| ICE NINE KILLS will bring their collision of razor-edged heavy music, horror, and theatrical scale to Universal Studios Hollywood this fall with new music for Terror Tram starring Art the Clown at Halloween Horror Nights which opens Thursday 3rd September, and runs select nights through Sunday 1st November. Fans can purchase tickets HERE. The infamous Terror Tram returns with all-new host, Art the Clown in Terror Tram starring Art the Clown. When the demented killer arrives at the historic Universal backlot with his blood-soaked bag of presents, he realises it is too early for Christmas and hijacks the tram for his own holiday celebration. ICE NINE KILLS will create new music for the experience, putting a dark twist on classic Christmas songs. In addition, guests who think they escaped Art’s chaos on the backlot may find themselves encountering him throughout the theme park as he lurks in the most unsuspecting of places. The pairing brings ICE NINE KILLS back into Art’s orbit following ‘A Work of Art‘, their official song from Terrifier 3. Its blood-soaked music video debuted alongside the movie in theatres nationwide, while the track has run up nearly 60 million streams; it debuted at No. 3 and spent 18 weeks on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Speaking on today’s announcement, ICE NINE KILLS frontman Spencer Charnas shares:
“We are forever honoured that Terrifier writer/director Damien Leone and his team invited us to play in their sandbox of bloodshed. Art himself, David Howard Thornton, killed it in the ‘A Work of Art’ music video, and we’ve had Damien and several of his cast members at our Silver Scream Cons every year so far. Halloween Horror Nights is among our favourite destinations each season, and our fans love it, too. This is yet another natural step forward in our unnatural world of horror.” |

| ICE NINE KILLS have since carved through more of modern horror’s biggest worlds with ‘Twisting The Knife (feat. Mckenna Grace)‘, heard over the closing credits of Scream 7, ‘Hell or High Slaughter (Grave Diggler Pt. 2)‘ from Ready or Not 2: Here I Come and ‘Play Dead,’ created for Dead by Daylight’s 10th anniversary alongside an in-game ICE NINE KILLS Collection. That franchise streak has arrived alongside some of the biggest musical milestones of the band’s career. Their single ‘A Grave Mistake‘, inspired by The Crow, was officially certified Gold by the RIAA; ‘Twisting The Knife (feat. Mckenna Grace)’ became ICE NINE KILLS’ first No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The track also topped Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts and has garnered 35 million cross-platform streams to date. Now, twenty years after the release of their first album, ICE NINE KILLS will put a new soundtrack beneath the screams on Universal Studios Hollywood’s historic backlot, with Art the Clown in control and Christmas arriving very, very early. |
