In a new interview with LA Lloyd, ICE NINE KILLS frontman Spencer Charnas reflected on the band's journey, highlighting two pivotal experiences.

The first was touring stadiums around the world as support for METALLICA in 2023 and beyond.

This was an honor for the band, who has cited NIRVANA and METALLICA as major influences since their musical youth.

A key takeaway from this experience was observing how METALLICA treated the opening bands with respect and professionalism.

The second pivotal moment was getting to perform at the iconic 'Scream' movie premieres, where their song "Twisting The Knife" appears in the closing credits of the 2022 film.

Charnas discussed his past interview with Mike Hsu of the Pike radio station, recalling seeing METALLICA live for the first time in Boston's Fleet Center in 1997.

He remembered Lars Ulrich drinking a beer on stage and falling onto the floor, which was part of the show.

The experience left an indelible mark on Charnas, who credits METALLICA with sparking his passion for playing guitar riffs.

The ICE NINE KILLS frontman also reflected on the band's co-sign from METALLICA, stating that it was an incredible honor to perform alongside one of the biggest metal bands of all time.

He expressed gratitude towards their fans, who continue to support them in touring with such iconic acts.

A key takeaway from Charnas' interviews is the importance of treating others with respect and professionalism, as seen in METALLICA's treatment of opening bands.
