Theatrical, horror-themed metal masters ICE NINE KILLS have announced the deluxe edition of their chart-dominating 2021 album ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood’ today. Titled ‘Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire’, the expanded release arrives October 20th via Fearless Records and is packed with new and previously unheard versions of fan favourite cuts, an orchestral version of the album and collectible horror artefacts. Pre-order the deluxe 3LP box set now at HERE.
Expanding on ICE NINE KILLS’ signature fusion of blood-soaked metal and cinematic storytelling, ‘Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire’ includes the original album along with new single (more on this coming soon), two reimagined tracks, and physical extras encased in a flame-engulfed box set.
On the deluxe edition, frontman, leader and creative visionary, Spencer Charnas shares:
“Bigger, bloodier and more brutal! We’ve taken the ‘Silver Scream 2’ and literally set it ablaze! 'Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire', is our most ambitious and intricately designed piece of horror memorabilia yet. The 3D, flame-engulfed artwork comes to life through real illuminated lightbulbs built into the packaging, encasing a nightmarish collection including the original album, a new song, reimaginings of fan favorites and the whole album played by an orchestra. Not only that, it also comes with a wearable Silence mask straight out of our nightmarish cinematic universe and a death certificate of authenticity signed by yours truly. This boxset is the ultimate collectible for INK fans and one of the most intricate releases we’ve put out to date.”
‘The Silver Scream 2:Welcome To Horrorwood’ launched ICE NINE KILLS to new heights when it was released in 2021, topping charts and collecting over 339 million streams on the back of hits like “Hip To Be Scared”, “Assault & Batteries”, “Rainy Day”, "Funeral Derangements", "Take Your Pick", "The Shower Scene" and most recently, "Welcome To Horrorwood". Now the final chapter of the saga arrives in fittingly terrifying fashion with ‘Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire’ - the ultimate collectible for any self-respecting INK fan. Pre-order the deluxe 3LP box set now at HERE ahead of its October 20th release.
ICE NINE KILLS recently announced that they will end 2023 with a freshly sharpened ice pick through the temple, as they co-headline the Kiss Of Death Tour with In This Moment and support from Avatar and New Year’s Day. The 18-date US run will top off an incredible 18 months of touring for ICE NINE KILLS, that has included three sold-out legs of the enormously popular triple co-headline ‘Trinity of Terror’ tour with Motionless In White and Black Veil Brides, a plethora of headline shows across the US and Europe, multiple festival performances around the world, a US run with Falling In Reverse on their Popular Monstour tour and huge support slots for metal behemoths such as Metallica and Slipknot. Not to mention the release of The Silver Screamnovel - the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas written by Bayonet Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin.

The nightmare continues as these murdersome metal trailblazers prepare to unleash the most epic episode of the Silver Scream saga yet.
ABOUT ICE NINE KILLS
Decadent, devious and fiercely insane, Ice Nine Kills celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on 2018’s The Silver Scream which spawned Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “A Grave Mistake” and Top 20 hit “Savages”. The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Top 5 Hard Rock album, Every Trick in the Book, which brought the previous three records’ themes to new levels and which the band perfected on 2021's chart-topping smash hit ’The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood.’
The phenomenally successful album, released in October 2021, scored Ice Nine Kills their first Top 20 position (#18) on the Billboard Top 200, topped the Digital and Current Hard Music charts, hit Top 5 on the Current Rock, Independent, Current Albums and Album Sales charts and has clocked up 177 million cross-platform streams to date and 15 million YouTubeviews for singles “Hip To Be Scared”, “Assault & Batteries”, “Rainy Day”, "Funeral Derangements", "Take Your Pick", "The Shower Scene" and most recently, "Welcome To Horrorwood".
Since the release of 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood', Ice Nine Kills have seen phenomenal growth. Throughout 2022 they toured the US extensively on 3 legs of The Trinity of Terror, their hugely successful, mostly sold-out triple co-headline tour with Motionless In White and Black Veil Brides, supported Metallica at several US stadium shows, toured the US with Slipknot and launched the inaugural edition of their horror convention, The Silver Scream Con.
The first half of 2023 has been just as insane. The year began with Spencer being featured in the music video for the official song from Scream 6 - Demi Lovato's "Still Alive", as well as the band's flyer being used in the movie with a Spencer-recommended easter egg. Since the spring, the band have been touring the world with Metallica on their M72 World Tour, headlined numerous sold-out shows on their Wurst Vacation European tour, played to huge crowds at festivals such as Download and are currently touring the US with Falling In Reverse on their Popular Monstour run. The band also have their 'Fear The Premiere' US headline shows in August, followed by the second iteration of the Silver Scream Con coming in September and will be finishing the year on a high with the the Kiss of Death co-headline tour with In This Moment.
The band’s synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs, Ice Nine Kills have built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers, with theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion. Their wildly creative output has seen them become recipients of the prestigious Clio Award for Music Marketing for their "Merry Axe-mas" mobile game and their live streaming event from October 2020, The Silver Stream be nominated for 5 awards at last year's Horror Hound Film Festival Awards in the categories of Judges Choice, Best Sound, Best Supporting Performance, Best Cinematography and Best Feature. With over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 717 million career streams to date and over 204 million views on YouTube the band are firmly cemented as one of modern metal's most vicious forces.
