Boston four-piece Ice Nine Kills has released a thrilling, ’50’s inspired, music video for “The Fastest Way To A Girl’s Heart Is Through Her Ribcage,” off their latest album The Predator Becomes The Prey, out now via Outerloop Records. Directed by Josiah Moore, the video is done in true Ice Nine Kills fashion with equal amounts of comedy and horror and features a cast full of INK fans. Watch it here.
Vocalist Spencer Charnas comments:
“I’m very excited for everyone to see this video. Not only does it include a devilishly tongue in cheek plot with an eerie 1950’s backdrop, but it’s cast is made up of almost entirely our fans. We put an ad up on our Facebook page asking kids to be part of the filming, and like always, our fans stepped up and made us proud.”
The band will tour with Motionless In White, For Today, and New Years Day on The Beyond The Barricade Tour beginning February 20th.
