Spencer Charnas (born 14 November, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter and actor. He is best known as the frontman and lead vocalist of the horror metal group, Ice Nine Kills. Spencer originally formed the band under the name, Ice Nine, with his middle school friend Jeremy Schwartz in 2000. The band name is a reference to the science fiction novel Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut in which a fictional isotope of water has the ability to destroy the planet. The band later changed the name to Ice Nine Kills just before releasing their debut independent album, Last Chance to Make Amends, in 2006. The groups' early style was a combination of pop-punk and ska music but later transitioned into a sound that includes influences of metal, horror films and musical theatre.
To date, Ice Nine Kills has released three EPs: The Burning, 2 Song Acoustic and The Predator. Five full-length studio albums: Last Chance to Make Amends, Safe Is Just a Shadow, The Predator Becomes the Prey, and their most successful albums to date; Every Trick in the Book, which peaked at #122 on the US Billboard 200 and their most recent, The Silver Scream which peaked at number #27, released on the fifth of October 2018. The group has had 2 top 20 Active Rock hits with "A Grave Mistake" peaking at #8 in late 2019.
