Ice Nine Kills Debut ‘Scream 7’ Track “Twisting The Knife” Featuring Mckenna Grace

Ice Nine Kills have officially unleashed their latest horror-inspired single, “Twisting The Knife”, a brand new track tied directly to the upcoming Scream 7 film.

The metalcore outfit’s newest release once again taps into their love of slasher cinema, this time serving as a tribute to the long-running Scream franchise. However, this collaboration goes a step further than previous cinematic nods, as Scream 7 star Mckenna Grace lends guest vocals to the track.

“Twisting The Knife” will also appear during the film’s end credits. Scream 7 is set to premiere in Los Angeles on February 25th, with Ice Nine Kills expected to attend. The movie will then open nationwide on February 27th.

Frontman Spencer Charnas spoke about the significance of the franchise and how it connects to both his personal history and the band’s identity.

“‘Twisting The Knife’ is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which mean so much to us. Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters.

In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie.”

The band’s long-running fascination with horror cinema has become a defining trait of their career, and “Twisting The Knife” further cements that identity — this time with an official tie-in to one of the genre’s most iconic franchises.
