Slaying audiences across North America on his “There’s No Such Thing As Monsters”<\/strong> tour celebrating 20 years of “Transylvania 90210”<\/strong>, Wednesday 13<\/strong> has just unleashed the biggest surprise in his bag of tricks \u2014 brand-new single “No Apologies”<\/strong> featuring FASTER PUSSYCAT<\/strong>‘s Taime Downe<\/strong>. The track appears on the band’s upcoming full-length album, “Mid Death Crisis”<\/strong>, out this Friday, April 25 via Napalm Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No Apologies”<\/strong> wastes no time ripping into a heavy rock rager, laced with fiery guitar leads and even more searing lyrics. The fast-romping anthem is an unapologetic exorcism of toxic demons and even more toxic people, and arrives alongside a new music video, also featuring Taime Downe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday 13<\/strong> comments: “This is the most rock ‘n’ roll song I’ve written in years. I wanted to go back to my roots, and my roots are ’80s glam. The name at the top of that list was FASTER PUSSYCAT<\/strong>, so it made total sense to have Taime Downe<\/strong> guest on this track. Having one of my rock ‘n’ roll idols alongside me in the studio was an honor. We whipped up a nasty little middle finger salute to ourselves on this one, and the result is ‘No Apologies’<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning in 2022 with his widely acclaimed full-length album “Horrifier”<\/strong>, as well as several major tours supporting his solo work and celebrated MURDERDOLLS<\/strong>-centric shows, world-renowned fearsome frontman Wednesday 13<\/strong> is back with another slew of harbingers of horror to slay the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Duke Of Spook himself dubs “Mid Death Crisis”<\/strong> as a fun, campy, “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” rager and a true return to his hard-rocking roots! Produced by guitarist Alex Kane<\/strong> (LIFE, SEX & DEATH<\/strong>, ENUFF Z’NUFF<\/strong>, ANTIPRODUCT<\/strong>) and mixed by Steve Evetts<\/strong> (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN<\/strong>, PRONG<\/strong>, DEVILDRIVER<\/strong>) the album oozes infectious 1980s sleaze metal energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eerie introductory track “There’s No Such Thing As Monsters”<\/strong> vibrates with electricity before industrial-tinged “Decease And Desist”<\/strong> kicks in full blast. Wednesday 13<\/strong>‘s trademark crooning wastes no time entering the fold as he careens through the high-octane horror anthem, before tracks like “Rotting Away”<\/strong> and “Blood Storm”<\/strong> ensnare with metallic goth-punk energy that will have crowds moving wall to wall. Featuring Downe<\/strong> on guest vocals, standout heavy rocker “No Apologies”<\/strong> is a fast-romping exorcism of toxic demons, while the triumphant mini-murder ballad “Decapitation”<\/strong> riles up listeners with a catchy lead riff before making a hard left into a theatrical bridge straight out of a sinister ’60s sock hop! Ragers like “In Misery”<\/strong>, “Xanaxtasy”<\/strong> and “Sick And Violent”<\/strong> explore various genres of metal, injecting the album with elements of gripping heaviness for any listener, while downtempo stunners “I Hurt You”<\/strong> and “My Funeral”<\/strong> approach a more pensive territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although its title, “Mid Death Crisis”<\/strong>, may suggest otherwise, the Duke Of Spook shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the Wednesday 13<\/strong> hall of horrific history.<\/p>\n\n\n
