Ice Nine Kills is causing havoc in the city of Gotham with their latest song, “The Laugh Track.” Alongside the release of their new song, Ice Nine Kills has also released a new entry into their INKverse and music video directed by Jensen Noen.
The music video for “The Laugh Track” features the band taking over Gotham City while paying direct homage to Batman ’89. This new entry into the band’s INKverse also welcomes Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris, with returning collaborator Terry Kiser.
On the subject of “The Laugh Track” and its amazing music video, frontman Spencer Charnas shares, “Why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh? After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton’s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince of Crime. “The Laugh Track” is our homage to Tim Burton’s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham. Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded, and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in Ice Nine Kills, with broad, maniacal smiles.“
“Terry Kiser returns in the video (although the rumors of Miles’ demise are exaggerated). And it brings a warm human smile to my face to introduce Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris to the INKverse. Link Prince before us, “The Laugh Track” will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.”
“The Laugh Track” continues the fun-filled nature Ice Nine Kills have brought to their music over the years, and has been captured beautifully within their ongoing INKverse.
Matthew Lillard’s contribution to the band’s new entry comes in the form of a collaboration between Ice Nine Kills and Lillard’s spirits brand, Macabre Spirits, in the form of Horrorwood Reserve, which is featured prominently in the band’s new music video. Legal-aged fans can pick up a bottle of Horrorwood Reserve for themselves now in the form of either the Silver Scream Edition or the pricier Golden Age Edition.
