Horror-loving metalcore band Ice Nine Kills have officially unveiled their new track “Twisting The Knife“. This latest tribute to the ‘Scream‘ franchise goes beyond the usual tribute playbook for the band, enlisting ‘Scream 7‘ star Mckenna Grace for a guest appearance. This song also plays during the end credits in that new entry in the slasher movie franchise, which will premiere on February 25th in Los Angeles, complete with the band in attendance. The film will have a wide release on February 27th.
Ice Nine Kills vocalist Spencer Charnas stated:
“‘Twisting The Knife‘ is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which mean so much to us. 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. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters.
In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie.”
