ICE NINE KILLS Release Joker-Themed Video For “The Laugh Track”

Ice Nine Kills have unleashed a twisted new video for their latest single, “The Laugh Track,” paying homage to Batman’s most iconic villain — the Joker. The gold-certified metalcore outfit’s latest entry into the INKverse features appearances from Matthew Lillard (Scream, Scooby-Doo) and Phil Morris (Seinfeld, Smallville).

Directed by Jensen Noen (Falling In Reverse, Motionless In White), the cinematic clip draws heavy inspiration from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film, blending dark comic book aesthetics with the band’s signature horror-infused theatrics.

Frontman Spencer Charnas commented:

“Why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh? After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton’s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince of Crime. ‘The Laugh Track’ is our homage to Tim Burton’s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham. Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded, and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in Ice Nine Kills, with broad, maniacal smiles.”

“Terry Kiser returns in the video (although the rumors of Miles’ demise are exaggerated). And it brings a warm human smile to my face to introduce Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris to the INKverse. Like Prince before us, ‘The Laugh Track’ will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.”

Alongside the video’s release, Ice Nine Kills have teamed up with Matthew Lillard’s Macabre Spirits for a new limited-edition whiskey blend titled Horrorwood Reserve. More details can be found at horrorwoodreserve.com.
