ICE NINE KILLS - Every Trick in the Book - Review

From release to release, ICE NINE KILLS are sure a band to listen to as they change up the style of their music.  From pop-punk and ska, to post-hardcore and metalcore, you can know that each album will put something new out for you to enjoy. Their fourth full-length has a lot of potential and has used it well.

The first thing I would love to say about Every Trick in the Book is the concept that each of the songs on this album is based on a piece of literature.  Some songs are relatively on the simple side to figure out such as Me, Myself, & Hyde (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde) or Star-Crossed Enemies (Romeo & Juliet), while others have the stories you figure out by listening to the song through.

The instrumentals on this album are very theatric, which goes perfect with this album.  They are exceptional on tracks like The Nature of the Beast and Communion of the Cursed.  Spencer and JD's vocals both are as amazing as ever. To add to the perfection, with Justin on Bass and Cinor on drums, the album is flawless in story telling.

If you have a love for theatrics, rock, and metal, this is definitely an album to listwn to.
