic take of ‘Savages’ and the previously unreleased tribute to Scream that is ‘Your Number’s Up’ – the whole of this record becomes a presentation that is one of the year’s top new music re-issues.

Ice Nine Kills’ new re-issue of its 2018 album The Silver Scream is one of this year’s top new album re-issues.  That is proven in part through the addition of the exclusive acoustic take of the band’s song ‘A Grave Mistake.’  Originally recorded earlier this year live on Sirius XM Radio, the song – which was inspired by the movie The Crow (which itself was inspired by the graphic novel of the same name) – develops its own new life and identity here.  That is due to the lack of the full on approach in the song’s electric take.  The decision to go only with the acoustic sound throughout gives the song a mournful feeling completely unlike that of its source material.  This is important to note because the full electric take does serve to illustrate the anger that Eric Draven felt when he came back to avenge his and his love’s murders.  This take though, touches more on the pain that led to that anger.  In turn, it gives the song (and story) even more depth than just the electric take by itself does.  To be honest, it actually is a better take than the song’s original, electric take because of this note, and will certainly become a favorite among the band’s audience base.  It is just one of the re-issue’s most notable works.  The band’s cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ is another work that is sure to become a fan favorite.

‘Thriller’ stands out because while the band does pay homage to Michael Jackson’s timeless work in terms of the song’s arrangement, the group also gives the song its own new identity here, too.  If anything, the band’s arrangement here almost instantly lends itself to a comparison to Alien Ant Farm’s take of Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal.’  That is meant in the most complimentary way possible.  It is nice to hear the combination of that tribute with the band’s own sound.  The band even pays tribute to the late, great Vincent Price through the addition of that spoken word portion of the song.  Given, nothing can ever top Jackson’s original take on the song, but this adaptation is still a work that listeners in general will enjoy for its own merits.  It is just one more of the works that audiences will enjoy here.  The band’s acoustic take of its original ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ is yet another addition to the album’s re-issue that audiences will appreciate.

The band’s acoustic take of its original ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ stands out because of its own arrangement.  Whereas the song’s original, full electric take is in intense, driving work, the song’s acoustic take is a much more engaging work.  That is because the minimalist approach here actually adds to the song’s ominous sense.  That is not to say that the song’s original arrangement is not foreboding and ominous.  Quite the opposite is the case there.  What is meant here is that that ominous, foreboding tone completely changes here in a positive fashion.  The group’s vocal approach changes with the song’s instrumental elements and adds even more to that tone.  In an odd way, the coupling of the song’s vocal and instrumental elements here illustrates even more, the sadness of the victims and almost makes Jason’s anger and fury understandable and worthy of sympathy, considering his death was caused by the counselors.  The end result of those deep feelings – thanks to the arrangement in whole – is a fitting finale for The Silver Scream: Final Cut and one more reason that audiences will appreciate the record.  When it is considered along with the band’s cover of ‘Thriller,’ its take of its original ‘A Grave Mistake’ and the other three bonus tracks that round out the record’s bonus content, the whole of the record proves itself one more of this year’s top new album re-issues.

Ice Nine Kills’ re-issue of its 2018 album The Silver Scream is a presentation that the band’s most devoted audiences will appreciate just as much as its more casual listeners.  That is due primarily to the bonus content featured in the record.  The six previously unreleased tracks featured in this re-issue give new life (no pun intended) to some of the songs featured in the album’s original release while also giving another song – Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ – its own scary good new presentation.  Yes, that awful pun was intended.  When the bonus content featured in this record are considered with the originals from the album’s original release, the whole becomes a presentation that is one of the year’s top new album re-issues.  It is available now.  More information on The Silver Scream: Final Cut is available online along with all of Ice Nine Kills’ latest news and more at:

Ice Nine Kills Debuts More Music From ‘The Silver Scream’ Final Cut; LP Re-Issue Available Now

Courtesy: Fearless Records

Ice Nine Kills debuted two more tracks from the brand new re-issue of its 2018 album The Silver Scream this week.

The band debuted the acoustic take of Michael Jackson’s hit song ‘Thriller‘ Friday.  The song presents an amped up take on the classic song, which featured a guest appearance by the late, great Vincent Price.  While Price is not featured in this exclusive to the brand new re-issue of The Silver Scream, the band does pay homage to him as well.

‘Thriller’ is just the latest song to be released from the re-issue of The Silver Scream.  The band debuted Thursday, the acoustic take of ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ which was featured in a much heavier version in the band’s 2018 album.  That performance features a guest appearance by Ari Lehamn, the actor who first portrayed Jason in the very first Friday The 13th movie way back in 1980.

Lehman talked about taking part in the song’s new recording in a recent interview.

“I am honored to be singing alongside the amazingly talented Spencer Charnas on this track,” he said.  “Ice Nine Kills will captivate you with their virtuoso sound and compelling lyrics.  ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ has Vorhees power!”

Ice Nine Kills front man Spencer Charnas said he was just as happy to have Lehman take part in the song’s new recording as Lehman was to take part.

“Friday The 13th and Jason have always been an obsession for me,” he said.  “When I had the idea to reach out to Ari about singing on our acoustic tribute, I never expected in a million years for it to actually happen.  To find out that Ari was not only a fan of INK, but 100% willing to join us on the track, was a moment I won’t soon forget.  He brings such a rich authenticity to this song with his charismatic voice, and his involvement helps elevate the piece to another level.  To hear the FIRST Jason from arguably one of the most iconic scenes in horror history sing the line, ‘He drowned in all our sins’ evokes the same goosebumps I got when I first saw the film.”

The band’s new take on ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ and its cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ are just the latest singles to be released from the brand new re-issue of The Silver Scream.  The band debuted the video for its acoustic take of ‘Stabbing in the Dark‘ Oct. 4.  The song featured a guest performance by Trivium front man Matt Heafy.

This past April, the band performed an acoustic take of ‘A Grave Mistake‘ live on Sirius XM.  That performance is also featured in this recording.

The original 2018 release of The Silver Scream produced the singles and videos for ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ ‘Stabbing in the Dark,’ ‘A Grave Mistake‘ and ‘The American Nightmare,’ ‘Savages,’ ‘Enjoy Your Slay‘ and ‘Merry Axe-mas.’

The full track listing for the new re-issue of The Silver Scream is noted below.

Ice Nine Kills Debuts Video for ‘Stabbing In The Dark’ Acoustic Take

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.

Ice Nine Kills Debuts ‘Savages’ Video; Announces New Live Dates

Ice Nine Kills debuted the video for its latest single this week.

The band debuted the video for its new single ‘Savages‘ Tuesday.  The song is taken from the band’s latest album The Silver Scream (2018).

The video features footage of the band performing its new single and crosses that footage with footage of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as the song was inspired by the movie.  It is just one of the movies that inspired the album’s works.  The album in whole is composed of songs inspired by famous horror movies, such as The Shining, Jaws and It.

‘Savages’ is just the latest single from The Silver Scream to receive the video treatment. The album has also produced the singles ‘The American Nightmare,’ ‘Thank God It’s Friday,’ ‘Stabbing in the Dark,’ ‘A Grave Mistake‘ ‘Enjoy Your Slay‘ and ‘Merry Axe-mas.’

While the band debuted the video for its new single this week, it also recently launched a new campaign to promote the next single from its album, the It-inspired ‘IT Is The End.’  The campaign sent fans on a scavenger hunt to find a red balloon.  The first five people to reach each location in the hunt received special prizes and a sneak peek of the video, which is planned for its debut soon.
