Slashercore innovators, Ice Nine Kills have brought the latest chapter of their expansive cinematic universe to a brutal and sinister end with the video for their new single Meat & Greet.
The Silence of The Lambs-inspired video draws the curtain on The Horrorwood Saga, bringing the record cycle for The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood to a tasteful end.
Meat & Greet premiered at an event at The Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood called Ice Nine Kills Presents: Meat & Greet: The Horrorwood Saga Comes To A TASTEFUL End. Hosted by Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas and journalist Ryan J Downey the live-streamed event featured all eight of the official music videos from 2021’s chart-topping album, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood screened back to back, with the Meat & Greet serving as the final act.
This marked the first time the pieces of the Horrorwood puzzle were presented together as one cohesive film and gave fans both in attendance and watching around the world, the first look at the unsettling and blood-soaked end to the epic saga.
On concluding this multi-year concept, Charnas said: “After two years and eight music videos, we’re ready to bring the Welcome To Horrorwood saga to a shocking and tasteful climax with the unveiling of the final episode - Meat & Greet. Join us in celebrating the entire blood-soaked era of The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood as we present the horrifying climax of our cinematic saga…..at least for now."

Meat & Greet appears on Ice Nine Kill's forthcoming release Welcome To Horrorwood: Under Fire, out October 20th via Fearless Records, which caps off the ambitious Horrorwood Saga concept and is by far the band’s most intricate and detail-oriented release yet.
