It'll be interesting to see how Ice Nine Kills augments its sound for this acoustic performance. Known for its slithering melody in a pit of metal and post hardcore, this Boston-based band mixes a campy (but not too theatrical) lyric above an avalanche of heavy rhythm. Vocally the music runs from minor keyed send-ups to a Cookie Monster roar. The kids seem to dig it.
Ice Nine Kills plays Wednesday, December 9, at The Record Archive, 33 1/3 Rockwood. 6 p.m. Free. recordarchive.com; iceninekills.com.
