ICE NINE KILLS
Ice Nine Kills, known for their bold and twisted approach to pop culture, draws inspiration from iconic horror films. Their 2018 album, “The Silver Scream”, produced the Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “A Grave Mistake” and the Top 20 hit “Savages.” They further refined their unique blend of music and storytelling with the Top 5 Hard Rock album “Every Trick in the Book” and the chart-topping “The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood”, which debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 200 and garnered 177 million streams and 15 million YouTube views for its singles.
Since the release of “The Silver Scream 2”, Ice Nine Kills has experienced remarkable growth. In 2022, they toured extensively across the US on The Trinity of Terror tour, supported Metallica on their M72 World Tour, and launched their horror convention, The Silver Scream Con, celebrating its second sold-out edition in fall 2023. Spencer appeared in Demi Lovato’s music video for “Still Alive” from “Scream 6”, which also featured an Ice Nine Kills flyer used in the movie which also featured a Spencer-recommended easter egg.
In spring 2023, they headlined sold-out shows on their Wurst Vacation European tour, received acclaim at Download Festival, and toured with Falling In Reverse. They concluded the year with “Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire”, a VIP event in Hollywood for the debut of their new single “Meat & Greet” and the premiere of the full “Welcome To Horrorwood Saga” films.
With comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie, Ice Nine Kills has created an engaging universe through theatrical performances and innovative fan interaction. Their efforts have earned them a Clio Award for Music Marketing and nominations at the 2022 Horror Hound Film Festival. With almost 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and 717 million career streams, they continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
