Wednesday 13
Condolences
Horror PunkDust off those cobwebs and grab your chainsaw guitar, it's time to get down and dirty with Wednesday 13.
The tone of this album is grim and serious. This is straightforward metal, with snarling guitar riffs, Joesph Poole's scratchy Alice Copper-esque vocals, and drums that go straight for the jugular. The lyrics are sometimes bitter, sometimes just mean, but always aggressive. This guy's obviously got a chip on his shoulder the size of a coffin.
The album kicks of with "What The Night Brings", featuring an undeniable influence of Rob Zombie, which suits this Scarecrow just fine. From here on out, we are treated to some no-nonsense rockers that, while making no discernible attempts at being radio-friendly rock pop, still manage to be incredibly catchy and memorable. There's just enough double-bass pounding to get your blood pumping through most of the songs. The title track slows the tempo but by no means does it let up on the grimness. The same goes for "Death Infinity", the final haunting grinder on the album.
If you're looking for a dark & heavy album this Halloween that's more business in the front than party in the back, check this one out.
