Referencing Kurt Vonnegut’s apocalyptic novel, “Cat’s Cradle,” Ice Nine Kills deliver a brutal, potent brand of metalcore that certainly lives up to the theme of Vonnegut’s classic. Formed in high school in 2006, after preliminary lineup changes, Ice Nine Kills settled on Spencer Charnas (vocals), Justin deBlieck (guitar/vocals), Justin Morrow (guitars/bass) and Conor Sullivan (drums). Their early music looked to pop punk, ska and post hardcore for influence, releasing an early album in 2006, “Last Chance to Make Amends.” After the album, the band reshuffled and forged a more heavier sound, after they settled on their new lineup in 2007.
In 2007, their first EP arrived, titled “The Burning,” on Red Blue Records. The success of this first release landed them several high profile support slots with the likes of As I Lay Dying, A Day to Remember, Thursday and Paramore, shows which took them across North America.
Ice Nine Kills caught the attention of Ferret Records with their experimental metalcore, who signed the band to their roster in 2009. The band soon got to work on their second full-length, “Safe Is Just a Shadow,” which gained positive critical acclaim from a number of media outlets. The band then joined Warped Tour on several dates that year, before embarking on a headline tour in 2011. In 2012, they also gained a place on the All Stars Tour, opening for big names including Suicide Silence, Dance Gavin Dance and Attila.
Ice Nine Kills returned with new music in 2013, after releasing the EP, “The Predator.” The release was a hit, debuting at number nine on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. After another round on the All Stars Tour with Every Time I Die, they start work on their third album. The result was 2014’s “The Predator Becomes The Prey,” which scored the band their first entry on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, reaching number 153.
Avis
They put on a phenomenal show, playing mostly tracks from their new album The Silver Scream and previous one Every Trick in the Book. I had never been to the venue before, and hadn't realized it was a brand new venue. After entering, I was told to proceed down an unlit, black painted hallway to get my ticket from will call and it was very dark, kinda creepy. Will call was just a desk with a computer, and there was a lot of dust on the plaster ground around there, so I'm assuming the venue is still renovating at the moment.
My friend had let me know the liquor license hadn't arrived yet when she was there Saturday so she couldn't buy drinks, however we were able to yesterday night. My friends and I thought the mixed drinks were very strong. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. Upstairs was the merch area, which I thought was hard to notice as a sign wasn't posted about it. I found it when my friends wanted to head upstairs to use the indoor smoking room. The venue size itself was small, but I didn't mind because it made the show feel intimate, however the bar is very long, so some of the crowd was standing along the bar, instead of upfront near the stage. I look forward to seeing another show at this venue to see how it changes, due to the apparent renovations to the building.
Ice Nine Kills put on an incredible show. I expected nothing less from these creative, talented men. Spencer was just as vocally on point live as he is in the studio. Theatrics added to their perfect sound. This is the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing them live and I look forward to seeing them in a different venue in the future. I have seen well over a hundred shows in venues in Florida and other parts of the country. This was one of the worst visually designed venues I have ever been to. House of Blues in Orlando remains my favorite venue and I hope to see them there someday. If you have the opportunity to see this band live, I highly recommend it. You won't regret it.
Thank you, Ice Nine Kills for a spectacular show!
I saw Ice Nine Kills for the very first time in concert at the Scranton Warped Locale this summer (2014) Not only did they sound amazing live, but they fed off the crowd's energy and played especially for the crowd. At quite a few points, Spencer Charnas physically interacted with the crowd while still keeping a solid and strong hold on the songs he was singing. The set list itself was a perfect mix of older and newer songs in such a way that they catered to the newer and older fanbase. They were very humble between songs and I am very grateful that I got the chance to see such amazing talent and such wonderful human beings in action.
One of the best, if not the best, concerts I've been to. They went all out, dressed up to go with the themes of each song and were super dramatic with it, putting on an awesome show! They really pumped the audience up. Of course their vocals, instrumentals, everything is always super good live, but they really went all out this time I saw them. It was very good, and although they weren't the headliner, they had ample time to play many of their newer hits, and a very good, well known older song. I loved it! I totally recommend seeing them live, they won't disappoint.
Venue: The Varsity Theater was pretty awesome as far as sound, viewing and bar placement. The parking was terrible since the one close lot was full, we drove around the block for 30 minutes waiting for a parallel parking spot to open. The bathrooms were also “unique” with guys having 2 stalls and the girls having about 10 with no line.
The concert was great! Ice Nine Kills played many of their awesome songs and had so much energy it was contagious! Their backdrop and crowd interaction was on point. Definitely want to see them again soon!
INK is my perfect band. They blend both my favorite genres into one awesome experience and seeing it live just makes everything so much better. I love the energy they have on the stage when singing songs. They're all over the place and it's a joy to watch. The costumes as well really show how much they care for horror and it even works well in some acting parts (particularly IT is the End) Overall I've loved Ice Nine Kills ever since I found the Silver Scream and seeing them live was one of the best experiences I've had in a while.
Been an INK fan for a long time, and finally got to see them November 22 in Atlanta. Let me just say, THEY WERE AMAZING! Holy hell man. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Spencer has such a great stage personality, Ricky fits Spencer’s vocals well, and Dan and Joe are completely amazing. Saw Fit For A King, Light the Torch, and Awake at Last that night as well, and they were also amazing. Awake at last was ok, not amazing. But the other two were definitely worth it. 20/10 would go see INK again!
The whole line-up was great. Awake at Last started off the show with great engagement and Light the Torch absolutely destroyed!! Fit for a King played a metal set and Ice Nine Kills had an incredible performance! They played their Silver Scream album, but brought back Communion of the Cursed and Me, Myself, and Hyde, which fit perfectly into their set. The energy was high throughout the whole set and the show was amazing from start to finish. Definitely an experience I will not be forgetting.
I adored the show! The only two issues I had were I never received my vip merch and the venue. The one staff lady from Live Nation told me I couldn’t wear my Michael Myers mask or bring a prop (foam) knife. I have never had issues with that except last night. I wish there was a way for me to at least get the merch sent to me since I payed for vip but didn’t receive anything. I also hope that Spencer and the rest of the band got my burlap goody bags.
Even though it was a small event it was an amazing atmosphere. The band was great and I've never been to a gig like that before. It was cheap but in my opinion they could have charged more. The only problem was the price of the merch. £30 for a t-shirt and a t-shirt with sleeves was £50 wasn't willing to pay more than that so didn't find out the price for hoodies or jackets. But an amazing night out.
