Wednesday releases a 'Horrifier' of an album
Heavy Horror Punk icon Wednesday 13 has slithered his way to the top of the horrendous heights of Rock, Punk and Metal with his electrifying solo music and as frontman of renowned Horror Punk supergroup Murderdolls, amassing a colossal cult following along the way. On October 7th, 2022, the undisputed harbinger of Metal Horror returns, following up on 2019’s acclaimed 'Necrophaze' (No.2 US Heatseekers Chart) with 'Horrifier' a brand new slathering of eleven terrifyingly grim and groovy anthems to get blood pumping and brains melting.
Wednesday 13’s ninth full-length album kicks off with eerie introductory track 'Severed' before careening into one of the band’s heaviest songs ever recorded, the massive, slow and low 'Insides Out', accented by hair raising guitar leads and slithering vocals. The aggressive, Industrial edged 'Exhume and Devour' and warning sing-a-long single 'You’re so Hideous' pick up the pace with danceable 90's sonic vigor, while surefire hit 'Good day to be a bad Guy' aces the pure horror punk spirit of Murderdolls as a downright blissful tongue in cheek earworm that’ll seep into the listener’s head on repeat. John Carpenter’s Halloween inspired anthem 'Return to Haddonfield' convinces with marching gang vocals and a searing metallic guitar solo before the pace picks up again on fast riffing, mosh ready title track 'Horrifier'.
Southern fried Metal tinged 'Hell is Coming' is one of the album’s best displays of stylistic versatility, accented by an impressively commanding vocal performance while pumping out a thrash-worthy breakdown and Blues Rock solo. 'Halfway to the Grave' sees the band echoing 80's flavor accented by memorable leads and imploring lyrics before leading into the charging 'Christine' themed album standout 'Christine: Fury in the Night', featuring pounding drums, an unforgettable hook and a transfixing guitar lead that quite literally drives.
'Horrifier' closes with its most heartfelt track 'The Other Side' a personal ode Wednesday 13 penned about the sudden loss of his mother, as well as former Murderdolls bandmate Joey Jordison, but that also shines as a vital anthem made further pertinent after recent years of intense Worldwide loss and reflection. 'Horrifier' was produced and recorded by Wednesday 13 with mixing and mastering by Brent Clawson, and features stunning album artwork by Jonny Bush. A dynamic journey into the twenty year career-spanning sound of Wedneday 13, 'Horrifier' revitalizes with something for every listener to latch onto,,, boasting intensely fun Horror Punk energy with gruesome metallic attitude.
"The last three releases have seen the band explore new ground with heavier songs, drums, and vocals. Coming out of the Covid crisis, I promised I would not release a sad, depressing record. I wanted to make a fun, horror themed rock record that would be reminiscent of the first few Wednesday 13 records. The new album is a fun, fast-paced, thriller!" - Wednesday 13
