ICE NINE KILLS have released a brand new music video!
The video, for the track The Laugh Track, is the latest cinematic entry from the horror-themed metalcore band and follows on from their previous single, The Great Unknown, which was released back in July.
Inspired by Gotham City’s Clown Prince of Crime, the song and video pay homage to the Joker – particularly Jack Nicholson’s portrayal in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989). The video welcomes Matthew Lillard (Scream, Five Nights at Freddy’s, SLC Punk) and Phil Morris (Seinfeld, Smallville, Doom Patrol) to the ever-expanding INKverse, alongside returning collaborator Terry Kiser (Weekend at Bernie’s, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood).
Speaking about the new song, frontman Spencer Charnas shares, “why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh? After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton‘s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince of Crime. The Laugh Track is our homage to Tim Burton‘s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham. Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded, and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in ICE NINE KILLS, with broad, maniacal smiles.
Terry Kiser returns in the video (although the rumours of Miles‘ demise are exaggerated). And it brings a warm human smile to my face to introduce Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris to the INKverse. Like PRINCE before us, The Laugh Track will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.”
