ICE NINE KILLS ANNOUNCE DEADLY NEW ALBUM THE SILVER SCREAM 2: WELCOME TO HORRORWOOD ON OCTOBER 15
FEARLESS RECORDS
At a totally sold-out fan event last week at the Mystic Museum in North Hollywood, CA, horror metal titans, Ice Nine Kills announced their long awaited sequel The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood. The fresh slice of horror-themed brutality will be released via Fearless Records on Friday, October 15th and can be pre-saved HERE.
The first single to be unleashed from the album is “Hip To Be Scared”, featuring Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach. The accompanying music video was premiered at the fan event last night and pays homage to the landmark movie based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel ‘American Psycho’ centered around psychotic investment banker, Patrick Bateman. “Hip To Be Scared” mixes the soaring choruses, clever lyricism, heavy riffs and Broadway-like theatrics that are as much ‘Hamilton’ as they are horror. The song also tips its hat to an β80s pop classic beloved by the murderous protagonist.
Speaking on his band’s newly announced album, Ice Nine Kills frontman and driving creative force, Spencer Charnas shared
βTrue to horror franchise tradition, there is always a sequelβ¦βWelcome To Horrorwoodβ follows in the bloody footsteps of its predecessor, paying tribute to 13 more of the most gruesome tales to ever grace the silver screen. In this latest INK offering, the last album and video series is portrayed as a work of fiction. The new story line thrusts the band into a brutal βreal worldβ slaying.
The only traces of the crime are 13 songs left behind by the suspected killerβ¦
We canβt wait to share this next chapter with you, and to welcome you to the sinister state of mind that will soon be known the world over as, βHorrorwoodβ.
The first stop on the tour is 1980βs New York Cityβs βgreed is goodβ scene, where a certain hot shot investment banker has a rather violent dirty secretβ¦β
A sequel of franchise proportions to the No. 1 Billboard Hard Rock Album ‘The Silver Scream’, βThe Silver Scream 2: ‘Welcome to Horrorwood’ doubles down in pursuit of the anthemic bandβs cinematic muse.
Decadent, devious, and fiercely insane, with sardonic wit to spare, Ice Nine Kills celebrate pop cultureβs darkest edges, mining a cinephile libraryβs worth of b-movie schlock and iconic horror on The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood and it’s prequel, ‘The Silver Scream’. The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Boston-based bandβs Top 5 Hard Rock album, ‘Every Trick in the Book’, which brought the previous three recordsβ themes to new levels with literary-immersed tracks.

Helpless teens, unhelpful authorities, supernatural forces, masked killers, and βfinal girlsβ abound in the shocking, blood-soaked songs of The Silver Scream. Each piece focused on a different horror classic, including βThe American Nightmareβ (A
Nightmare on Elm Street), βThank God Itβs Fridayβ (Friday the 13th), βStabbing in the Darkβ (Halloween), and βIt Is The Endβ
(It). For 2020βs ‘Undead & Unplugged: Live from the Overlook Hotel’ EP, the band recorded in the location used in Stanley Kubrickβs The Shining, the inspiration behind βEnjoy Your Slay,β featuring Kubrickβs grandson, Sam.
The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood saw guitarists Ricky Armellino and Dan Sugarman, bassist Joe Occhiuti, drummer Patrick Galante, and Charnas return to producer and collaborator Drew Fulk (As I Lay Dying, A Day To Remember), who produced and mixed ‘The Silver Scream’, which spawned Top 10 Mainstream Rock single βA Grave Mistakeβ and Top 20 hit βSavages.β
The bandβs synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie and saw them become recent recipients of the prestigious Clio Award for Music Marketing for their “Merry Axe-mas” mobile game. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs, INK built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers, with theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion. With 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 402 million career streams, a combined social media reach of over 950k, over 70 million views on YouTube, the band are firmly cemented as one of modern metal’s most vicious forces.
