Just days away from kicking off their North American tour, WEDNESDAY 13 and his boo crew have debuted a new lyric video for the latest single, ‘Monster‘ (Feat. Cristina Scabbia of LACUNA COIL) from their recently released album, ‘Necrophaze,’ that is available now from Nuclear Blast Records.

“’Monster’ is the 1st WEDNESDAY 13 song recorded to feature guest vocals. I wanted something different than I had ever tried before and I wanted a female vocalist. Cristina was the perfect choice for this song. I gave her the lyrics and some minor details, and she came back with what you hear. She totally floored us with her amazing vocal range and adding a new element never heard on one of our songs before.” –WEDNESDAY 13
“This collaboration was born from blackness. WEDNESDAYand I are both fans of the darkest vision of art and music, and when I was asked to sing with him for the song ‘Monster’, I immediately visualized his concept and shared it with pleasure. What I love about this song is that some people in life are taking the worst out of us… but demonizing it all and pushing away the tension through notes is the best thing to do.” – Cristina Scabbia
WEDNESDAY 13’s 8th studio album, ‘Necrophaze,’ is available now from Nuclear Blast Records. Featuring special guest appearances from, Alice Cooper, Roy Mayorga (STONE SOUR), Alexi Laiho (CHILDREN OF BODOM), Jeff Clayton (GG Allin’s MURDER JUNKIES) and Cristina Scabbia (LACUNA COIL) among others, ‘Necrophaze‘ shocks and surprises with a cauldron of monster riffs and haunting lyrics and have listeners feening for more.
Heavily influenced by real-life night terror occurrences of WEDNESDAY himself, historical serial killers, and a slew of 80’s horror films, the ideas behind ‘Necrophaze‘ are bizarrely familiar, frightening, and a hell of a lot of fun. Being a collector of both media and toys, WEDNESDAY 13 was inspired by a craving for variety to create dual album artwork for this release (seen below). The covers showcase either end of the horror spectrum with a ‘Creepshow’ comic book vibe for the LP artwork, and the eeriness of something akin to John Carpenter’s ‘The Fog’ adorning the CD.
