Review

Ice Nine Kills' "Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2" is a brutal and cinematic rollercoaster. Released on October 15, 2021, via Fearless Records, this sixth studio album introduces drummer Patrick Galante and bassist Joseph Occhiuti. Featuring 12 tracks, each inspired by a different horror movie, the band masterfully blends metalcore with bone-chilling themes. The enhanced production quality delivers a polished and refined sound that's a step up from its predecessor. Guest vocalists like Jacoby Shaddix, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, and Brandon Saller contribute to the album's depth and variety.

Lyrics from Spencer Charnas and Steve Sopchak deeply engage with horror themes, making the album a cohesive and immersive experience. Critics applaud its ability to balance evocative horror soundscapes with the band's signature metalcore intensity. Notably, Metal Hammer calls it a "flawless effort," and New Noise Magazine appreciates its cohesive feel. Commercially, it reached number 18 on the US Billboard 200 and topped the Hard Rock Albums chart. "Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2" stands out as essential listening for metalcore and horror aficionados alike, thanks to its meticulous attention to detail in both music and thematic execution. - Ben
