New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Horror-inspired theatrical metal outfit ICE NINE KILLS continue to spread their captivating brand of terror throughout the 'horror-day' season as they gift fans with a free, online +/or mobile multi-level video game Merry Axe-Mas developed by Mungo Creative Group. Inspired by the 80's-themed music video for their single "Merry Axe-Mas" (featured on THE SILVER SCREAM [2018] and THE SILVER SCREAM: FINAL CUT [2019]), the game features three gruesome levels based on the storyline of the 1984 controversial slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night, one of vocalist SPENCER CHARNAS' all-time favorite horror films.
Along with the game, ICE NINE KILLS have recorded exclusive messages and specials deals for their dedicated fans to receive as they join Saint Nick through each level- whether it's jumping from chimney to chimney dropping sacks of decapitated heads in Santa's Forgiveness (Level 1), attacking sled riders in Santa's Forest (Level 2) or taking out carolers whack-a-mole style in Silence The Sinners (Level 3).
