After returning in 2022 with the album Horrifier, as well as several major tours supporting his solo work and Murderdolls reunion shows, Wednesday 13 is back with new full-length album, Mid Death Crisis, set to drop on April 25, 2025 via Napalm Records.
Produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver) the album has 80s Sleaze Metal energy, further accented by a guest vocal from Faster Pussycat’s Taime Downe.
Wednesday 13 has unveiled the album’s first single, “When The Devil Commands”, along with a music video.
Wednesday 13 comments:
Growing up in the 80s, I remember the satanic panic of heavy metal music and parents’ concern over what their kids were listening to. My mother was constantly checking my cassettes and making sure I wasn’t possessed by the devil. Most of the music that I listened to never had any of those themes, but they were just accused of it. So when writing the lyrics to this song, I wrote what I thought would terrify my mother if she had stumbled upon this music. I wanted the lyrics to be upfront and leave no question as to what they were about… the Devil. This song is done in a fun spirit, and we don’t plan on burning any churches in the future.
