Currently hitting venues across North America on his “There’s No Such Thing As Monsters” tour celebrating 20 years of Transylvania 90210, world-renowned fearsome frontman WEDNESDAY 13 returns with the second single cut from his new full-length album, Mid Death Crisis, set to drop 25th April via Napalm Records.
Following acclaimed, ultra-catchy latest single ‘When The Devil Commands’, brand new second single ‘In Misery’ is a spooky rager, scratching the itch of both goth-punk and sleaze metal while deftly ebbing and flowing amid heavy genre influences and an earworm hook!
WEDNESDAY 13 comments about ‘In Misery’:
“There are too many love songs out there about people confessing their love to one another. I wanted to do the exact opposite, and confess the misery of being in a bad relationship. Hopelessly, madly in misery with someone. I see it every day, people miserable together. I see it almost as much as I see people happily together. Some people enjoy misery, and this song is about enjoying that misery as much as someone in love.”

After returning in 2022 with his widely-acclaimed full-length album Horrifier (#8 US Top New Artist Albums), as well as several major tours supporting his solo work and celebrated Murderdolls reunion shows, the Duke of Spook is back with Mid Death Crisis! WEDNESDAY 13 dubs the album 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 (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver) the album oozes infectious 80s sleaze metal energy. Eerie introductory track ‘There’s No Such Thing As Monsters’ vibrates with electricity before industrial-tinged ‘Decease and Desist’ kicks in full blast. WEDNESDAY 13’s trademark crooning wastes no time entering the fold as he careens through the high-octane horror anthem.
First single ‘When the Devil Commands’ instantly proves itself as a stunner with an unforgettable hook, charging arena rock-laden drum production and chugging guitars, before tracks like ‘Rotting Away’ and ‘Blood Storm’ ensnare with metallic goth-punk energy that will have crowds moving wall to wall.
Featuring Faster Pussycat’s Taime Downe on guest vocals, standout heavy rocker ‘No Apologies’ is a fast-romping exorcism of toxic demons, while the triumphant mini-murder ballad ‘Decapitation’ 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’, ‘Xanaxtasy’ and ‘Sick and Violent’ explore various genres of metal, injecting the album with elements of gripping heaviness for any listener, while downtempo stunners ‘I Hurt You’ and ‘My Funeral’ approach a more pensive territory.
Although its title, Mid Death Crisis, may suggest otherwise, WEDNESDAY 13 shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the band’s hall of horrific history!
