Just 4 days until Welcome To Horrorwood...

[@hakikigulyabani]

I demand more breakdowns!

[@ghosty_005]

I'm very excited. You guys make excellent songs and great story elements

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Can't wait, I'm having anticipation attacks

[@bi7630]

Had it pre ordered since it became available and I can’t wait! Seriously love INK for over a decade now. I just hope this album can be as heavy as the first silver scream

[@Hanaki1984]

15 hours!

[@Guenter34]

I say this every time. But I can't get over how gentle and polite Spencer is. He seems like such an incredible, down to earth kinda guy.

[@leahvandenberg5043]

He’s great! I’ve met him a few times and he’s always so nice!

[@alexanderrestaino1921]

I've only met him once at a show here in Albuquerque New Mexico and he was sick so they only played 3 songs but after the show i asked for an autograph as they were boarding the bus and he was so cool about it, i was trying to hurry it along because i knew he didn't feel well but he didn't seem perturbed by it and had an actual conversation with me when he had every right to just flip me off and get on the bus. Such a genuinely good person I would say it's a tie between Spencer and Kyle (lead singer for Brand of Sacrifice) as to the MOST wholesome lead singer in metal/rock

[@Tduder92]

A lot of my love for this band stems from how great of a guy he is.

[@waking_nicole]

Gentle is a good word 👍👌

[@Diskode48]

Love the Lorna shore shirt! You should collab with them/their new vocalist on your next album

[@Diskode48]

Or on a bonus track it would be epic

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

@@Diskode48 I hope for a collaboration with them.

[@toreba]

That would be insane!

[@screamoemo2860]

Saw them both open for Miss May I in ABQ years ago and Lorna Shore blew me away, so good

[@donaldkarr3687]

i swear ive seen ricky from ink in will ramos' instagam stories working on shit in the studio

[@Replicaate]

Now I sincerely hope INK get to the level of Iron Maiden sized arena shows, just so they can have their moving sets and probably live slashers running around chasing extras with rubber knives.

[@Jackson.1911]

I pray that happens, I hope when I’m 40 I can take my kid to a giant theatrical arena ink show lol

[@gsmith3755]

INK is such a cool band. It’s so hard to be original with the level of detail to source material that they go with, and damn if they don’t nail it every time

[@errorloadingmusic821]

Well they made plenty of albums where they didn't base their songs around anything.

[@Andrew_-nr7zt]

Spencers Lorna Shore hoodie is sick

[@junioroliver9455]

Yesair

[@ghostface3146]

I would love to see them create a song for wrong turn or hills have eyes, one missed call, the grudge, conjuring, i know what u did last summer and even about urban legends like bloody mary, Murdock mordekhai etc...

[@cameronwilliams6772]

There’s so much they can do now, it’s gonna be fun seeing what they release on this new album! 🙌🙌

[@cubecatecho]

If they were to kickstarter the movie for Silver Scream, I would absolutely back it. Especially if it brought a 3rd album in the series.

[@routeterror1236]

As for what would come in the future, I still would never rule out the idea of an urban legend/cryptozoology album! Bigfoot, Bloody Mary, The Chupacabra, Lochness Monster, Humans can Lick too, Killer in the Backseat, The Mothman, The Kraken, The Jersey Devil, etc.!

[@Guenter34]

That'd be so cool

[@TheSmokeinya]

Happily Never After (Alice in Wonderland, 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears)

[@zawarudo273]

@@TheSmokeinya Three little piggies, to make a piggy pie There's nothing like the sound when you hear a piggy die I might use a knife No! I might use an axe Yes! The carnival's in town, come and get your piggy snacks

[@thunderwatch8463]

Songs about cryptids would be fucking amazing!

[@MMID303]

Yes PLEASE. HUGE cryptozoology,paranormal fan here!

[@joebidensaterroist6651]

Funeral derangements solid tune.. love the Lorna shore hoodie!

[@ShadowKing0435]

So Ex-Mortus and the box confirmed hellraiser and evil dead

[@antoniosalgadomercado5712]

check the welcome to horrorwood wikipedia page. It says which movie is based on every song

[@BobRocksGuitar]

That sweatshirt is 🔥 Glad to see someone from the metalcore scene showing love to a band like Lorna Shore \m/

[@cathyponcza3405]

Love that he’s wearing a Lorna Shore Hoodie 🔥🖤 can’t wait for Friday

[@SupernaturalTessa]

Not long now until the release of the album, cannot wait! I really hope they do a UK tour! And am I the only one that thinks Spencer would make a great Leon in Resi 4?!

[@kimackerman2183]

I'm very excited for this new album! I've had the previous one on repeat since it came out and the new songs that have been released so far are amazing. I can't get over how passionate and dedicated Spencer is with his work at making every song great.

[@kadajtribal8532]

I think that they should do a 2nd version of every trick in the book. There's a lot of horror novels that need accreditation.

[@haileysuarez2903]

Love the album

[@vamptaylur1148]

Spencer’s voice is definitely spooky in this video

[@vampiresgrave]

stupid bad audio quality yet spencer still sounds drop dead amazing

[@theresawolfe7467]

Super awesome front man and band...a new addition to my faves....

[@kikih4337]

These interviews are great. The more I learn about this band the more I absolutely fall head over heels. Super cool they are finally getting the big break they worked so hard for. Can't wait to see them live 2024 you guys earned it and hope the tour with Metallic is lots of fun 🤘

[@Memeking000]

One day a trilogy will come

[@electricpuddle1320]

Amazing interview gotta love he’s wearing a Lorna shore hoodie to game respects game can’t wait for Friday!

[@CarnageCandyy]

im so excited!!!

[@themetalkid9864]

Yo He wearing a Lorna shore hoodie I love this Guy and I love Ink

[@lootgoblin4963]

I think after this they'll have not as many well known horror films and I could see INK potentially (if they keep up the horror concept albums) they could start theming each album based in specific subgenres of horror like one could delve into body horror, or they could also do an album where for the satire and fun of it, all the songs could be based of of the shittiest/goofiest sequel to certain franchises? Like Seed of Chucky, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child etc.

[@hyst6081]

What a fire hoodie

[@IonDynasty]

Love the Lorna Shore hoodie

[@kainebrooks472]

would love a fully fledged like broadway show from them honestly. i think it would slap & as much as i’d like a movie i really want a musical 👀

[@Wolf-yh2um]

The REAL Mike Myers

[@ZmannR2]

Ooohhh SHIT!! He slipped out what a few new songs are based on!!! Hellraiser and Evil Dead incoming!!!

[@KygecHuk]

Lorna Shore ^_^

[@pseudo5821]

He's a man of culture as well.

[@hyperfractal4711]

Awesome interview, awesome band, awesome frontman. Love it!

[@Dat1grr]

May have been done before, but not like this 👏

[@Zombie420]

i wouldnt have known the gage fact thats pretty funny

[@darkworker666]

The bonus tracks should be basket case, re animator, teeth, and idle hands

[@ADHDxDahveed]

EVIL DEAD & HELLRAISER... hint?

[@MoshpitTV]

So they did a song with Charlie from Hollywood Undead? I know they did a feature on a Hollywood Undead song but he said "We did a song with Charkie Sce e from Hollywood Undead" I havent heard anything else about that.

[@AXNightmare-zb9rx]

It’s heart of a champion off of Hollywood undeads new empire volume 2. I think that’s what he’s talking about. Charlie composes all of HU music

[@matt1er912]

The Lorna Shore hoodie! 😎🖤

[@Pepper_Jvck]

I would like an original horror story from them... kinda like what FLW does.

[@micahkafka8416]

I think if they did a horror concept album tied into an ARG with hints in the single music videos would be golden

[@nightwingx0126]

It’s impossible to say for sure, but this is the direction I see them likely going in when they’re ready to take a break from adapting existing stories. Love FLW, so it would be super cool!

[@XxMikeySaurusXx]

FIRST, YES 🙌🏼
