ABOUT ICE NINE KILLS

Decadent, devious and fiercely insane,  Ice Nine Kills  celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on 2018’s The Silver Scream which spawned Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “ A Grave Mistake  ” and Top 20 hit “ Savage s ” . The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Top 5 Hard Rock album, Every Trick in the Book ,  which brought the previous three records’ themes to new levels and which the band perfected on 2021’s chart- topping smash hit ’ The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood . ’

The phenomenally successful album, released in October 2021, 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  177 million cross-platform  streams to date and  15 million YouTube  views  for singles “ Hip To Be Scared ”, “ Assault & Batteries  ”, “ Rainy Day ”, “ Funeral Derangements “, “ Take Your Pick  “,  “ The Shower   Scene ”  and most recently,  “ Welcome To Horrorwood “.

Since the release of ‘ The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood  ‘,  Ice Nine Kills  have seen phenomenal growth. Throughout 2022 they toured the US extensively on 3 legs of  The Trinity of Terror.  During 2022 and throughout 2023 they supported Metallica in packed, sold-out stadiums around the world on their M72 World Tour. They toured the US with Slipknot and launched their enormously successful horror convention,  The Silver Scream Con,  which just celebrated it’s second, sold-out edition in the fall of 2023. Spencer was featured in the music video for the official song from  Scream 6  – Demi Lovato’s “ Still Alive “, an  Ice Nine Kills  flyer was used in the movie and featured a  Spencer-recommended easter egg . Beginning in the spring of 2023, as well as wowing packed-out stadiums around the world with Metallica,  Ice Nine Kills  headlined numerous sold-out shows on their Wurst Vacation European tour and thrilled tens of thousands of fans at Download Festival to huge acclaim from both critics and fans alike. They then toured the US with Falling In Reverse on their Popular Monstour run and hit the road for  ‘ Fear The Premiere ‘  US headline shows in August.  Ice Nine Kills  closed out 2023 on a high with the release of ‘  Welcome To Horrorwood Under Fire  ‘, an exclusive VIP event in Hollywood for the debut of new single “Meat & Greet” and the premiere of the full “Welcome To Horrorwood Saga” movies (featuring all music videos from the album as one chronological clip) and the phenomenally successful, inaugural run of the  Kiss of Death  co- headline tour with In This Moment.

The band’s synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs,  Ice Nine Kills  have built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers, with theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion. Their wildly creative output has seen them become recipients of the prestigious  Clio Award for Music Marketing  for their “ Merry Axe-mas ” mobile game and their live streaming event from October 2020,  The Silver Stream  be nominated for 5 awards at 2022’s Horror Hound Film Festival Awards in the categories of Judges Choice, Best Sound, Best Supporting Performance, Best Cinematography and Best Feature. With almost  2 million monthly listeners  on Spotify,  717 million career streams  to date and over  204 million views on YouTube  the band are firmly cemented as one of modern metal’s most vicious forces.

Ice Nine Kills & In This Moment: Kiss Of Death Part 2

Downtown billings skatepark.

“Horrorcore icons.” – Kerrang!  

Like the undead slashers celebrated in their songs, ICE NINE KILLS return with  The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood , a sequel of gruesome movie-sized proportion to their No. 1 Billboard Hard Rock Album, The Silver Scream . Welcome to Horrorwood carves out a fresh, bloody homage to the VHS celluloid classics that possessed singer Spencer Charnas at an early age, with a devilish new twist.  

ICE NINE KILLS make music both timeless and timely, mixing metal, hardcore, and punk, with accessible power. New hard-rock-meets-horror anthems like “Hip to be Scared,” “Assault & Batteries,” and “Take Your Pick” demonstrate Spencer’s fascination with fright, obsession with pop culture, and his expertise with inescapably wicked melodic hooks and clever twists of phrase. IN THIS MOMENT:

With a Grammy nomination (“The In-Between,” 2021), platinum and gold record sales, multiple

Top 25 entries on the Billboard Top 200 (“Black Widow” and “Ritual”), hits including “Whore,” “Blood,” and ”Adrenalize” and career streams of more than 1.3 billion, you’d think In This Moment might rest on their laurels. Instead, they’ve created GODMODE, 10 dynamic songs that mark a new high for the quintet, further cementing their legacy in the heavy music world. Proof positive is in GODMODE’s first single, the industrial-heavy yet ultra-melodic “THE PURGE,” and its darkly cinematic video directed by Jensen Noen (Bring Me The Horizon, Demi Lovato). From the portentous start of the ‘90s-tinged “GODMODE” with Maria Brink’s powerful primal scream to the pitch-perfect cover of Bjork’s 1995 “Army of Me” to the impassioned pain to partnership in “EVERYTHING STARTS AND ENDS WITH YOU,” GODMODE is a cut above.

The L.A.-based band’s eighth album finds vocalist Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth writing the most powerful songs of their career. “We’re always striving for reinvention and growth. It’s been 10 years since our Blood album, and there's been a lot of transitions happening, this year particularly, but it all felt so meant to be,” explains Brink.

Young people are choking each other during sex but experts say they don't know the risks

An Australian-first study into the prevalence of strangulation during sex among young people has prompted concerns over the serious health risks. 

Researchers found women were more likely to have been strangled than men during sex. 

What's next:

Experts say more conversations need to be happening in schools and at home to raise awareness around the risks, and the factors contributing to its normalisation.

Susie Dodds has had several sexual partners who wanted to choke her during sex.

While the 25-year-old had been able to rebuff their attempts, she says the experiences left her feeling panicked.

"That's definitely not something I am into," Ms Dodds told 7.30.  

"If there's someone that you don't know that well, or it's the first experience you have with somebody, that's quite shocking to experience.

"I've had, you know, a few men ask if they can choke me. A couple of them, their hands kind of [wandered] up that way, but I know a lot of people have experienced much worse."

Ms Dodds said she did not want to shame the men who asked her if they could choke her, nor does she think they are bad people — but she was surprised by how frequently the question came up.

Susie isn't alone — a study by the University of Melbourne and the University of Queensland which surveyed 5,000 people aged between 18 and 35 found 59 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women admitted to having choked a sexual partner.

The figure was even higher among trans and gender-diverse people, at 74 per cent.

More women (61 per cent) than men (43 per cent) reported ever being strangled, while the numbers were higher again for trans and gender-diverse people (78 per cent). 

"This group of people that we're looking at now is a context where the people engaging in sexual strangulation are largely saying that they're consenting to the practice," said Heather Douglas, a professor at Melbourne University Law School and co-author of the study.

The numbers don't surprise violence prevention educator Maree Crabbe.

"About three years ago, I started to hear much more frequently that strangulation was part of what was happening in young people's sexual lives," Ms Crabbe told 7.30.

"It had come up only marginally every now and then in the years before that.

"Young women have talked about [how] they have felt like they're genuinely being murdered ... they're really uncomfortable and feeling very, very unsafe."

The study, published in the academic journal Archives in Sexual Behaviour, defined strangulation or choking as placing pressure on the neck by using hands or other body parts or ligatures to hinder, restrict or obstruct breathing.

On average, those surveyed had been strangled six times by three partners – and the first time someone experienced strangulation was usually between the ages of 19 and 21.

Ms Crabbe said representations of strangulation in pornography and popular culture were influencing sexual practice, adding that sometimes, consent to sex was also seen as consent to choking.

The study found pornography is the most common way young people are finding out about strangulation (61 per cent), then movies (41 per cent), friends (32 per cent), social media (31 per cent), and current or potential partners (29 per cent).

"A lot of the people in our study said that they'd seen pornography in their teens, some quite young. So obviously this is an issue for parents as well in terms of engaging with the effects of pornography, the dangers of strangulation, how to broach those kinds of topics with their kids," Ms Douglas said.

Some young men Ms Crabbe has interviewed also describe feeling pressured to strangle their partners.   

"Some of them talk about not really being into it, there being an expectation, sometimes being asked by their partners to do it," Ms Crabbe said.

"But I think also it can be really difficult for young men to reject that as a sexual practice when it's become normalised."

Potential for brain injuries 'concerning'

Medical professionals warn compression of the neck can cause miscarriage of pregnancy, stroke, and within minutes, death.

"[Death] is rare, but it can occur. But perhaps most concerning is the issue that we're very aware of, which is brain injury," said Heather Douglas, a professor at Melbourne University Law School and co-author of the study.

Ms Douglas said studies had found people could be injured quickly with about 10 seconds to being rendered unconscious, 17 seconds to having a fit from a lack of oxygen, 30 seconds to loss of bowel control and 150 seconds to death. 

Jo Ann Parkin from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine says choking during sex can cause brain injuries like concussion, even if it's not apparent, and signs of non-fatal strangulation can also evolve.

"Absence of oxygen being supplied to the brain will affect things such as concentration, memory, decision-making, and we're waiting for more research in that particular area," Dr Parkin said.

"The issue with non-fatal strangulation is the fact that it has very serious outcomes that can arise from instances of short to long-term compression, so repeated episodes as well are an issue that we get quite concerned about."

Dr Parkin said other symptoms of injury could include a hoarse voice, and difficulty breathing and swallowing.

"The thing I would like to convey to the community is there is a perception that they can have a safe word, there is a perception that they can tap out effectively that they can give a signal," she said.

"And what we are hearing from our victims when they present in these settings is they were unable to indicate that in that situation.

"There is a very large misconception that this can be operated as an act very safely and it just is not a safe act, at any time."

'We need to be having conversations as a society'

In response to what she had heard from young people, Ms Crabbe is launching a campaign called Breathless to raise awareness about the prevalence of health risks of non-fatal strangulation and to encourage critical thinking about the kinds of influences that are contributing to its normalisation.

"I think we need to be having conversations as a society, but also, in schools and homes. Parents need to be speaking with their children about this practice," Ms Crabbe said.

"Unless there is stronger awareness of the risks, and also, some critical thinking about the gendered nature of it … it's going to be something that continues."

Ms Dodds shared her own experience with the campaign and said young people, particularly women, often felt pressured to conform with so-called rough or kinky sex, including strangulation.

"If someone says they're not interested in doing that, in a sexual context, now that's labelled as boring, or vanilla," she said.

"If you're going to do that, you do need to know the risk and you need to know that there is no way you can really do it safely.

"If you're comfortable with that, I guess, you know, it's your life, but it is your life."
