Wednesday 13



Friday the 13th step aside and make way for an insanely talented artist by the name of Wednesday 13 who's been rocking our ear drums for over 20 year's! I first discovered Wednesday 13 through the Murderdolls when I was 16 when Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls came out, i couldn't get enough of it, At the time I'd never heard anything quite like it before i was into Death Metal and Hardcore Rap from the 80's & 90's i know weird taste but i loved the Fuck You attitude in it. I probably listened to that CD 150-200 time's before Wednesday released his first solo Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead in 2005 and have continued eagerly waiting for every new release he put's out so much so, instead of ordering Skeleton's off the internet since it was a Hot Topic exclusive and we don't have Hot Topic's in Canada, I drove 16 hours to Seattle to buy it! haha ok I didn't just go for the CD I had a concert to go see but the first thing I did in Seattle was stop at the first mall I came across and bought it!! it was like Xmas in June for me. There's not many artist's anymore that put out solid CD's where every song is a hit but Wednesday has never disappointed and i look forward to always supporting Wednesday's music no matter what. Wednesday 13 is the perfect example of PLENTY OF HORROR and for that i thank him for never giving up on the Horror Genre!! And remember IF IT AIN'T HORROR IT AIN'T SHIT!

He has been apart of numerous bands including Mizery which became Psycho Opera, Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, Bourbon Crow, Gunfire 76 but he was most famous for The Murderdoll's and Wednesday 13's solo CD's.
