Ice Nine Kills has released “A Very Vicious Christmas,” an eight-track EP reimagining Christmas classics with the band’s signature horror-metal twist. The project was created in connection with the band’s partnership with Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, where the songs soundtracked the “Terror Tram starring Art the Clown” attraction in Hollywood and the clown zone at the Orlando park.
According to the band, focus track “Joy To The World” debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s Metal Christmas playlist, while the EP reached No. 1 on iTunes’ Holiday Top Albums chart and No. 2 overall. The release is accompanied by a lyric video for each track, vinyl pre-orders and a limited “Nightmare On The Ninth” merchandise drop.
