The kings of horrorcore have reclaimed their throne releasing the mammoth single, "Twisting the Knife," featured on the official motion picture soundtrack for Scream 7 - one of the most anticipated genre films of the year.
The track features Scream 7 star Mckenna Grace and punctuates the lates film in the iconic franchise as the song that plays during the final credits. INK frontman and mastermind Spencer Charnas discussed how the track was an especially important collaboration.
“Twisting the Knife is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which means so much to us. Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters. Hearing the killer talk about horror movies, in that distinctively pop-culture savvy Kevin Williamson way, blew my mind.
In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. We announced the collaboration with Scream 7 at Wembley Arena, with Ghostface and Rose McGowan, which was surreal in itself."
Charnas continued, "When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie.
Marco Beltrami’s Scream scores are just as influential to me as any other component of the films. In our song, there are echoes of the moody atmospheres he’s created, with our own INK twist.”
Along with the unveiling of the collaboration track, INK have naturally delivered a cinematic music video that features David Arquette in addition to Johnny Brennan, creator of The Jerky Boys, as Francis Rizzowitz.
Along with the drop of the new music video for "Twisting the Knife," INK has released their Nightmare on The Knife’ limited edition merch drop. A play on Ice Nine Kill’s monthly ‘Nightmare on The Ninth’ merch series releases, the most recent drop features exclusive items specific to the newest single.

Scream 7 debuts in theaters February 27th.
