Ice Nine Kills is currently on the Kiss of Death Tour 2024.  For the stop at the Tulsa Theater in Tulsa, OK they had Avatar and TX2 with them. Any time Ice Nine Kills or Avatar are in our area, we will absolutely not miss their shows, but you add both onto the same show, and it’s a night made in heaven, well actually a night made in hell. 

Fort Collins, Colorado’s own TX2 kicked off the night with an electrifying performance that left the crowd roaring for more. The venue was packed, and from the moment TX2 hit the stage, it was clear they were here to make a statement. I’d heard of these guys before and knew a song or two, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the sheer energy they unleashed.

HOLY CRAP!! Every member of TX2 gave it their all, pouring heart and soul into every riff, beat, and scream. They didn’t just play their set; they ignited the place. The energy in the room rocketed from 0 to 100 in seconds and never let up. Their performance was as tight as it was explosive, and you couldn’t help but jump along to every beat. TX2 didn’t just win over the crowd—they earned a legion of new fans that night, myself included. Beyond the music, TX2’s message of positive self-expression and mental health awareness struck a chord. In a world that could use a little more positivity, this band is a breath of fresh air. Mark my words: big things are coming for TX2, and I’ll be following their journey every step of the way.

As the crowd caught their breath, it was time for the Swedish metal juggernaut Avatar to take the stage. If you’ve ever seen Avatar live, you know exactly what was coming: a theatrical, high-energy, and occasionally humorous set that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Avatar has a unique ability to take you on a wild ride, and this show was no exception.

From the moment they appeared, Avatar had the crowd in the palm of their hand. Their chemistry on stage was palpable, and their love for performing was contagious. It’s one thing to listen to their music, but seeing Avatar live is a whole other beast. They pull off stunts and surprises that most bands wouldn’t even attempt, making every show a unique experience. Avatar is a band you simply have to see live at least once—or as many times as you can. Their music pumps you up, but their live show? It’ll blow your mind. These guys are masters of their craft, and they know exactly how to keep a crowd fired up from start to finish.

As the stage was being prepared for Ice Nine Kills, an eerie sense of anticipation crept over the crowd. The set was a gruesome display—random body parts strewn across the stage, creating a macabre tableau that felt ripped straight from a slasher film. The atmosphere thickened as Spencer Charnas’ signature microphone stand was placed front and center. A collective, anticipatory shiver ran through the crowd; everyone knew it was time for something wicked to begin.

The moment Ice Nine Kills took the stage, the venue erupted into a chorus of screams—not of terror, but of ecstatic excitement. The crowd, clearly a gathering of horror aficionados, was more than ready for the nightmare to begin. Kicking off with “Rainy Day,” the band dove into their chilling catalog, each song a homage to the most iconic and blood-curdling horror movies ever made. The music itself was intoxicating, but it was the band’s theatrical performance that truly mesmerized. Ice Nine Kills doesn’t just play their songs; they bring them to life, acting out scenes from the movies their music celebrates with a spine-tingling precision.

As the show progressed, the band tore through tracks from their albums “The Silver Scream” and “The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood,” each one accompanied by its own grisly vignette. Blood splattered, screams echoed, and the crowd was left teetering on the edge of madness, craving more with every sinister note.

The night culminated in a chilling rendition of “Welcome to Horrorwood,” a finale that felt like the final, inevitable scene of a horror film where the monster triumphs. When it was all over, the crowd was left drenched in metaphorical blood and adrenaline, the echoes of the music still clawing at their minds. An Ice Nine Kills concert isn’t just a show; it’s an experience—a beautifully horrifying fusion of blood-soaked theatrics and brutal, badass music. It’s a night where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, leaving you wondering if you should be screaming out of fear or delight. And perhaps, in that moment, you realize the answer is both.
