Ice Nine Kills Tease New American Psycho Inspired Track ‘Hip To Be Scared’ Featuring Jacoby Shaddix

After three long and weird years, Ice Nine Kills is back! The horror themed band are setting up their next era. It seems that the band will be continuing the theme set from their previous album “The Silver Scream”. The teaser trailer for the track is an obvious reference to the classic horror film American Psycho. If the horror theme indeed continues, this will be their third album referencing horror media. The band has grown drastically since the release of their last album, so the hype around the new track is real. While some people (not myself) find gimmicks in the metal scene “cringe” there is no denying that Ice Nine Kills are one of the hottest bands in the scene right now.

A Modern Day American Psycho

Ice Nine Kills Featuring Jacoby Shaddix?

The teaser shows frontman Spencer Charnas dressed up like American Psycho’s, Patrick Bateman. Additionally, it seems that Jacoby Shaddix will play the role of Paul Allen in the music video. This suggests that the track will feature the nu-metal icon as a guest vocalist. Currently the track is known only as the abbreviation of H.T.B.S., but one fan on Reddit theorizes that the title may be a reference to the song Patrick Bateman plays in his apartment.

*Update* As this article was being published, a post by Octane revealed the real name of the track. Hip To Be Scared featuring Jacoby Shaddix will premier on SiriusXM Octane this Friday at 9am ET. It looks like Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach is confirmed to be lending his voice to the track.

Ice Nine Kills Makes Even Elvis Presley Sound Eerie

The Fearless Records band kept their fans busy with both a cover and a parody during quarantine. First the band released a haunting version of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love for Valentine’s Day. The unfittingly spooky video is embed below.

Jason’s Mom Has Got It Going On?

Next the band released their 2020 acoustic parody Jason’s Mom on streaming platforms just in time for Mother’s Day. The track is a horror themed parody of Fountains of Wayne’s (not Bowling For Soup’s!) iconic track Stacy’s Mom. The acoustic performance can be found below. Ice Nine Kills’ friends at Motionless In White also experimented frequently during quarantine. Now both bands are ready to take over the rest of 2021.

Despite these efforts during quarantine, fans are fiending for a new album full of original metalcore tracks. We can’t blame them either. Fortunately the wait is just about over.

Let us know in the comments if you are excited for the next chapter of Ice Nine Kills. I have a feeling the greatest story ever has yet to be told.

*Update* The name of the title has been found within the credits of the Hip To Be Scared single art. The album is titled The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood. We will report about the single and album this Friday.
