WEDNESDAY 13 Announces New Album 'Horrifier'
Showcasing a blend of styles plucked from his solo band's 20-year career, "Horrifier" weaves an underlying sonic thread reminiscent of WEDNESDAY 13's roots — a raucous blend of ballistic metal and macabre heavy rock that'll have new and diehard fans alike ascending from the depths. As always, various tracks on the album are inspired by classic horror flicks, this time circling cult-favorite slasher John Carpenter's "Halloween" and the iconic "Christine" supernatural thrillers.
Today, get a first listen to "Horrifier" with the album's lead single, "You're So Hideous", out now and accompanied by an "Exorcist"-inspired official music video. The track stuns with danceable '90s sonic flavor, a sing-along chorus and an unforgettable lead riff that is sure to be heard at venues this fall.
Wednesday 13 comments: "'You're So Hideous' is such a catchy track and it's one of the very first ones I wrote for the album. Lyrically, it's a modern-day Medusa story… Beware the stare into her eyes. The music video was, of course, inspired by the 'Exorcist' film and was a lot of fun recreating that."
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 "You're So Hideous" pick up the pace with danceable '90s 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 '80s 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. "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 artwork by Jonny Bush.
Wednesday 13 states: "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!"
