Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills: my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was already obsessed with <em>Halloween<\/em> and <em>Friday The 13th<\/em>, but <em>Scream<\/em> was the first I saw in theatres. Hearing the killer talk about horror movies, in that distinctively pop-culture savvy [writer\/director] Kevin Williamson way, blew my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mckenna Grace, who also leads her own music career as an alt-pop singer, adds: \u201cMaking this song was such a special experience for me: I am such a big INK fan and it was such an amazing opportunity to be able to play with a different style of music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so inspired by [<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/artist\/evanescence\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/artist\/evanescence\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"\/artist\/evanescence\">Evanescence<\/a> singer] Amy Lee\u2019s vocals and we all wanted to channel <em>Scream<\/em> and Sydney [Campbell, protagonist]\u2019s story as best as we could. Spencer and the guys were so much fun to collaborate with and I\u2019m so thankful to Kevin Williamson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with <em>Metal Hammer<\/em> earlier this year, Charnas teased Ice Nine Kills\u2019 involvement in <em>Scream 7<\/em>, saying that the band were lending their music to a \u201cstraight horror movie\u201d. He also let slip that they have another theatrical collaboration and a spot on a videogame soundtrack in the pipeline, as well as their own feature film, <em>The Slashin\u2019 Of The Christ<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-EWTotwhT5ak2oogvpQrMQ7\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-EWTotwhT5ak2oogvpQrMQ7 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up below to get the latest from Metal Hammer, plus exclusive special offers, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOne borders on a thriller-action movie, one is straight horror, and the videogame is on the darker side of things,\u201d said Charnas. \u201cThese are songs that have never been heard. One is actually just a fun musical cue, I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re going to flesh it out into a full song, but one or two of these songs will be on the new album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if these things sounded like traditional Ice Nine Kills, he continued: \u201cThat one song cue, it doesn\u2019t like anything we\u2019ve ever done. It was so fun to do that it might inform a song that ends up on the record. I\u2019ll leave it at this: it\u2019s very 80s. A lot of bands pull from the 80s and there\u2019s synthwave stuff, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about. It\u2019s something rock\u2019n\u2019roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>The Slashin\u2019 Of The Christ<\/em>, the project has no release date yet, but Charnas <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/ice-nine-kills-finish-writing-film-slashin-of-the-christ-2025\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/ice-nine-kills-finish-writing-film-slashin-of-the-christ-2025\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/ice-nine-kills-finish-writing-film-slashin-of-the-christ-2025\">said the script was finished and that the search for a director was underway<\/a>. Regarding the tone of the film, he said: \u201cLike everything we do, there\u2019s horror, there\u2019s violence, but there\u2019s a wink to the camera. We\u2019re not taking ourselves too seriously, and I think the world needs a movie like this. I think that it might be like <em>The Exorcist<\/em>, which was touted by the Catholic Church because it showed on-screen what they\u2019ve been talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On top of everything else, Ice Nine Kills hope to release their next studio album, the follow-up to 2021\u2019s <em>Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood<\/em>, this year. Their recent singles <em>A Work Of Art<\/em>, <em>The Great Unknown<\/em> and <em>The Laugh Track<\/em> will be on the tracklisting. The music video for <em>The Laugh Track<\/em> featured Matthew Lillard, who starred in the original 1996 <em>Scream<\/em> film and is returning to the franchise in <em>Scream 7<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scream 7<\/em> will hit theatre screens on February 27. As well as <em>Twisting The Knife<\/em>, the soundtrack features <em>Rearranging Scars<\/em>, an original song by US emo-rapper Sueco.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video youtube-facade\"
