Ice Nine Kills release a new single with video featuring Mckenna Grace titled “Twisting The Knife”

Author Benedetta Baldin - 19.2.2026

The new song “Twisting The Knife” by the horror-loving metalcore band Ice Nine Kills has been formally released, as per theprp. With the addition of “Scream 7” star Mckenna Grace as a guest, this most recent homage to the “Scream” franchise goes above and beyond the band’s typical tribute repertoire. The band will be there when the next film in the slasher movie franchise opens in Los Angeles on February 25th, and this song will also play throughout the end credits. On February 27th, the movie will be released nationwide.

‘Twisting The Knife‘ is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which mean so much to us. Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters.

In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie. – Spencer Charnas
