Concept Cafes has officially launched their latest collaboration featuring American metalcore band, Ice Nine Kills. Like the undead slashers celebrated in their songs, the aptly titled coffee, “Sip to be Scared” pays homage to the band’s latest release, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood.
Concept Cafes says “as huge fans of the band we are thrilled to partner with Spencer who is as adamant and dedicated as we are when it comes to creating an immersive fan experience that is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece for fans and coffee drinkers everywhere. It’s always a mixture of excitement and confidence for everyone when a new coffee collab drops, because when that wow factor resonates with the fans after first sip and confirms their expectation that this is NOT just some brand gimmick using sh*t shelf coffee, it’s just more confirmation for us that we are playing some small role in helping change the perception and misconception that coffee collabs just taste like sh*t. So much hard work goes into these concepts; and at the end of the day, we’re just fans ourselves, so we expect nothing short of an epic experience. Like we always say…we let the packaging do the walking and the coffee do the talking…? ”
The “Sip to be Scared” coffee description reads: This tasty alibi showers your palate in chocolate sorbet, berry spritzers at Flutie’s, & candied nuts at Nell’s…and if you’re either a INK or American Psycho fan you’ll savor in the reference(s).
Kept under studio-security wraps for quite some time, Ice Nine Kills had only recently dropped some teasers at the ever-popular annual Silver Scream horror convention and the Spookala convention. This past weekend they premiered this insane coffee experience with the fans at famed horror convention Spooky Empire – The Dark Side of Comic Conin Orlando, FL with their collab partner Concept Cafes. The coffee is available now in the Concept Cafes e-store to ship fresh directly to fans around the world.

About Ice Nine Kills
Ice Nine Kills spread cavalier carnage with a knowing smile, as evidenced by the densely catchy songs on their pair of breakthrough albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. The INKverse boasts a series of high-concept, cinematic videos; the Psychos Only club; a mock “true crime” book; the Inked in Blood graphic novels; monthly “Nightmare on the 9th” merch drops; and the annual INK-curated Silver Scream Convention weekends. In 2024, Silver Scream Con moved into the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts – not far from the North Shore birthplace of Ice Nine Kills. Led by Spencer Charnas, the internationally acclaimed band (who mix extreme metal with melody) toured with Slipknot in 2022 and was handpicked by Metallica for the M72 World Tour in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The horror community Spencer grew up loving has embraced his band in return. INK’s “A Work of Art” plays in 2024’s Terrifier 3, now the highest-grossing unrated film ever.
