WEDNESDAY 13 Reissues Album Back Catalog By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, June 14, 2019 @ 12:58 AM
As band mastermind Wednesday 13 recently stated: "Return Of The Living Dead! We are proud to announce we are re-releasing the previous W13 albums through Napalm Records available June 14th. Some of the releases are for the first time on vinyl Spook & Destroy, Undead Unplugged, Bloodwork and more (incl. GUNFIRE 76)!
With the exception of Transylvania 90210 and Fang Bang, the entire reissued back catalogue of WEDNESDAY 13 includes pathbreaking records such as Skeletons, Bloodwork, Calling All Corpses, Spook & Destroy, The Dixie Dead, Undead Unplugged, Monsters Of The Universe: Come Out And Play plus the Casualties & Tragedies album by Wednesday 13's project GUNFIRE 76.
A grimly glamorous ghoul who first slithered from the cobwebbed shadows of Charlotte, North Carolina, in the early 90s, Wednesday 13 has firmly established himself as the world's premier purveyor of balls-out horror punk insanity. With a vivid and vile imagination that has endeared him to countless fans of riff-driven macabre over the last two decades, he has been one of rock's most prolific protagonists, spreading his credo of grave-robbing rock 'n' roll and Hallowe'en debauchery around the globe and unleashing a seemingly endless stream of blood-spattered albums and EPs.
After several years of sharpening his creative teeth, Wednesday 13 emerged from the fetid crypt of obscurity with his band FRANKENSTEIN DRAG QUEENS FROM PLANET 13, those masters of snotty schlock rock that released an astonishing five studio albums and six EPs between 1996 and 2002. Always the leader of the revolting pack, Wednesday 13 then became a bona fide international rock star as front man for the MURDERDOLLS, his collaboration with SLIPKNOTs Joey Jordison. The band took the world by storm, with Europe and the UK in particular succumbing to the feral charms of 2002 debut album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls; a raucous eruption of big tunes and bad attitude that noisily redefined the horror punk genre. After MURDERDOLLS went on an extended hiatus in 2004, Wednesday 13 embarked on a widely lauded solo career that again provided him with an outlet for his relentless outpouring of fiendish musical and lyrical ideas. Albums like Transylvania 90210, Fang Bang or Skeletons all cemented our pallid hero's reputation as the bastard son of Alice Cooper and THE MISFITS, while his outlaw country project, BOURBON CROW and one-off glam metal vehicle, GUNFIRE 76, proved that he had sufficient versatility to survive outside the graveyard and abattoir.

All my favourite stuff, like KISS and ALICE COOPER and TWISTED SISTER, those guys set the bar pretty high, he states. I always wanted to do something in the worlds of those bands. That's the blueprint. It had to be as outrageous and crazy as that and I wanted to be on someone's wall one day and have their parents say 'Oh my god, what is that?' The formula's still there from when I started doing it as a kid and started wanting to be in a band. It's just GI Joe and Dracula!
