Ice Nine Kills was founded under the name Ice Nine by high school friends Spencer Charnas and Jeremy Schwartz and changed their name to Ice Nine Kills just before releasing their debut independent album ‘Last Chance to Make Amends’ on April 20, 2006. The following year on November 20, 2007, Ice Nine Kills released their EP, ‘The Burning,’ through Red Blue Records. The band then set out on several national tours in support of the EP including opening slots on tours with I See Stars and Eyes Set To Kill among others.
