I Rock – Ice Nine Kills

Ice Nine Kills spreads cavalier carnage with a knowing smile, as evidenced by the densely catchy songs on their two breakthrough albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, including the gold-certified single “A Grave Mistake”; “A Work of Art,” the official song from the highest-grossing unrated film ever, Terrifier 3; and adrenaline-fueled epic “The Great Unknown.” The INKverse boasts a series of high-concept, cinematic videos; the Psychos Only club; a mock “true crime” book; the Inked in Blood graphic novels; monthly “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. Led by Spencer Charnas, the internationally acclaimed band mixes extreme metal with melody. They’ve toured with Slipknot and were handpicked by Metallica for the M72 World Tour (2022 – 2025). The horror community Spencer grew up loving has embraced his band in return. In 2025, Spencer launched the Pretty Evil personal care line and revealed he’s co-written, with Paul Soter (Super Troopers), The Slashin’ of the Christ, the forthcoming feature film produced by Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and Brian Witten (Final Destination). This was all in the run-up to the ambitious and infectious “The Great Unknown,” a Matrix-inspired single and Ice Nine Kills’ first new music since Charnas was possibly, controversially, replaced by an AI imposter.
