“We all go a little mad sometimes“ – Norman Bates.
In ode to one of the most influential cinematic releases ever to grace the silver screen, Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’, overlords of Slashercore, Ice Nine Kills, have released the gruesome, cinematic music video accompaniment to their song, The Shower Scene.
Speaking on their new release, Ice Nine Kills frontman and creative visionary, Spencer Charnas shares: “While paying tribute to perhaps the most influential horror film of all time, Alfred Hitchcock’s, Psycho, we simultaneously continue the INK Horrorwood Saga we began exactly a year ago to the day. Will this be the end? Or is the next chapter just right around the cororner…”
The video For The Shower Scene stars Ice Nine Kills Scream Queen, Nadia Teichmann and Victoria Potter Worsnop along side beloved horror movie figures Joe Bob Briggs (Martin Scorcesse’s Casino, The Last Drive In on Shudder), Scout Taylor- Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween 1 & 2), Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil’s Rejects,) and Ricky Dean Logan (Freddy’s Dead, Back To The Future series).
The Shower Scene is featured on Ice Nine Kills phenomenally successful album, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. Released in October 2021, the album scored Ice Nine Kills their first Top 20 position (#18) on the Billboard Top 200, topped the Digital and Current Hard Music charts, hit Top 5 on the Current Rock, Independent, Current Albums, and Album Sales charts and has clocked up 100 million cross-platform streams to date and 12.5 million YouTube views for singles Hip To Be Scared, Assault & Batteries, Rainy Day, Funeral Derangements and Take Your Pick.
