I Wrote a Song with ICE NINE KILLS!

[@YotsuyaNight]

Personally, I really like Ice Nine Kils. Their early work was a little bit too scene for me, but when the Silver Scream came out, I think they really came into their own - commercially and artistically. The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest.

[@decaydjk8922]

HEY PAUL!

[@addisongalbreath4115]

*epic breakdown time*

[@CivilianSatellite]

Do you like Ice Nine Kills? "...not really..."

[@Un1versal93]

This confession has meant nothing.

[@NX_K]

And then there's Paul... *Say goodbye to Paul.*

[@vixter1_]

Joe with a mic sticked on an arm and a head on the other hand is the most Ice Nine Kills thing this couldve had

[@jakejo7440]

also just nice to see him shine. With Spencer as a frontman it's sometimes hard to appreciate all the stuff he does for vocals, too. All of them kinda tbh

[@chillybeats3209]

@@jakejo7440 I think Spencer said on the INK interview that everyone in the band does / has done vocals. Really cool to see

[@shona5512]

@@chillybeats3209 For a while there it was mainly Joe & Ricky contributing to vocals on the record, with Dan doing some vocals live. But now, both Dan & Patrick were contributing to vocals on Meat & Greet, so now we get to hear everyone in the band doing some singing.. Which is great.

[@chillybeats3209]

@@shona5512 yeah its really cool, I love this band so much haha

[@DanSugarman]

@@shona5512 haha close! I do a metric fuck ton of screams on the record and live, but haven't performed any of these songs live yet - that's for 2024 ;)

[@Teites]

NOT ONLY did he get Dan to do the leads, but ALSO Joe on vocals? Dude, this is actually crazy! His screams are pure madness!!

[@mattpiemonte2826]

Bummed he didn't get Spencer but Dan and Joe killed it

[@hunnaspain18]

I love how Dan’s video quality was so much better than nik’s love the song great collaboration

[@ProGamer1590]

this was posted on the discord btw

[@DanSugarman]

hahaha no way dude

[@JCaleb]

I actually forgot to apply my colour correction preset for Nik's footage during the playthrough, I blame it on Nik for being so late to send the footage

[@Rangar22]

I could definitely see this on an INK album

[@bananalien4823]

Why have i never noticed that Joe looks a lot like Spencer, and Dan is a beautiful man, well done on beating cancer btw dan, luv u

[@SEVEN_DUCK]

The exorcist theme in the solo was a nice touch

[@TommyAgramonSeth]

I keep saying that there's not nearly enough metal versions of Tubular Bells

[@HappyGreyBlu]

I’ve known joes vocals were great already, but Holy F*** did he kill this!! It’s amazing to hear him as lead. This track hits hard

[@th3m1ke]

I knew Joe was great at vocals but Im kind of freaked out he can front the band entirely on his own vocally and not miss a beat. Beyond blown away. Anyway ripping track NIk and so happy to have Dan back in the shrediverse healthy!

[@M8ImRekt]

Wow the guitar work, leads, and solo's from both you and Dan were spot on for this style. Also hearing Joe's vocals without Spencer really helps show what voice you're hearing specifically scream in the Ice Nine Kills songs now. Happy Belated HALLOWEEN 🎃🔥

[@FairyCRat]

Yeah, INK has some insane vocal arrangements. Ricky does a lot of singing and screaming as well. And JD would do that before him.

[@JarradBruessel32]

It sounded more like knocked loose with joe doing the vocals.

[@Un1versal93]

​@@JarradBruessel32I kinda got the same vibe

[@ronriffs]

Dan is criminally underrated… such an excellent player 🔪🎸

[@absolutebangersyt]

You all killed it. Another banger that will be on repeat!

[@NathanSkifton]

This was incredible! On top of the circus riffs, dissonance, and chromaticism, Nik nailed another INK element. Chaos and resolve. The freak intro and screamy verse into a melodic chorus. The bridge (after a sick Dan solo) going quiet and suspenseful, right into a punch you in the face sick disgusting breakdown, back into the chorus. That chaos and resolve is in so many INK songs and you nailed it, dude.

[@Stevelover0267]

Not to mention that (at least for me) INK is one of few bands that have a chorus so catchy it brings me back for more, which this song absolutely has

[@feduwtc]

now that you mentioned it, i can see that in a lot of songs from them Rainy Days, Shower Scene, Assaults And Batteries, IT Is The End

[@cankalminaza3173]

Ice Nine Kills should do a cover of this Live with Nik

[@Mr_Egg04]

If only.

[@ErikBuchanDrums]

I was already excited to see Dan in the video, but Joe being the vocalist made this legendary 😂

[@iwrestlechairs]

Now why is my new favorite Ice Nine Kills song not technically an Ice Nine Kills song. Fucking phenomenal as always

[@xypherus777]

The fact that Joe is the vocalist makes it perfect. Bro is an absolute stud muffin

[@MvsicAdd7ct]

Btw Nik, you look so metal with your dark eye circles, you don't even need black eyeshadow. So cool🖤

[@thrashtoad6956]

I love how everyone went full out in terms of production quality. Multiple angles, costume, making the footage look good (color grading, shading etc) and then there's just a dude playing guitar recording on his Webcam. I love it. Great work everyone! And I mean EVERYONE

[@demoralizethegodhand7795]

I love how the lyrics include “die die wave good bye” cuz that’s literally every song. Not complaining but love it.

[@sl.ame.derisoire]

My favorite youtuber doing a song with my favorite band, demonicaly heavenly

[@Taviraz36]

This should definitely be on an INK album. Well done Nik! Going to see them tomorrow for the first time, so stoked.

[@chillybeats3209]

this is the best one youve made so far, holy shit

[@Werwolfyeet]

Here are the lyrics for the song if anybody needs them because the Lyrics don't exists or are typed right song starts Uh, breaker breaker? We have some people getting a little stabby stabbed, on the corner There's some, uh, really weird clown *Clown laughs* Die! *Clown laughs* 1 verse In the killer's domain! Let the phantoms reign! A gruesome terror Haunting my fate! They go on! As we all survive The slashers and killers They'll harvest your life! Let the killers decide When it's your turn to die! Where? Do? You? Go? It's time for your final goodbye! Chorus 1 Bloodlust in store She screams for more There's a bribe we can't ignore Carve and slice Now roll the dice Get in line and pay the price 2 verse When the dead are blind Shadows, they cry! Screams pierce the air with every corpse they find! Their crimson eyes! The ardent suprise! But the symphony bleeds as The darkness lies! *Knife stabs* Lies! Blood! Just! Scream! *Women Scream* Rid the terror, so extreme! Final waltz, blood angels! Push your luck and you'll be next! Chorus 2 Bloodlust in store She screams for more There's a bribe we can't ignore Carve and slice Now roll the dice Get in line and pay the price You can run, but you won't ever survive! So say goodbye! (Goodbye!) It's your last night Curtain call, it's time to die! *Guitar solo* 3 verse *Baby cries* Lies! Blood! Just! Scream! Rid the terror, so extreme! Final waltz, blood angels! *Wome scream* Push your luck and you'll be next! Lies! Blood! Just! Scream! Rid the terror, so extreme! *Women scream* Final waltz, blood angels! Push your luck and you'll be next! Chorus 3 Bloodlust in store She screams for more There's a bribe we can't ignore Carve and slice Now roll the dice Get in line and pay the price You can run, but you won't ever survive! So say goodbye! (Goodbye!) It's your last night Curtain call, it's time to die! DIE! DIE! *Audience laughs* *song ends*

[@SuperSkinu]

This song has it all: The spooks, the heavy heavies and brutal breakdown. Can't stop listening 😩🤌

[@Aeryon_616]

This should be on an INK album man, sweet! All these tracks you do should be on the bands’ pages or something honestly.

[@CultOfDraven]

Goddamn...Nik Nocturnal's Ghostwriting Skills Are A Cut Above The Rest! haha! Amazing job dude! ANDDDD those Spencer Style vocals from Joe are just UUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFF!

[@laran9922]

3 amazing parts of this video: 1. ShredEx beanie 2. Nik's style, like damn he looks good in that blazer 3. the "She screams for more" parts 😩

[@NavyHamster901]

If this was a single off an INK record this would be an instant hit

[@Tecteun1988]

Love it! Another banger! And love The Exorcist/Tubular Bells-theme in the solo. And why was I expecting a cameo of Spencer Charnas at the end? And to be honest, I love INK. Their early work was a little bit too 'scene' for me, but when The Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically, the whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest" And this song should definitely be on a INK-album.

[@Metalstrike365]

This was AMAZING.... Think my favourite part was the Michael Oldfield - Sentinel inspired piano bit starting at 7:17 of the video and how well that works through the rest of the song. Sentinel was one of my favourite songs EVER as a kid, and was used in the original Exorcist movie, so that was a really cool tribute to throw in there.

[@ournextarc]

I hope to see more musicians following Niks methods here - just team up and make killer music where you can with everyone you can.

[@Tinyrick90]

Dear mother of god, this IS INSANE we need more from you 3 😮

[@Rottenscars]

The others songs didnt hooked me but this one is brutal af , and dan solo omg

[@stationdisatrous647]

So freaking awesome nik!!!! As someone who has Bloodbath and Beyond as the song I fell in love with my wife to, this was an absolute banger, my guy! Best one yet!

[@jamescooper291]

the hollup let him cook everytime he makes the drums is a classic

[@Mcgillum]

Nik is one of the greatest content creators out there. Especially for the metal community, keep up the bangers my friend. 💪🏼💪🏼

[@xBlade173]

I really enjoy INK. That being said, I really wish their last album was more like this. Structured cleanly, and more musical/less theatric. Excellent job guys.

[@MvsicAdd7ct]

This is one of the best INK songs and Spencer isn't even in it. That's crazy! Incredible! I love it! 🖤🪓🔥

[@MrGox]

What a collab...amazing to see Joe and Dan!

[@yogiyahya35]

Joe's vocal is sick 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘😈😈😈

[@deltazakuro4327]

Been listening to a lot of INK recently, definitely needed this today

[@MrJLov13]

Was just listening to this earlier today Nik, love your music as always and can definitely tell you that this one will be going in the playlist.

[@kollinrose]

This is so sick dude!!!! Ice nine kills is my favorite band right now! Dan killed is solo!🔥👏🤘

[@Livemetalclips]

I’m going to see Ice Nine kills at the anthem with my buds and I’m pumped! I saw them when they opened for Metallica in 2022 with GVF and just had to see them again. If you’re on the fence about seeing them, DO IT. 100% worth jt

[@andres_maximus1557]

BEST VIDEO EVER, OMG THIS SHOULD BE IN THE NEW ALBUM

[@ohladthekewlkid1467]

1:31 "Come on lofi this bitch up" is the funniest way to refer to INK

[@loliannihilator4620]

that exorcist part during the riff gave me chills

[@blakedunn894]

soo damn good. wow. also your mixes are amazing. NiK you are an amazing well rounded musician.

[@matt6288joyce]

I can’t understand how you’re not in the like biggest band in the world with all this talent? Is it more that you wouldn’t want the lifestyle of a touring band etc? Incredible talent and awesome outcome as always!!

[@Jay-qc9se]

Great song! now we only need a motionless song!

[@GawdDaeme]

Dude the part at 7:16 where you put in a version of the Tubular Bells theme from the Exorcist is just *chefs kiss* very very nice work once again!

[@bennydabz2831]

Joe is fucking awesome!!! Great job gang!

[@into_the_void]

The nocturnal metal universe is shaping up nicely

[@noahstrasmann1557]

Them and Lorna Shore are my favorite bands, this is one of the moments of all time

[@blakematthews9694]

Man ink has been one band that still gives me the same effect it had the first time i heard them which was the week the silver scream 1 came out and i listen to them daily and i always said I'd never get a band related tattoo but i got IX on my pointer finger and i don't and won't regret it. I dig everything they do from the riffs, music they put together and lyrics they write and spencers vocals that pull everything together. Truly a rad band and I've never looked forward to new music from a band so much then the iowa slipknot days and im 38 lol. Really hope they continue to crank out the goodies for years to come and its awesome that they're starting to get really noticed and land big tours. 🤘🧟‍♂️🗡

[@Papayaaa27]

The song is badass, and you Dan and Joe killed it, unrelated I can't get over the SlipNoot Pingu poster in the background

[@CapnRiggs2k5]

Yeah if I just random heard this on SiriusXM, I would instantly think INK. Nicely done

[@susshexe7987]

It didn't give me much INK vibes at first, but this is such a banger!!

[@Kameranium]

You nailed this.

[@MrScullman123]

Fucking W song. Not only did u make a INK inspired song u also got Dan and Joe in there. Simply amazing. INK is my nr.1 band atm and this is deffo going into my playlist

[@onetruesalmon1380]

You must be so happy, personally INK is my favourite band and you are a legendary youtuber. This song goes hard AF and it will be played in my car for the next 3 forevers

[@dezzy4396]

I fucken love ICE NINE KILLS 🔪❤️‍🔥

[@canadademon]

NIK! Your genius never fails to amaze! And it's awesome that Dan and Joe did this with you!! I was already a big fan, but this raises the fuckin bar!!

[@marvincenth.5781]

I FUCKING KNEW THIS HALLOWEEN WAS GONNA BE LIT. IM ADDING THIS SONG TO MY NON NIK NOCTURNAL PLAYLISTS TOO!

[@isuckatgaming7023]

Absolutely fuggin sick! I see them in Atlanta on the 20th. Can't wait!

[@PrincessRose15]

Legitimately one of my favorite songs on my workout playlist.

[@SIRebrum]

*NIK* with *INK* Hmmmmm..... 🤔

[@Skeleton_Dork]

We need INK to play this live

[@lc81002]

Opus just snoozing away during the solo and breakdown is the best part of this video.

[@Themonkey55567]

Ice nine kills should play this live with nik

[@AceHuman]

Holy mother of PEAK I love this. Good stuff Dan and Joe and Nik this was a perfect track. Amazing riffs and love the vocals.

[@WallyWaldo]

[@bgoutdoors802]

Ink is my favorite band and if i didnt see the video of you making it id immediately know its ink. You know youre good when members of the bamd actually jump on the track with you.

[@rezashojaei9170]

I always thought it's a shame Nik's works don't get to have a proper music video, then came out this. I'm totally blessed.

[@broodiestsnow02]

Just listened on spoopify and got jumpscared

[@LionheartSJZ]

Such a good song and I love Dan's elements in this, such a perfect fit!

[@johnjohn37371]

[@thericos7960]

A masterclass as always and it's so cool original artists come to do collab for it! Please ask Mr Corpsegrinder to come do a Cannibal Corpse full song (maybe with a solo by Erik)...

[@SPiano]

This is literally the coolest collab I have ever witnessed in my entire life, I would KILL for more songs like these!! Nik and Dan are legendary together 🤘🤘
