Wednesday 13

Wednesday 13 is the stage name of American singer, musician, and horror enthusiast Joseph Poole. Best known as the frontman for Hollywood horror-punk/heavy metal group Murderdolls, Poole has ties to other bands, including Maniac Spider Trash, Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, Bourbon Crow, and Gunfire 76. He has released several albums under the Wednesday 13 moniker, including notable efforts like 2011's Calling All Corpses, 2015's Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague, 2019's Necrophaze, and 2022's Horrifier. North Carolina native Joseph Poole embarked on his career in music in 1992 with Mizery, which later became Psycho Opera. From 1992 to 1996 he fronted Maniac Spider Trash. He left the group in 1996 and formed Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13 with fellow "Spider Trashers" Abby Normal and Sicko Zero. The band managed to release five full-length albums and six EPs over the span of five years before calling it quits in 2003 as a result of Poole's rising success with his Murderdolls side project. In 2004, Poole began recording under the name Wednesday 13, releasing the EP 6 Years, 6 Feet Under the Influence. It was followed in 2005 by the full-length Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead. In May 2006, Wednesday 13 put out a massive box set called Little Box of Horrors, followed by Fang Bang later that September. The significantly heavier and darker Skeletons dropped in 2008, followed by the equally brooding Calling All Corpses in 2011. The Dixie Dead, the project's fifth studio long-player, arrived in 2013, followed by Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague (2015) and Condolences (2017), the latter of which was the group's first outing for Nuclear Blast. For their eighth album, Poole and co. teamed up with DevilDriver's Michael Spreitzer to produce and engineer the recording sessions. 2019's Necrophaze also saw the group featuring guest spots for the first time, with Alice Cooper, Stone Sour's Roy Mayorga, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia along for the horror-filled ride. The LP became the group's highest charting effort to date, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. 2022's Horrifier saw Poole and company deliver a raucous set of groove-laden horror rock inspired by iconic '80s slasher movies like Halloween and Christine.
