I must be honest; I wasn’t excited when I realised there was a new album available from Wednesday 13. While I quite liked what he did in Murderdolls, his horror glam shtick has been done by other people much better than this, and with better songs as well. I can’t say I was disappointed when I heard it, as it was exactly what I expected with repetitive riffs, some electronic sounds here and there, and a feeling of “I’ve seen this movie before”. I was surprised to see some guests on here though, and while Alice Cooper didn’t push himself too hard on the title cut, Cristina Scabbia definitely added something to “Monster”. Jeff Clayton provided some powerful words to “Be Warned”, which was just him speaking and some delicate spooky piano for accompaniment, and was easily the best original number on the whole album even though it was only just an introduction to the next song, “The Hearse”.

The final song on the album sees Alex Laiho (Children of Bodom) joining in the fun as they work through the W.A.S.P. classic “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)”. It says something when to my mind the best thing on the album is a cover of a song more than 30 years old. The production is solid, sound is good, but the band really sound as if they are going through the motions. I have seen some rave reviews about this album on the web, but this really isn’t for me. Next.

This isn't worth a rave review, no. The WASP cover is good fun, and I love the Fang Bang album, but quite honestly, I got bored listening to this.
