2017, A grimly glamorous ghoul who first slithered from the cobwebbed shadows of Charlotte, North Carolina, in the early 90s, Wednesday 13 has firmly established himself as the world's premier purveyor of balls-out horror punk insanity. In musical terms, CONDOLENCES showcases Wednesday's growing obsession with the world of heavy metal and its endless possibilities for exploring tales of horror and violence. Produced by Zeuss, new songs like anthemic first single ,,What The Night Brings" and the pile-driving ,,Blood Sick" still exhibit a dash of B-movie weirdness and are full of Wednesday's trademark twisted lyrics, but where previous albums were rooted in the worlds of punk rock and glam metal, CONDOLENCES is a full-on modern metal record with gigantic balls and the attitude to match. From the glowering menace of ,,Good Riddance" to the grandiose hellishness of the album's 7-minute title track, it's living, breathing, murdering proof that the Wednesday 13 of 2017 means business. And business is mean
