Metal Musician Reacts to Ice Nine Kills | Assault & Batteries |

After the video premiere, Nik's channel is always our first stop.

Murderdolls like "WHY DID WE NOT THINK OF THIS"

[@yeet_master_5k653]

Best line from the song hands down is “this two foot tall demonic doll will make you his bitch.” These guys are amazing. Love this song.

[@BrayK71]

its even better once you learn the chorus is essentially the old toysrus jingle, but yeah I have had that line stuck in my head for hours

Three notes from this video: - This is a better horrorcore version of Panic! at the Disco. - Oh cool! They got the dude from the Dead Meat KZbin channel! - Nik legitimately looks like he wants to kill INK for the jumpscare.

[@xJaesa]

seeing james and chelsea at the end was pretty cool

[@fade_out-1971]

Nah they are a theatricore version of misfits.

[@maxkliegl2001]

More like symphonic metalcore version of Aborted.

[@joeygennaro1192]

@@fade_out-1971 it’s become too much imo, I love the silver scream, but still were all cohesive songs and some normal songs like a grave mistake, and with all the theatrics in those songs they still fit and made sense. This and HTBS (not as much but still some) have too many sound bytes and weird stuff and makes the songs not very cohesive. There’s good parts but they get ruined with the other stuff for me

[@horkusbork3594]

@@joeygennaro1192 the way I see it, The Silver Scream was the solid foundation of the INK "franchise," and the subsequent releases will be schlockier, cheesier versions of the source material but be entertaining nonetheless. It's basically an allegory for how horror franchises generally go. It may not be intentional, but I think it gives this a little added charm.

[@colleenglanville8293]

The costumes might be terrifying, but when you hear that Spencer was walking on his knees the whole time, you can't help but chuckle at the thought! Ice Nine Kills RULES!!! 🤘😆

[@Beaumo66]

'why does every guitarist make me want to quit now' i get it haha.. Dan is nasty and this is the first i've seen him go off, it being his own Ink track. He has had no issue playing JD's riffs at all. Dan is quickly becoming one of my fav current guitarist.

[@ryanbollinger1759]

Another absolutely incredible track. INK are definitely one the best bands in the scene and one of the most creative bands in heavy music right now.

[@deimos.93]

@derp derpin I think they will as i feel they are only doing a sequel because there are more movies that they want to do and that just like every horror movie they get a sequel. So i think after this one it will burn out

[@AugmentedAngel]

@@deimos.93 im just worried that they're gonna stick with it because, for better or for worse, the silver scream is what made them famous. i hope they don't keep trying to capitalize on it with songs like this one.

[@ryanbollinger1759]

Heavy music? 😂

[@gabmozes7858]

"Bass uh I was looking at the dolls" LOL. Nik’s hatred for basses is funny as shit. I’m so excited for INK’s new album. I was kinda disappointed by their last song (which is still song) but this one really surprised me ! I recognised my boys INK in this song ! Love it !

INK are so theatrical and tongue in cheek, it's so refreshing

[@raehex9092]

Nadia's deaths get more intense every video, I love that they leaned into the meme for the plot

[@coleG112]

If you thought guitarists make you wanna quit now, imagine your inspiration for drumming at 13 years old being Matt Greiner. He started out like, fast and powerful drummer in the first few albums, crazy but the parts were playable (even if you had to simplify it a little bit) and fun nonetheless, and then the next album he became one of the most technical and incredible drummers around.

[@spiggly_digg]

That must take some determination, I’ve been playing for a year and I still wouldn’t dare try an abr song

[@austinjames6497]

Composure and White Washed always were two songs I’d love to play someday. They’re just so nuts. He’s definitely a beast behind the kit.

[@MrDjentlegiant]

My favorite albums are constellations and leveler

[@kevinrazlog5789]

I had the pleasure of interviewing Matt at the beginning of the pandemic. It was hilarious I said your skill and technique almost makes me angry as I've been playing a decent while longer then you, but my god he is such a boss when it comes to drums. Super humble guy and was a blast to chit chat with for a good hour. He's def in my top 5 fav drummers of all time.

@Pseudo I was so sad to see JD leave, but it looks like Dan is really living up to the foundation him and the rest of the crew has laid.

[@xxjewfro86xx76]

Pretty sure jd is still with them he just doesnt tour with them anymore

[@Vynextus]

Besides Spencer, the entire lineup of Ice Nine Kills changed since the last album. And I hope this one stays

[@toxictv5307]

Patrick was the drummer on the silver scream. Ricky was also the touring 2nd guitars then as well. So Dan (lead guitars) and Joe (bass) are new from the last album.

[@hydrodrop5457]

Honestly with how often they change members I highly doubt this will stay. Even Spencer years ago said the lineup they had before is going to stay and now every member but him is gone. Ink really hadn’t been the same since and losing JD was the biggest blow for them

[@scarecrow7x]

The end mic slap scare is now my fave Nik moment.

[@ryanegeler6059]

The biggest take away I have had after listening to the Silver Scream multiple times, and now these two most recent songs is that INK is Panic At The Disco meets metal. I enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to more of this from them. Side note, seeing Nik's reaction to the jump scare at the end was priceless lmfao!
