One of the heaviest on the album, its addictive chorus and visceral verses makes for a crushing song. The next few songs run seamlessly into each other, as Ice Nine Kills make knocking out superb track after track sound effortless.įuneral Derangements is a Pet Semetary inspired track. It all gets very stabby in this Psycho inspired slower track. No homage to horror would be complete without The Shower Scene, a classic if ever there was. As if all that wasn’t enough, there is also a brilliant breakdown to behold. Based on the Childs Play franchise, this song mixes a well-known toy shop jingle and chilling children’s voices to great effect. Assault & Batteries could be described as one of the more surreal tracks on the album.
Jumping straight into the second track, A Rash Decision thrusts one of the catchiest choruses on the album – like a knife to the brain. Setting the scene for the rest of the album and the bar rather high. Asking the rather ominous question “Are you more bad than good?” this song makes great use of gang vocals and contains a gripping guitar solo. The first real track, Welcome To Horrorwood, brings listeners straight into the world of horror they have created.
Opening Night… is a spoken introduction explaining what we are about to hear – these records were previously suppressed and now brought to light. Visiting horror cinema classics in the form of Hostel, American Psycho, Cabin Fever, My Bloody Valentine and more may leave you asking “What’s your favourite scary movie?” The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood pays tribute to 13 of the most gruesome stories to have been shown on the big screen.
Ice Nine Kills have a great gift for making metalcore into a piece of theatre, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.
