The Duke of Spook and his devilish ghouls, WEDNESDAY 13, has returned with a new lyric video for their latest single, ‘The Hearse’, from their recently released album, “Necrophaze”, that’s out now from Nuclear Blast.
“The heaviest track on the record, and maybe the heaviest track of my musical career,” states Wednesday 13. “‘The Hearse’ is a beast with the double kick drum mania provided by drummer Kyle Castronovo. I’m a big fan of the movie ‘Christine.’ I wanted to write a song about a haunted car, so this was inspired by that mixed with the old rhyme from the ‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ book.”
Watch the lyric video ‘The Hearse’:
The horror-fueled track is the latest standout creeper from “Necrophaze”, which features other singles like ‘Zodiac’, ‘Bring Your Own Blood’ and ‘Decompose’.
With all touring postponed, WEDNESDAY 13 is currently plotting their return to the road later this year.
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.
“Necrophaze” was recorded and mastered with Michael Spreitzer, producer, recording engineer, as well as the long time guitarist of DEVILDRIVER, and is the first WEDNESDAY 13 record to feature guest spots, which include performances by Alice Cooper, Roy Mayorga of STONE SOUR (who provides an eerie, authentic, 80s inspired synth soundtrack-score to the album), Alexi Laiho of CHILDREN OF BODOM, and Cristina Scabbia of LACUNA COIL. Also making an appearance on the album is Jeff Clayton: member of legendary punk bands ANTiSEEN & GG Allin’s MURDER JUNKIES.
The Duke of Spook and his devilish ghouls, WEDNESDAY 13, have debuted an unreleased cover of GARY NUMAN’s song ‘Films’ from his debut solo album “The Pleasure Principle”, which just turned 40 this past September. The track is taken from Wednesday 13’s recent “Necrophaze” sessions and features guest vocals from Calico Cooper (daughter of Alice Cooper). The unique take on ‘Films’ is available on all digital service providers today: https://nblast.de/W13-Films
WEDNESDAY 13’s new album, “Necrophaze,” is available from Nuclear Blast Records. Featuring ghastly 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” is the horror-themed record of the year, seething with a cauldron of monster riffs and haunting lyrics that will have listeners feening for more.
WEDNESDAY 13 is currently on tour in North America and will on tours and performing shows with DEVILDRIVER, DOPE, RAVENBLACK, STATIC-X, THE 69 EYES and more.

Ghoulish horror fiends WEDNESDAY 13 have released a visualizer for a new single titled ‘Bring Your Own Blood.’ The track is found on the band’s upcoming album, »Necrophaze«, that’s out on September 27th via Nuclear Blast Records.
Commenting on the new song, the Duke of Spook himself Wednesday 13, says, “’BYOB’ is one of my favorites off the new album. It’s what I like to call the ‘party scene’ in this audio-horror movie that is »Necrophaze«. Like in a lot of my favorite 80s horror films there was a party scene, and usually a rock ‘n’ roll track to back it up…this is that track. This is the fun song on the album before everything gets dark and weird.”
The duke of spook, WEDNESDAY 13, has just released a video clip in which he talks about the reception of “Condolences” and his upcoming tour plans in Europe and North America. Check out the clip here:

The Duke of Spook, WEDNESDAY 13, has premiered a new video clip for ‘Cruel To You’, another new track taken from his forthcoming album, “Condolences”, which is set for release on 2nd June via Nuclear Blast.
Check out the clip here:
Wednesday tells us: “I’m really excited for everyone to see our new video for ‘Cruel To You’. Making this one turned out to be so much fun and director Tommy Jones made my comic book dream come to life. Running around sunny Los Angeles chasing a girl and her dog with an axe was certainly a first for me, haha! This song and video is definitely a throw back to the more fun, campy side of Wednesday 13.”
