An October 07th release date has been set by Napalm Records for the ninth studio album from horror punkers Wednesday 13. The track “You’re So Hideous” has arrived online as the first single, complete with a music video inspired by the 1973 horror classic ‘The Exorcist‘.
The band’s titular vocalist had the following to say about that:
“‘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.”
The self-produced album was mixed and mastered by Brent Clawson. In addition to drawing inspiration from John Carpenter‘s ‘Halloween‘ for “Return To Haddonfield” and Stephen King‘s ‘Christine” on “Christine: Fury In The Night“, the album will find Wednesday 13 paying tribute to his late mother as well as his former Murderdolls bandmate Joey Jordison via the track “The Other Side“.
Speaking of the album itself, Wednesday 13 offered:
“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!”
