INK X CONCEPT CAFES ANNOUNCE NEW COFFEE LAUNCH, “SIP TO BE SCARED” PRIVATE LABEL COFFEE
8th November 2024
Concept Cafes, announces the launch of their latest collaboration featuring American metalcore band, Ice Nine Kills. Like the undead slashers celebrated in their songs, the aptly titled coffee, “Sip to be Scared” pays homage to the band’s latest release, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood.
Concept Cafes says “as huge fans of the band we are thrilled to partner with Spencer who is as adamant and dedicated as we are when it comes to creating an immersive fan experience that is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece for fans and coffee drinkers everywhere. It’s always a mixture of excitement and confidence for everyone when a new coffee collab drops, because when that wow factor resonates with the fans after first sip and confirms their expectation that this is NOT just some brand gimmick using sh*t shelf coffee, it’s just more confirmation for us that we are playing some small role in helping change the perception and misconception that coffee collabs just taste like sh*t. So much hard work goes into these concepts; and at the end of the day, we’re just fans ourselves, so we expect nothing short of an epic experience. Like we always say…we let the packaging do the walking and the coffee do the talking… “
The “Sip to be Scared” coffee description reads: This tasty alibi showers your palate in chocolate sorbet, berry spritzers at Flutie’s, & candied nuts at Nell’s…and if you’re either a INK or American Psycho fan you’ll savor in the reference(s). Kept under studio-security wraps for quite some time, Ice Nine Kills had only recently dropped some teasers at the ever-popular annual Silver Scream horror convention and the Spookala convention. This past weekend they premiered this insane coffee experience with the fans at famed horror convention Spooky Empire – The Dark Side of Comic Con in Orlando, FL with their collab partner Concept Cafes. The coffee is available now in the Concept Cafes e-store to ship fresh directly to fans around the world.

About Concept Cafes:
Everybody remembers that first opening riff, that mid-song breakdown, that blast beat crescendo that turned them on, and tuned them into Metal forever. With our artist partners like Cannibal Corpse, Max & Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry; we’re trying to recapture that moment of Metal possession for the fans by immersing them into a Metal coffee obsession like no other. As lifelong fans ourselves, we’re constantly seeking out the most epic Metal experiences; whether it’s records, live shows, merch, etc., so if we can maybe someday say we were a small part of that collective fan experience, then we’ve done our job. It’s also super important for us to illuminate the fact that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own, we’re just the chaotic-evil little elves that help them conjure their visions and forge them into reality for the fans.
We’re not here to snobbishly push conventional coffee culture upon Metalheads either, nor will we ever try to flip a quick gimmick on our Metal brothers & sisters to make a quick buck. We’re humbled literally everyday with this responsibility, and the opportunity to work with Metal legends. This is why we are constantly pushing the boundaries and possibilities, because foremost we believe there is no other comparison to the dedicated devotion metalheads have in keeping Metal music alive and stronger than ever! Metal deserves the absolute best when it comes to coffee!
Reality is coffee culture has become basic cookie-cutter over the past couple of decades; so safe and just a shell of itself which once fueled artists and their music across several generations. We want to revive that creative fire, and as far as playing it safe…it’s metal, motorcycles, & horror…what did you expect?!
