Ice nine kills is my favorite band. Their name comes from a novel called kats kradle. Ice nine is a substance that can freeze the entire world. The lead singer, spencer charnas, is a huge fan of literature and horror movies. They started writing songs based on books in their last album every trick in the book, and fans loved it so they decided to base their latest album, the silver scream, on horror movies. Great reaction btw.
I don’t think Gibs watches horror movies. Also the last album “Every Trick in the Book” all the songs were based on books. Love that. Next one needs to be horror video games 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@DevinGibson you need to take some drum lessons! I think you'd really enjoy it, since the drums seem to always grab your attention before anything else.
The chugging/buildup you like is the guitarist doing what’s called “palm muting” he’s got his palm on the strings while strumming not letting the strings ring.
It’s called muting the guitar. The guitarist just touches the strings so they don’t vibrate when strummed. This whole album is about horror films The name of the comes from a substance called Ice - nine in the novel Cats Cradle
Watch them in order bud 1. The American Nightmare 2. Thank God It's Friday 3. Stabbing In The Dark 4. A Grave Mistake 5. Merry AxeMas 6. IT IS THE END 7. Savages Dude you'll love them Soo much and also check out there old stuff out 🤘🤘 Gibby Team Forever son 🤘🤘😎😎
gokussjdevil literally the beginning 😂😂 also I love how the end is so soft then BAM kinda like how the first few movies were, everything was safe and it seemed like it was over then BAM Jason comes up
This album is a great example of an artistic concept being executed perfectly. They have another album that is basically this but with songs based on books.
They used to be called “Ice Nine”. Ice nine is a substance in a book called “Cats Cradle” by Kurt Vonnegut. They eventually added the “kills” part later on
This is the coolest concept for an album ever. Now you have to react to the entire album. This song is about Halloween. This whole album is about horror movies.
My best guess on the name Ice Nine Kills could be from the novel The Cats Cradle where the compound Ice 9 can immediately freeze water. Also Ice Nine is in the film Demolition Man with Stallone and Snipes
Man I truly hope you continue to check these guys out. I've been a big fan of reaction videos for the past couple years but you have definitely become my favorite over the last year. If any band deserves a playlist on your site its these guys. They rarely put out a bad song and when they do its still good
That guitar picking part you was asking about towards the end of the song (8:42) is actually one of the most simple things to emulate on a guitar. It’s nothing but a “palm mute” while picking a single string. It’s something we use in rock/ metal writing to kind of have that intermission mid song while trying to not have dead air.
Yessss thank u d gibbyy u are the man i appreciate u checking it out all love bro keep it going man oh and btw ice nine kills is what u would call horror core all horror based
the name of Ice Nine Kills comes from a book called "Cat's Cradle" from 1963. It was a post modern science fiction book with a element called ice nine that caused people to die.
As a huge ice nine kills fan i can give you the background. Ice Nine was a fictional substance is the novel cats cradel by Kurt Vonnegut. Spencer(lead vocals) is a huge movie and novel fan and displays that in his music, mainly the last two albums, every trick in the book which is based off of classic novels and the silver scream which is based off classic horror movies. The song stabbing in the dark is based off of the Halloween movies.
Been watching your videos for years now. That sound is called palm-muting by the way you place your palm on the bridge and strum with your pick and it creates that percussive sound it's super heavy with distortion and it's super melodic in clean. Have a wonderful day!!!
I was in a horrible head on collision on the 13th of this month qnd sustained a lot of serious injuries and was bleeding out internally and almost died. I can most definitely say it came out of nowhere and has for sure changed my perspective on life. God first and foremost saved my life as well as my seatbelt.
That guitar effect you were talking about towards the end is called palm-muting. Its basically where you place your picking hand on top of the strings causing the sound to be somewhat muted.
It's about Michael Myers. Halloween. One of the best Slashers. It was filmed in the Late 70's with a very small budget, John carpenter. Created the concept. This film changed the face of horror movies. This film made Jamie Lee Curtis a huge star. It is a classic. It's funny that a movie that was independent, became so POPULAR.
To answer your question from around the 8:36 mark it's called a palm mute. It's played on a guitar by slightly resting the palm of your pick hand against the strings while l holding your chord on the neck to still get tone. It's used in most of if not all the breakdowns of this style of music. This palm mute sound in particular is achieved by muting and only using down strokes with the pick.
Ice nine kills have released 2 themed albums. The first "every trick in the book" was inspired by classic books like carrie, jekl and hyde, Dracula etc and this album "the silver scream" is inspired by horror movies like Friday the 13th, halloween, nightmare on elm street etc
Ice Nine is from a Kurt Vonnegut novel. They used to be a ska band and when they went metalcore, they added the "Kills". The Silver Scream is entirely based on classic horror films. Their previous album, Every Trick In The Book is based on classic literature (not all horror; a couple novels are Animal Farm, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Carrie) Before these two albums, it was all "original" music. The Predator Becomes the Prey (2014), Safe Is Just A Shadow (2010).
The name "Ice Nine Kills" derives from the book "Cats Cradle" In the book there is a substance called Ice Nine that when dropped in any large body of water, freezes that water and and everything around it. From that, ice nine kills was born
The effect you're referring to around 8:40 is called palm muting! Its where you pick the string but simultaneously use your palm (hence the name) to stop the noise the string makes from ringing out. :)
Their name comes from the substance ice-nine from the book Cat's Cradle by kurt vonnegut. They have one album based on classic novels - Every Trick in the Book And one based on classic horror movies - The Silver Scream including the song Enjoy Your Slay inspired by the Shining featuring Sam Kubrick the grandson of Stanley Kubrick who directed the movie adaptation of the Shining
The name ice nine kills is a reference to the book cats cradle. In which it mentions an element called ice nine that when it comes into contact with any water it freezes all the water connected to it. So that if a single atom of ice nine was put in the ocean it would kill all life on earth. Hence, ice nine kills
Most of Ice Nine Kills music, if not all, is inspired by horror films, shows, novels, etc. The Silver scream is based of of famous horror movie villains such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, The Crow, IT, Jason, LeatherFace and whatnot. It's a very interesting way to go about music cause instead of every song having a particular deep meaning they essentially make Metal theme songs for horror related stuff. Hope this helped in you knowing what kind of music these talented individuals do.
One thing I love about this album is that there is no deeper meaning behind it. It’s just a love letter to the golden age of horror. The band loved every movie they put in the album and the lyrics are littered with references.
Their name comes from a novel called Cat’s Cradle! It’s a fiction novel and Ice Nine is a substance in the novel! They base a lot of their stuff on classic horror movies & classic works of literature! Merry Axe-Mas is a good heavy one of theirs! Also Let’s Bury the Hatchet... In Your Head, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and Me, Myself & Hyde are good ones!
The little ticking sounds of the guitar are muted notes, usually done by picking one string or more while putting your palm over the strings so that's the noise it generates.
That guitar effect you were wondering about is a form of palm muting (the same technique used to make the heavy sounding chugs in the breakdown) but during that part they are playing on higher strings with less distortion and other mixing and master effects 😊. That’s at least how I’ve gotten that sound in the past. Love your energy and your videos my guy! Ferda 🤙🏻
Every song on The Silver Scream is inspired by popular horror movies, and their last album, Every Trick In the Book , is inspired by popular stories/books
The guitar effect is called palm muting. You rest the side of your picking hands palm on the strings right before the bridge of the guitar and it creates that chugging sound
I know im late to the part but the name Ice Nine Kills is from the boot Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, “Ice Nine” in the book is a very deadly substance developed by a scientist in the book
The name Ice Nine Kills comes from the book Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. "Ice Nine" was a poisonous chemical, I believe, in the book. The band was originally called Ice Nine, and they shortly changed their name to Ice Nine Kills. The band has always written horror-movie and horror themed lyrics. This album, their latest, each song was based on a horror movie (this song particularly being Halloween). The other song you heard was based on IT. Their previous album was all based on novels. The previous albums were all simply horror based lyrics. There really is no message to the song lol. Just writing lyrics based on the Halloween series.
That "d-d-d-d-d" sound is called "palm muting". It's when you play the strings of a guitar (or bass) while resting your PALM gently on the string so it doesn't fully sustain, which leads to a percussive, staccato sound.
You have to react to Enjoy Your Slay! Brilliantly captures "The Shining" with its lyrics and mix of hardcore and heavy rock! You're one of my favorite reactors. Keep up the good work my man!!
The Silver Scream is based on horror movies. They have another album, Every Trick In The Book, it is based on the lead singers favorite books. They also have albums of songs not concepts, they are also amazing. I've seen them live and it's a hell of a show. They are a band that is the best parts of horror nerds, drama kids and bad ass musicians! One of my favorite bands.
The little chucking sound is a very widely used technique or method used in metal or just rock and roll, it's called palm muting, when you are picking the strings you gently place your palm on the strings to make that sound.
Ice Nine Kills is a reference to a weapon of mass destruction in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle I believe. These dudes are super into literature, particularly horror.
Vinny Caruso they killll it live. I even went as far as getting the INK logo tatted on me with my best friend, who always sees them with me when they are near us. Four times and counting :D just such a great band, all that they stand for and all that they give in their on stage performance. Very worth it imo 🤘
this whole album is amazing. The concept of songs based on popular horror films is so great. Check out The American Nightmare from this album(or any song from it really) you won't be disappointed.
They base their music, on horror films. This happens to be written about Halloween, but they have one about the exorcist, Friday the 13th, American werewolf in London, and others
This song was based off of Halloween the movie, this entire album, The Silver Scream, a play on words of The silver screen, is all based on different horror movies
I know this is old but Ice Nine Kills name comes from a book Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. There is a substance in there called Ice Nine and we'll it kills
That guitar sound is from putting your palm on the end of the strings while strumming them. It lets the sound out but it doesn’t let it ring out if that makes sense. The technical name to call it is a palm mute but most people just call it chugging now
They are mainly a horror inspired band. Their last 2 albums are extremely horror influenced. On Silver Scream the have “Thank God It’s Friday” for Jason Vorhees, and like “Savages” is Texas Chainsaw Massacre, “Grave Mistake” is about The Crow, or my personal favorite “Enjoy Your Slay” based off of The Shining. But like their album before Silver Scream called Every Trick In The Book is Novel inspired so they have “Hell In The Hallways” for Stephen King’s Carrie, “Bloodbath and Beyond” for Dracula, or even “Me, Myself, and Hyde” is based off of Jekyll and Hyde. Explore more of their music man, you’d like em!
The whole "Silver Scream" album is about horror movies, this song is based on Halloween.. Please react to A Grave Mistake by them it's my favourite song it's based off the Crow and I love that film 😁💪
