Ice Nine Kills- Safe Is Just A Shadow (Re-Shadowed And Re-Recorded)

Label: Silver Scream / Project M

Reissued 2/14/2025, Originally released 2010

2010’s Safe Is Just a Shadow was an impressively heavy early moment for Ice Nine Kills, but as the years went on, bandleader Spencer Charnas wondered if their sophomore album could stand a facelift. This 2017 re-recording builds upon the excellently chunky bone structure of the metalcore original, though the riffs sound even more razor-edged than before, Charnas’ screams sound stronger, and the mix sounds absolutely massive. Unlike Gus Van Sant’s late-Ninties Psycho remake, the horror auteurs in INK managed to improve on the original.
