ICE NINE KILLS RETURN WITH “PLAY DEAD,” A BLOOD-SOAKED NEW HORROR ANTHEM

Ice Nine Kills are back with another theatrical dose of horror, unveiling their brand-new single, “Play Dead.” Created in collaboration with the hit asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight, the track continues the band's long-running tradition of transforming the worlds of horror and heavy music into one unforgettable experience.

From the opening moments, “Play Dead” is unmistakably Ice Nine Kills. Crushing riffs collide with cinematic orchestration, razor-sharp hooks, and Spencer Charnas' signature blend of melodic vocals and sinister screams. The song strikes a perfect balance between modern metalcore aggression and the horror-inspired storytelling that has made the band one of heavy music's most recognizable acts.

Over the last several years, Ice Nine Kills have built an entire universe around horror films, slasher icons, and elaborate cinematic music videos. With “Play Dead,” that universe expands once again, this time stepping into the terrifying world of Dead by Daylight. It's a natural pairing, as both the band and the game thrive on tension, atmosphere, and larger-than-life horror.

“Play Dead” also serves as another exciting glimpse into the band's next creative chapter. Following a string of standalone singles, including “The Great Unknown,” “The Laugh Track,” and “Twisting The Knife,” Ice Nine Kills continue to demonstrate that they're unwilling to repeat themselves while remaining firmly rooted in the horror aesthetic that defines the INKverse.

Stream “Play Dead” now and prepare for another killer entry in the ever-expanding world of Ice Nine Kills.
