Ep 473: Spencer Charnas

PUBLIC VERSION. Musician Spencer Charnas (lead singer of ICE NINE KILLS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope studio to share his incredible career journey from playing clubs in the Boston area to sharing stadium stages all over the world alongside juggernauts like METALLICA and SLIPKNOT. From playing cover songs in a punk/ska band in High School… to making the decision to pursue music for his lifelong career and taking the time to truly learn the business… to never giving up no matter how badly the odds were stacked against him… to how Spencer's decision to creatively lean into the horror genre he loves so much changed the game for ICE NINE KILLS … to recognizing the power that music videos can still have in a post-MTV era and utilizing the art form to its fullest extent by passionately making extremely well crafted and extraordinarily high quality productions to accompany INK's music… to Spencer's song writing process and where he finds his lyrical inspiration… to getting "the call" to come open for METALLICA… to meeting Lars Ulrich for the first time and the legendary drummer's unforgettable first words to Spencer… to becoming the band that KERRANG! hails as "Horrorcore Icons"… this is a conversation that you are going to wish never had to end. Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a screenwriter seeking other screenwriters, Joe gets real about a current summer blockbuster, and Adam and Spencer remember the great SPOOKYWORLD.
