Wednesday, July 9, 2025 – Ice Nine Kills, the RIAA Gold-certified masters of horrorcore metal, return with a vengeance on their latest single, “The Great Unknown.” A fierce, cinematic plunge into the world of sci-fi dystopia, the track draws heavy inspiration from “The Matrix,” blending explosive soundscapes with high-concept visuals. Watch the official music video for “The Great Unknown.”

Pushing their genre-blending vision further than ever, “The Great Unknown” channels the grandeur of blockbuster cinema while staying rooted in INK’s trademark precision and twisted charm. The video catapults viewers into a fractured simulation—one where time bends, control slips, and reality feels just a bit… off.

So the question is: do you stay asleep in the comfort of illusion or wake up and dive headfirst into “The Great Unknown?” Red pill or blue pill. Choose wisely.

The single’s release follows weeks of mounting curiosity and concern over frontman Spencer Charnas’ strange and erratic online behavior. What began as cryptic social media posts quickly ignited fan theories and online conspiracies. Whispers suggest that Spencer may have been swapped out by a glitching AI replica—a theory that gained traction after a bizarre rant by longtime INK nemesis Roy Merkin at last year’s Silver Scream Convention. Whether it’s elaborate performance art or something stranger, the band remains silent on the truth behind the speculation.
