Ice Nine Kills channel ’80s glam rock in new single for Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come

Ice Nine Kills have unleashed a (pretty damn great) new ’80s glam rock single, under the guise of spoof band Grave Diggler.

The rocking new tune – which goes by the name Hell Or High Slaughter (Grave Diggler: Pt. 2) – has been released as part of upcoming comedy-horror film Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come. And if you dive deeper into how it came to be, it turns out the band are actually comprised of Ice Nine Kills’ ‘dads’: Cubano Cortada, Shmuel Sugarman, Sonny Charnas, ‘Shreddie’ Murphy Occhiuti and Miles Long. As INK frontman Spencer explains: “What people don’t know is that the way that Ice Nine Kills actually met is that all of our fathers were in Grave Diggler.”

Following family politics and legal battles, Spencer reveals that, “I’ve been estranged from my father for a long time. But this movie, and this song, while bringing a lot of complicated feelings to the surface, also brought us back together.”

Watch the wild video for Hell Or High Slaughter (Grave Diggler: Pt. 2) below:

Ice Nine Kills (very much not Grave Diggler) return to the UK this summer to appear at Download Festival 2026.
