Massachusetts theatrical metalcore outfit Ice Nine Kills have announced the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s smash hit The Silver Scream. You can view the official video for lead single “Hip To Be Scared” featuring Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix below.
“Hip To Be Scared” serves as our first taste of The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood. Further, the track continues the group’s now-iconic movie homage writing style, with the track being based off horror classic American Psycho. Speaking on the new single and album, vocalist Spencer Charnas commented:
“True to horror franchise tradition, there is always a sequel…”Welcome To Horrorwood” 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 “real world” slaying. The only traces of the crime are 13 songs left behind by the suspected killer…
We can’t 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, “Horrorwood”.
The first stop on the tour is 1980’s New York City’s “greed is good” scene, where a certain hot shot investment banker has a rather violent dirty secret…”
The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood is due for release on October 15th via Fearless Records. You can find pre-orders here, and while no track listing is available as of yet, you can view the album’s official artwork below. For all things Ice Nine Kills and metalcore in general, keep it locked on Boolin Tunes, and check back in October for our full review of the album!
