Ice Nine Kills have announced their biggest ever headline show, taking place in March 2027.
After tearing up the main stage at Download Festival over the weekend, the horror metal icons have shared the news that they’ll be bringing their blood-soaked antics to London’s O2 Arena for the first time next year.
Taking place on March 28, it’s set to be their biggest headline performance yet, and we can’t even begin to imagine what they have in store.
Speaking on the announcement, frontman Spencer Charnas has said:
“London gave us our biggest headlining show in history thus far, and as everyone knows, there’s always a sequel. Can’t wait to soak the prestigious O2 in stage blood, and scream along with our British Psychos next year.”
Tickets will be on sale from 10am on Wednesday June 17.

I put this on expecting exactly what you’d expect from a new Nunslaughter record – fast riffs, blasphemy, a bit of chaos, maybe a couple songs I’d forget by the next morning 
New Nunslaughter always gets the first spin immediately. Been that way for years.
At this point Nunslaughter have been doing this for so long that you almost stop thinking about “new” records from them. They just exist. Another album shows up, Don of the Dead is still barking about Satan and desecration, and life goes on. But Satanic Chaos Legions actually feels sharper than I expected.
The first thing that hit me was how immediate it is. No dragging intros, no filler mood-building, no wasted space. The title track gets straight to work and by the time “Jesus Fucking Dies” kicked in I already knew this was going to stick better than I even thought. It’s got that stupidly simple hook that only Nunslaughter can get away with.
That’s always been their strength. Not complexity, not technical playing – just knowing when a riff is enough.
“Unsacrament” and “Peukharist” are probably the ones I kept coming back to most. Both have that old rotten feel, like something that could’ve fit on Goat without sounding out of place. Then “Cathedral of Stench” turned out to be the one I kept going back to most too. It drags more than the others, slower in parts, almost like it’s trying to crawl instead of run. Didn’t think that would be the one sticking in my head, but here we are.
Don sounds rough as hell on this thing. Maybe rougher than before. Works for me. Never wanted this band sounding sharp or polished anyway. Half the charm is that it feels like it could all fall apart if you pushed it too hard.
Same with the sound. Guitars are filthy, bass is buzzing underneath, drums cracking loud enough without taking over everything. You can hear what’s going on, but it still sounds dirty. That’s enough.
What I noticed after a couple spins was that nothing here feels mailed in. That’s the main thing. Plenty of old bands keep going because that’s what they’ve always done. This doesn’t feel like that. Feels like they were actually into it.
That’s usually what sticks with me anyway.
And yeah, it’s not Hell’s Unholy Fire. Didn’t expect it to be.
Still played it again!

Fresh from the Halestorm set at Download, Lzzy Hale and guitar-slinger Joe Hottinger brought their Unplugged Sessions to The Garage in Glasgow for the first of five shows.
Words: Ian Sutherland

Halestorm, throughout their history, have always been a people’s band, constantly touring and coming regularly to hundreds of different markets across the US, Europe and more.
Always happy to chat and have photos taken, calling out to the fans who do multiple shows from the stage, Lzzy’s open and honest discussions with fans on social media, the band and their freaks fan base, we are all the same is always the message.
The problem with how successful they have been with that strategy is that over time, there are more and more people in their rock family and the venues have to get bigger to compensate.
As someone who saw their first Glasgow show as third act on a bill headlined by Theory Of A Deadman, I will not have been alone in watching them up on the city’s OVO Hydro Arena stage and feeling wistful about those smaller gigs of yore.
It is for that reason there is such an air of anticipation in The Garage tonight. The scene of Halestorm’s first headline gig in the city is sold out again tonight, but this time for just half of the band.
Billed as an evening with Lzzy And Joe, this is not officially a Halestorm event, probably out of respect for the two missing members. But the freaks have come out in force to get to see two of their heroes up close and personal again.
No support, the two stars of the evening just wandered onto the stage and started doing their stuff. Honestly, it was just mind-blowing to see how easy this is for them.
Starting with a couple of ‘spicy’ tunes, they are not afraid to get personal about their long-term relationship or pretty much anything else, including threesomes as referenced in Do Not Disturb!
Nothing is off limits, it seems, and while the set obviously must have pre-planned elements, you can see the chemistry between the two, the banter about their lives, and that a look or a word from either one through the set can take things off on a totally unplanned tangent.
Without the full rock band sound, the rockier Halestorm tunes like Love Bites and I Miss The Misery still worked, with raucous crowd sing-alongs and an audience rhythm section. But the format lends itself to making the gentler side of their sound become goosebump special.
The Silence was just amazing, Gold Dust Woman was the pick of the covers that were played, and Familiar Taste Of Poison sounded fresh and new yet still deliciously familiar.
The obligatory Scotland tops and No Scotland No Scotland No Party section was a nice nod to their surroundings and a set closer of Here’s To Us was sung with huge gusto on and off the stage. Tell them to go fuck themselves indeed!
This was inevitably going to be a great night, Lzzy’s charisma and vocal chops, Joe’s easy yet eloquent acoustic stylings, a crowd who loved them both before they even set foot on the stage, the only mystery was which songs they would choose to wow us with.
And wow us all they did. All I have to do now is persuade the full band to do week-long residencies in The Garage next tour instead of playing the OVO Hydro. Whatever the ticket price, it would be worth it.
Raise those horns, Glasgow, few have earned like these two legends.
