New Interviews with Wednesday 13

"One day, I was watching TV and an Alice Cooper commercial with pain, snakes and electric chairs came by. I was like ‘what is this!?’. My parents said he was the devil, he bites the heads off chickens and snakes. And I was like: ‘Cool!’." [ Read the Metal Rage Interview ]

"I write about stuff that entertains me. And that comes from watching television and movies. That is where my inspiration comes from. You can never have enough songs about graveyards and zombies." [ Read the Aardschok Interview ]

Check out the latest Wednesday 13 E-card for "Buried By Christmas" taken from the upcoming album Transylvania 90210-songs of death, dying, and the dead.

Here is latest from the laboratory of Wednesday 13:

I just got back from NY visiting the fine people at Roadrunner Records to discuss the album and plans for the future.  Everything is looking great and everyone seems to be on the same page as how to market and promote this fucker.

Also, the band just finished a grueling 12-hour photo shoot with Paul Brown in LA for the album and press releases. We got some really cool shots, so look for those to start creeping their way out in the magazines soon. The record is mixed, mastered and complete now, and it sounds fucking great. We just have to finish up the artwork and get it out to all of you ghouls!!!! Over the next few weeks, we are getting the tour plans together for the album - so stay tuned here for all the latest!!!
 
Be sure to pick up the new issue of Metal Hammer magazine UK (on sale Dec. 20th) for the 4 page spook-tacular tour feature on Wednesday and the gang. See what happens before, during and after a Wednesday 13 show - this is your official backstage pass!!!
