Ice Nine Kills continue to spread holiday terror with the release of their new online and/or mobile video game called Merry Axe-Mas, which features three gruesome levels based on the storyline of the 1984 controversial slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night, one of vocalist Spencer Charnas’ all-time favorite horror films. The game was developed by Mungo Creative Group and inspired by the 80’s-themed music video for their single “Merry Axe-Mas.”
Along with the game, Ice Nine Kills recorded exclusive messages for their dedicated fans to receive as they join Saint Nick through each level, whether it’s jumping from chimney to chimney dropping sacks of decapitated heads in Santa’s Forgiveness (Level 1), attacking sled riders in Santa’s Forest (Level 2) or taking out carolers whack-a-mole style in Silence The Sinners (Level 3).
In 2019, Ice Nine Kills joined “The Silver Scream World Tour” and SiriusXM Octane Presents’ “The Octane Accelerator Tour” and hosted special performances. One of their performances was an acoustic set at the infamous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado and they also performed at Screamfest LA (sold-out) screenings for various horror films, where their songs draw influence. Earlier this year, Ice Nine Kills released new track and short film called “IT Is The End,” which pays homage to the classic horror novel IT by Stephen King. Charnas plays Pennywise the clown in the short film.
The band released The Silver Scream: Final Cut in October which is the deluxe version of their critically acclaimed 2018 album and includes a new track “Your Number’s Up”; a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”; and guest appearances from some of the horror and metal genre’s finest including Ari Lehman (the original Jason Voorhees from 1980’s Friday the 13th), Chelsea Tamridge (Stranger Things), Sam Kubrick (grandson of director Stanley Kubrick), Matt Heafy (Trivium) and more.
