Ice Nine Kills have announced a November 09th release date for their new Christmas album, “A Very Vicious Christmas“. That effort will compile the Christmas/horror-themed tracks the horror-loving metalcore band contributed to this year’s ‘Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights‘ attraction themed around the ‘Terrifier‘ franchise. Ice Nine Kills have been involved with that franchise in recent years, contributing music and adapting the series’ murderous star Art The Clown into their live shows and imagery.
Update: October 05th 2026 11:43am:
Ice Nine Kills vocalist Spencer Charnas said of this EP:
“The Ice Nine Kills ‘A Very Vicious Christmas‘ EP is our early holiday gift to you all. When tasked with creating a musical accompaniment for Art The Clown‘s assault on the ‘Terror Tram‘, we immediately understood the assignment. Art loves Christmas. Who better to distastefully dismember some Christmas classics than Ice Nine Kills?
With lyrics like oh what fun it is to die in a one hearse open slay’ and he’ll grind your limbs like sausage meat,’ we weren’t sure we’d find a children’s choir whose parents would approve, but thankfully the spirit of the season prevailed.
We’re forever honored that ‘Terrifier‘ writer/director Damien Leone, producer Phil Falcone and team invited us into their sandbox of bloodshed.
Halloween Horror Nights is one of our favorite destinations, and this year it’s sounding even more festive.”
In other news, at the past weekend’s ‘Silver Scream Con V‘ in Worcester, MA, the band also announced that 2027 will see the release of their next studio album “Silver Scream 3: Every Flick In The Book“. You can pre-save “A Very Vicious Christmas” now via link.iceninekills.com/avvxmas.
