Ice Nine Kills release new acoustic version of ‘Stabbing In The Dark’
ICE NINE KILLS have released a new acoustic song!
The song, titled Stabbing In The Dark, is a new acoustic version of the track which originally appeared on the band’s latest album, The Silver Scream, which was released last year. The new acoustic version features TRIVIUM‘s Matt Heafy and is included in the deluxe edition of the aforementioned album, which is scheduled to be released later this month.
In addition to the original tracking, the album will include bone-chilling acoustic dirge renditions of goth-avenging A Grave Mistake (live at SiriusXM), chainsaw-wielding Savages, machete-slashing Thank God It’s Friday(co-starring the first Jason himself, horror icon Ari Lehman) and pumpkin-carving Stabbing in the Dark (featuring TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy).
“ICE NINE KILLS is one of the absolute best bands on the planet right now,” declares Heafy. “Their blend of styles and sounds and unique imagery have crafted a world entirely their own. Being such a big fan myself, I did an acoustic cover of Stabbing In The Dark on my Twitch – live one day. Next thing I knew, INK checked it out and dug it – which I was honored to hear. When I was asked to guest on a proper acoustic version of my favorite tune from The Silver Scream – I was elated. I can’t wait till the world hears this newly reimagined version of this incredible song. Watch as INK takes the world over. Mark my words.”
Vocalist Spencer Charnas adds, “we were devilishly delighted to find out that Matt was a fan of INK. When we heard his chill inducing cover of Stabbing In The Dark, we knew right then and there that we had to collaborate with him. We have enormous respect for Matt‘s abilities and are honored to have him be a part of this spooky, almost folk like rendition of the song. He slaughtered this performance and we can’t wait for people to hear it during our favorite month of the year.”
