Wednesday 13 is just the kind of guy that Gary Barlow would hate. Forever blithering on about how performing artists need to flexible and continue to reinvent themselves, Gary has obviously not peered out of his longboat enough to recognise a man who invented himself once in his career and yet somehow continues to wow and impress with every release...

Sleazy rock n' roll from the man behind the Murderdolls and Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, you know what your going to get from a Wednesday 13 album. Songs about the dead with a cock rock vibe backed behind some simple but kick ass riffs. It's simple. It's kooky, It's catchy. It rocks. Calling All Corpses is Wednesday 13's fourth album and the formula hasn't varied much since the debut record Transylvania 90210 in '05...

Wednesday 13 has frequently declared his devout love for KFC - but he has more in common with the Colonel's chicken franchise than he might actually realise. You see, much like a bucket of fried chicken, you know what you're getting and what to expect from Wednesday - which isn't such a bad thing, because there's nothing worse than digging inside a bucket and finding a rat's testicles at the bottom (but hey, that's just me. Different strokes, I guess). Okay, that was surreal...

Thank God summer's over, in a way. The off-season levee has broken, and the shallow cesspool of albums from weirdo Neurosis clones and what-the-hell-is-thises stinking up my office has turned into a New Orleans of stuff that's actually cool. And what better way to get the ball rolling than a cartoonish rocker whose posturing is madly over the top? Yes, dust off those day-glo skull pantaloons, ye mall-goth porn-dolls and pierce-aholic vampires, there's a new Marilyn Manson inna hooooouse...

"The next chapter of rock 'n' roll debauchery," claims the sticker affixed to the new CD by the horror movie-obsessed, glam rock-influenced Wednesday 13. Led by one Joseph Poole, who assumes the moniker Wednesday 13, the singer/guitarist is best known for his Murderdolls side project with Slipknot's Joey Jordison, but at the rate he's going with this amusing but undeniably fun band, he's well on his way to surpassing his more famous act...

Although hard to fathom nowadays (since just about every single band is smearing on the eyeliner), there was a point during the '90s when "theatrical metal" was completely dead. But thanks to the success of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, the genre returned from the grave, as both artists proved that wearing makeup didn't automatically make you a pop-metallist like Poison...
