Ice Nine Kills :: Silver Scream Collection
As fans of all things horror, goth, and unapologetically dramatic, we live for the intersection of music, movies, and macabre fashion. If you haven’t already dived into Ice Nine Kills' Silver Scream Collection, consider this your official invitation into a symphony of screams and riffs that pair perfectly with black boots, blood-red lips, and a closet full of nightmares.
🧠 A Pleasant Shock to the System
I rediscovered Ice Nine Kills almost by accident. An older album had been lurking in my playlist, mostly ignored. But on a whim, I checked out their newer work and hit play on The Silver Scream Collection… and it hit hard. Think the theatrical drama of Avenged Sevenfold mixed with the aggressive edge of Bring Me the Horizon, all drenched in horror movie references and gore-soaked storytelling.
This isn’t just music. It’s cinematic metalcore crafted for horror geeks and goth romantics alike.
Every Track is a Slasher Film
Each song on the album is based on a classic horror movie. It’s like wearing a screen-printed nightmare on your shirt—but in sonic form. If you’ve ever worn one of our tees that turns heads and raises eyebrows, this album has the same effect.
Here are a few standout tracks and the iconic films that inspired them:
-
“It Is the End” – Based on IT
Pennywise never sounded so metal. Chaos, carnival madness, and unhinged vocals that feel like a trip into the sewers. -
“The American Nightmare” – Based on A Nightmare on Elm Street
This one’s for the dreamers and screamers. Freddy Krueger would be proud. -
“Stabbing in the Dark” – Based on Halloween
An ode to Michael Myers with haunting melodies and slashing guitars. -
“Savages” – Based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Brutal, dirty, and unrelenting—just like Leatherface himself. -
“The Shower Scene” – Based on Psycho
Creepy, catchy, and cutthroat. The perfect background music while designing something sinister. -
“Hip to Be Scared” – Based on American Psycho
Sharp lyrics, clean suits, and blood-red business cards. Bonus points for the music video. -
“Thank God It’s Friday” – Based on Friday the 13th
For Jason fans and camp counselors who never stood a chance.
If you're already into classic horror movies, Ice Nine Kills is your new favorite soundtrack.
