Wednesday 13 is back with a new record Mid Death Crisis due out April 25, and a sexy new single “When The Devil Commands” streaming right now alongside a music video directed by Vicente Cordero.
“Growing up in the ’80s, I remember the satanic panic of heavy metal music and parents’ concern over what their kids were listening to,” said Wednesday 13 of the single. “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.
“So 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.”
Mid Death Crisis was produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver). Pre-orders are available here. Wednesday 13 also has a North American tour kicking off on March 14 plus some European dates hitting this July. Get your tickets here.
