We’ve teamed up with Boston metalcore band Ice Nine Kills to bring you some really fun behind-the-scenes footage from their “Hell in the Hallways” music video shoot, which was directed by Dan Kennedy and Rasa Partin of Little Sky Film. The video is a reimagined version of Carrie, the now infamous story from author Stephen King.
Vocalist Spencer Charnas explains the “Hell in the Hallways video:
As an avid fan of horror films with multiple sequels, I have long had the urge to connect our music videos as a chronologic progression of stories. Taking off from our last video, based on The Exorcist, and moving into this new tribute to Carrie, I tried to create an original narrative that links these two classic tales of terror. Reuniting with Dan Kennedy and Rasa Partin from Little Sky Film (directors of “Communion Of The Cursed”) enabled us to bring my vision to life in an elegantly twisted way. But above all, the band wanted to take a stand against bullying and the cruelty it inflicts on so many kids. At it’s core, the story of Carrie is a profound morality tale about the dangers of bullying and the horrific consequences that can ensue. With a growing understanding by psychiatrists of the life-long consequences of being bullied, along with an increasing number of suicides, it seemed like a good time to put a spotlight on this epidemic.
“Hell in the Hallways” appears on the band’s latest album Every Trick in the Book. The album can be ordered digitally via iTunes and Amazon or physically through MerchNow, where there’s a beautiful red with black splatter vinyl that is limited to 500 copies.
