Horror-inspired theatrical metal outfit ICE NINE KILLS continue to spread their captivating brand of terror throughout the ‘horror-day’ season as they gift fans with a free, online +/or mobile multi-level video game Merry Axe-Mas developed by Mungo Creative Group. Inspired by the 80’s-themed music video for their single “Merry Axe-Mas” (featured on THE SILVER SCREAM [2018] and THE SILVER SCREAM: FINAL CUT [2020]), the game 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.
Along with the game, ICE NINE KILLS have recorded exclusive messages and specials deals 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).

ICE NINE KILLS spent the majority of 2019 on headlining runs including “THE SILVER SCREAM World Tour” and SIRIUSXM OCTANE PRESENTS‘ “THE OCTANE ACCELERATOR TOUR“–the latter of which moved over 26,400 tickets, with the majority of shows sold-out. The band also hosted special performances curated to the horror community, including an acoustic set at the infamous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, and opening at Screamfest LA sold-out screenings for various horror films of which their songs draw influence.
2019 saw ICE NINE KILLS make career history as their hit single “A Grave Mistake” landed in the Top 10 Active Radio Rock charts. The year also saw the October 25 release of THE SILVER SCREAM: FINAL CUT, the deluxe version of their critically acclaimed 2018 album via Fearless Records/Concord,which included acoustic renderings of previous album singles; 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.
Ending the year with inclusions in high-profile industry lists–including “A Grave Mistake” placing at #40 on Billboard’s Top 50 Mainstream Rock Songs and “Savages” landing at#4 on SIRIUSXM OCTANE’s Big Un’s list–ICE NINE KILLS will continue to instill horror worldwide as they have announced a European tour from February 16 to March 18, 2020in support of Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead, followed by a Spring 2020 arena tour across the U.S. with Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach and I Prevail from April 7 to May 20.
