Wednesday 13 Announces New Album ‘Mid Death Crisis’

Wednesday 13 has announced his 10th album, Mid Death Crisis, out on April 25th via Napalm Records.

Produced by Alex Kane and mixed by Steve Evetts, the Duke of Spook himself calls the album a fun, campy “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” rager. Get a preview of the album with new single “When the Devil Commands.”

“Growing up in the ’80s, I remember the satanic panic of heavy metal music and parents’ concern over what their kids were listening to,” says Wednesday 13. “My mother was constantly checking my cassettes and making sure I wasn’t possessed by the devil. Most of the music that I listened to never had any of those themes, but they were just accused of it.

“When writing the lyrics to this song, I wrote what I thought would terrify my mother if she had stumbled upon this music. I wanted the lyrics to be upfront and leave no question as to what they were about… the Devil. This song is done in a fun spirit, and we don’t plan on burning any churches in the future.”

Listen to “When the Devil Commands” below.
