Ice Nine Kills transformed from a Boston-area pop-punk band into horror metal's most creative storytellers under vocalist Spencer Charnas' vision.

Charnas' gift for merging slasher-film narratives with genuinely heavy music has made INK one of the most successful concept-driven bands of the streaming era.
