I’m in the hallways to Hell.<\/p>\n

Ice Nine Kills<\/strong> is a metalcore band from Boston, Massachusetts. I know, another metalcore band getting a video breakdown. Sorry. They just keep making videos that need to be broken down. I promise to mix it up next time… unless another bad metalcore video comes out, which is pretty likely. That’s just nature. INK fit neatly into the Warpedtourcore\/TasteofChaoscore genre, so start teasing out your Zelda cuts now.<\/p>\n

The band derive their name from Kurt Vonnegut’s sci-fi novel Cat’s Cradle<\/u>. <\/i>I’ve never read the novel, but I hope they don’t get their \u201ccutesy\u201d song titles like “Let’s Bury The Hatchet… In Your Head” or “The Fastest Way To A Girls Heart Is Through Her Ribcage” song titles from it as well. This type of metal does that more than any other. I wonder why. I mean, I don’t really wonder why, but you know what I’m saying. This video for \u201cHell In The Hallways\u201d (gag) was inspired by Stephen King’s Carrie<\/a>. Here’s what the band’s vocalist Spencer Charnas had to say about it:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an avid fan of horror films with multiple sequels, I have long had the urge to connect our music videos as a chronologic progression of stories. Taking off from our last video, based on The Exorcist, and moving into this new tribute to Carrie, I tried to create an original narrative that links these two classic tales of terror.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reuniting with Dan Kennedy and Rasa Partin from Little Sky Film (directors of \u201cCommunion Of The Cursed”) enabled us to bring my vision to life in an elegantly twisted way. But above all, the band wanted to take a stand against bullying and the cruelty it inflicts on so many kids. At it\u2019s core, the story of Carrie is a profound morality tale about the dangers of bullying and the horrific consequences that can ensue.<\/p>\n

\n

With a growing understanding by psychiatrists of the life-long consequences of being bullied, along with an increasing number of suicides, it seemed like a good time to put a spotlight on this epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You got all that? Great, because there’s going to be a Buzzfeed quiz about it soon.<\/p>\n
