Ice Nine Kills team up with Mckenna Grace for epic, official Scream 7 collab

Ice Nine Kills and Mckenna Grace have joined forces for a genuinely epic collab as part of the Scream 7 soundtrack.

Appropriately entitled Twisting The Knife, the soaring track will feature in the forthcoming horror movie (hitting cinemas on Friday, February 27), and frontman Spencer Charnas describes it as the band’s “tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which means 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,” he explains. “I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday The 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theatres. Hearing the killer talk about horror movies, in that distinctively pop-culture savvy Kevin Williamson way, blew my mind.

“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. We announced the collaboration with Scream 7 at Wembley Arena, with Ghostface and Rose McGowan, which was surreal in itself.

“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.

“Marco Beltrami’s Scream scores are just as influential to me as any other component of the films. In our song, there are echoes of the moody atmospheres he’s created, with our own INK twist.”
