* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Ice Nine Kills started out as a ska-punk band, and while traces of the genre can be found in their later music (i.e. the brass section in "IT is the End"), they have moved far away from it. Tellingly, the band no longer keeps their first album on streaming platforms.

to:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Ice Nine Kills started out as a ska-punk band, EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Their 2000s songs were much closer to AlternativeRock, PopPunk,
and while SkaPunk. They refer to it as "The Pop-Punk-Ska Years", and the only material of theirs from that era that can be found on Spotify is their 2007 EP ''The Burning''. It was in 2009, when Spencer rebuilt the band after all of the other members had left, that they shifted to the {{metalcore}} sound they'd become famous for, though traces of the genre can be found in their later music (i.e. the brass section in "IT is the End"), they have moved far away from it. Tellingly, End").
** While
the band no longer keeps always had very dark lyrics, these were never unusual for metalcore. It wasn't until ''Every Trick in the Book'' and especially ''The Silver Scream'' that they fully adopted their first album horror movie theme. Lampshaded on streaming platforms."Hip to Be Scared" when Spencer homages [[Literature/AmericanPsycho Patrick Bateman]]'s monologue about Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews.
