Ice Nine Kills without horror would be like mac without cheese, pepper without salt, a lock without a key.. you get the picture. The horror-inspired metal band have just dropped their latest album, appropriately titled The Silver Scream: Final Cut – and it features thirteen (of course) killer tracks including four acoustic renditions of songs from previous release The Silver Scream and a cover of Michael Jackson's iconic Halloween anthem, Thriller.
The album also sees the band enlist some notable guest vocal performances including Matt Heafy (Trivium), Ari Lehman (the original Jason, Friday the 13th), Chelsea Talmadge (Stranger Things) and Sam Kubrick (grandson of Stanley Kubrick who famously directed The Shining).
If that's not enough, the band have also included a brand new track, Your Number's Up, paying homage to Wes Craven’s 1996 slasher masterpiece, Scream. Check it out below:
Vocalist and horror aficionado Spencer Charnas devoured horror films as a child, visiting his local video store and studying the covers of all the videotapes – and he still remembers vividly which art goes with which film.
So, in celebration of the band's new release and with spooky season upon us, we enlisted Spencer's expertise to find out which slasher films he recommends to ensure you have a truly bone-chiling Halloween.
Ice Nine Kill's The Silver Scream: Final Cut is out now via Fearless Records. In addition to the CD,The Silver Scream: Final Cut includes a DVD of the full-length feature horror film, The Silver Scream.
