Ice Nine Kills have scored their first No. 1 at Active Rock Radio with “Twisting The Knife.” The single, which features Mckenna Grace, was recorded for the latest film in the “Scream” franchise, “Scream 7.”

Notably, the song surpassed 10 million cross-platform streams during its first week, topped Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts, and topped YouTube’s Current Rock, Hard Rock and Metal Music Videos charts in the U.S. It is also the first “Scream” track to hit No. 1 at radio. It has since gone on to secure 32.2 million cross-platform streams.

Frontman Spencer Charnas commented:

“‘Scream’ has been and will always be a monumental influence on us, and the music has been every bit as important as the films themselves, starting with Marco Beltrami’s brilliant score.

The soundtrack to the original ‘Scream’ was especially life-changing for me, from Birdbrain’s ‘Youth of America’ and SoHo’s ‘Whisper To A Scream’ to, of course, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ iconic ‘Red Right Hand’. Hearing those songs still takes me right back to that moment in time. To now be included among the songs that make up the legacy of this franchise is one of the greatest honors of our career. Equally meaningful is the opportunity to help bridge the worlds of rock music and horror cinema once again. That connection once felt central to both communities, but it has faded somewhat over the past couple of decades. We’re proud to play even a small role in bringing those worlds back together.”
