Ice Nine Kills have sharpened their blades again, officially stepping into the world of Scream 7 with new single ‘Twisting The Knife’ featuring Mckenna Grace.
The track lands on the upcoming blockbuster’s official soundtrack ahead of its February 27th cinema release, marking a full-circle moment for a band that has built its empire on horror worship.
For Spencer Charnas, this one cuts deep:
“Twisting the Knife is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which means 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. Hearing the killer talk about horror movies, in that distinctively pop-culture savvy Kevin Williamson way, blew my mind.” (per press release)

Ice Nine Kills have long blurred the line between stage show and slasher flick, but this collaboration makes it official (not to forget ‘Your Numbers Up‘). The band announced it in typically theatrical fashion at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, staging the onstage “death” of Rose McGowan before a surprise video call from Ghostface.
“When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing,” Charnas says. “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.”
The accompanying video expands the INKverse once more, with Roger L. Jackson reprising Ghostface and appearances from David Arquette and more, check it out below:
