Ice Nine Kills Announces ‘A Very Vicious Christmas’ EP With Terrifier’s Art the Clown

Ice Nine Kills is dragging Christmas into the slaughterhouse.

The theatrical metalcore heavyweights have announced “A Very Vicious Christmas,” an eight-track holiday EP arriving November 9, 2026, through Fearless Records. The project was recorded in connection with Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights attraction, “Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse,” starring Terrifier villain Art the Clown.

The EP is available to pre-save now through the band’s official release page.

Christmas Classics Get the Ice Nine Kills Treatment

Ice Nine Kills will put its own blood-spattered spin on eight seasonal pieces. Confirmed selections include “Carol of the Bells,” “O Christmas Tree,” “Joy to the World” and two versions of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”—a band version and an orchestral interpretation.

The remaining song titles have not yet been officially detailed in the available announcement. No guest performers have been confirmed.

Frontman Spencer Charnas described the collection as the band’s “early holiday gift” and said the group immediately understood the assignment when asked to create music for Art the Clown’s Terror Tram takeover.

Charnas also credited Terrifier writer-director Damien Leone, producer Phil Falcone and their team for inviting Ice Nine Kills into the collaboration.
