WEDNESDAY 13 Says MURDERDOLLS Reunion Could Happen In 2019
March 27, 2017Horror-punk stalwart Wednesday 13 says that a MURDERDOLLS reunion could happen in 2019 — after he is done touring in support of his upcoming solo album.
Wednesday 13 spoke about his one-time project with former SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison during a brand new interview with Metal Hammer. He said: "MURDERDOLLS at the moment is the same as it's been since 2011 — there hasn't been any conversation between Joey and I. I just tell everybody, 'From what I hear through the grapevine, Joey is possibly interested in doing MURDERDOLLS again at some point.'
"If it does happen, then it will probably be in 2019, because this year and next year with my record I'm going to be touring non-stop. I've got my year pretty much booked."
He continued: "But I think the idea of us doing something in future and doing shows would be a great idea. I don't see why we couldn't. In my mind, if we did anything first, it would be a couple of shows or some festivals. Just to get out, do some shows, and play those songs first before we even think about a record is where my mind is.
"The band's been around 15 years this year — it's kind of classic at this point. I would love to have MURDERDOLLS be something I do on the side here and there, and Joey has his own projects that keep him happy, but why not do it on the side?
"If there's downtime between us in our schedules and we can work it out, I'm sure it's going to happen. It took eight years for the last one, so 2019 will be another eight years. I'd say 2019 we'd talk about doing some shows."
In a recent interview with CrypticRock.com, Joey, stated about the current status of MURDERDOLLS: "I cannot say anything bad about that band and what we accomplished with the MURDERDOLLS. Those tours we did are really awe-inspiring when you look in hindsight of what we accomplished in a short amount of time and the two records we did. I could not be more proud and happy of what we accomplished in that time. Everyone that was in that band, the couple of different personnels we employed, the MURDERDOLLS were killer. Like I said before, I don't know if I would do another record, but I won't rule it out."
Jordison — who played guitar for MURDERDOLLS — added that the band enabled him to express himself musically in a way that wasn't possible with SLIPKNOT.
"That is the thing, when we did 'Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls' [2002], I had already done four records with SLIPKNOT, two that were on the label and released," he said. "When we did the first MURDERDOLLS record, I have this punk rock and pop side of me that I don't really get to get out in other areas in my life. When we did that band, it was just pretty much to express fun, have a great time, and kind of throw a monkeywrench into what was going on in rock and metal at the time, and it worked. I would love to do another record. Like I said, I won't rule it out."
Wednesday 13 will release his seventh solo studio album, titled "Condolences", on June 2 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
