Cinematic horror metal band ICE NINE KILLS has teamed up with Terrifier 3 for the movie’s official song and music video.
The collaboration was revealed by ICE NINE KILLS frontman Spencer Charnas during the band’s third annual fan convention, Silver Scream Con. Charnas was joined by Terrifier star David Howard Thornton, who portrays Art The Clown, a character now considered an iconic figure in modern horror.
The new single, “A Work Of Art,” is a tribute to the Terrifier franchise and will be featured in Terrifier 3, which hits theaters nationwide on October 11. Charnas shared his excitement for the project, saying, “The Terrifier franchise gave us Art The Clown, the greatest new horror icon in decades. We’re beyond honored to join the viciously delightful universe that Damien Leone and his team have created. The Art and INK fanbases are the same, and we heard the screams for this collaboration loud and clear.”
The music video for “A Work Of Art,” featuring David Howard Thornton as Art The Clown, will premiere at Fantastic Fest on Thursday, September 19, following the world premiere of Terrifier 3. The video will also be screened in select AMC theaters for early showings on October 10.
Directed by longtime ICE NINE KILLS collaborator Jensen Noen, the video includes appearances by Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), Leah Voysey (Terrifier 2), Sirius XM’s Jose Mangin, and musicians like Richard Christy (DEATH, CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED) and Shavo Odadjian (SYSTEM OF A DOWN). It runs for seven minutes and features special effects from Emmy Award-winning artist Christopher Nelson (American Horror Story, Suicide Squad, Halloween Ends).
The video was written by Spencer Charnas and Andrew Justin Smith, with music by ICE NINE KILLS, WZRD BLD, Paul Wiley, and Francesco Ferrini. Charnas co-wrote the lyrics with Steve Sopchak, drawing inspiration from Damien Leone’s characters. Art The Clown’s makeup was crafted by Heather Albert, and the video was executive produced by a team including Charnas, Damien Leone, and Phil Falcone.
Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, stars David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Krsy Fox, Jason Patric, Chris Jericho, and Daniel Roebuck as Santa Claus.
