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 YouTube views for singlesHip 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 tour. During 2022 and throughout 2023 they supported Metallica in packed, sold-out stadiums around the world on their M72 World Tour. They toured the US with Slipknot and launched their enormously successful horror convention, The Silver Scream Con, which just celebrated it's second, sold-out edition in the fall of 2023. Spencer was featured in the music video for the official song from Scream 6 - Demi Lovato's "Still Alive", an Ice Nine Kills flyer was used in the movie which also featured a Spencer-recommended easter egg.

DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER - Present "Wilde Kinder – The Movie - Eine Gebrauchsanleitung zur Freiheit"!

Germany’s most spectacular band is Weimar’s DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER. The band whose name translates as “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” brandish a unique brand of melodic heaviness, accompanied by one-of-a-kind, intense lyrics. Since forming back in 1995, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER has remained innovative and courageous, delivering a form of extreme metal that is second to none. In the artistic realm of the Weimar-based quartet, there are no rules - anarchy, a free flow of ideas where vision reigns supreme!
With a highly supportive and engaged following at their side, they achieved #10 in Germany’s official charts with their album Der Rote Reiter. The band has played every major metal festival and countless fans have succumbed to “Reitermania” – which is the wild and crazy experience that only DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER can provide.

The band is currently getting ready to release Wilde Kinder (=“Wild Children”), their new album due out on April 22, 2022 - the official successor to Der Rote Reiter (2017)!

Today, they announce another huge project - their very own film "Wilde Kinder - The Movie - Eine Gebrauchsanleitung zur Freiheit" (="Wild Children - The Movie - A Guide To Freedom"), which true to the concept of their upcoming album explores how one can be truly free in these modern times.

How can one escape this collective madness? How can one live their best life without fear? And how can one record a new album despite all that chaos?

DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER strike a balance between hectic business and relaxation. Going back and forth between wanderlust, a sense of freedom, and professionalism.

On his journey into the deep, deep forest, singer Fuchs meets some quite remarkable personalities. People who are seeking a new start, or just want to leave behind their old life, depending on the point of view. But either way, all of them are wild children. Narrated with humor, the lines between musicians and dropouts blur.

Catch the movie's premiere on March 29th at 20:00 CET HERE

This movie is not built on clichés and requires total attention. But ideally, it will serve as a guide towards freedom.

First movie, production & direction: Fuchs (DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER)
Recently, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER presented their brand new single "Euer Gott Ist Der Tod" (= 'Your God Is Death'). A harbinger of the apocalypse – where death and darkness unite in an invincible alliance. An epic masterpiece! Centre stage as a shining angel amongst the pitch-black chaos is former DEADLOCK singer Sabine Scherer.
