----
!!Ice Nine Kills provide examples of the following tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: "The Nature of the Beast".
* {{Pun}}: Their songs are heavy on wordplay, from titles ("Enjoy Your Slay", "Tess-Timony", "Bloodbath & Beyond") to lyrics ("your neck is up next", "don't hesitate to axe").
* SpokenWordInMusic: ''The Silver Scream'' in particular features some spoken-word passages related to the movies that inspired the songs.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: Their later, heavier albums feature at least one of these ("Tess-Timony" on ''Every Trick in the Book'', "Love Bites" on ''The Silver Scream''.
