Recorded at their Worcester hometown headliner deemed their annual "Thanxkilling" in November 2019, I Heard They Kill Live features Ice Nine Kills' most popular tracks from The Silver Scream, Every Trick In The Book and The Predator Becomes The Prey. The album title and artwork plays homage to the NOFX classic I Heard They Suck Live, while also featuring all of the horror figures covered in past releases.

In a sea of subculture sound-alikes and would-be social media stars, Ice Nine Kills stand tall as passionate artistic trailblazers. For over a decade, Ice Nine Kills has built a thrilling new world for their band and their growing legion of fans. INK summons the most captivating elements of metal, punk and melody with theatricality, cinematic obsession, and literary fascination, creating a thrilling vision. After a decade of studio adventures and live showmanship, Ice Nine Kills joins the ranks of likeminded hard rock acts like Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, and Marilyn Manson, in terms of the combination of music and lifestyle and cult-band reverence.

Creative visionary Spencer Charnas had to say of the performance: "The Worcester Palladium holds a very special place in the heart of INK's history. On September 22nd, 2000, I attended a Goldfinger/Mest concert there that changed the course of my life. I knew after that incredibly high-energy show that I wanted to dedicate my life to writing and performing my own music. One year later, INK's first show would take place on the very same stage at a battle of the bands that we did not win. The concert is pictured in this album insert. 18 years later we sold out the very same 3,000 capacity venue and recorded this live album there – a full circle moment that I will never forget. This album is dedicated to the INK psychos who allow us to make murder and mayhem an actual career."
