Wednesday 13 Celebrates Upcoming Album Release on Loudwire Nights

On April 2, Wednesday 13 made a special appearance on Loudwire Nights to discuss the impending release of his 10th solo album, Mid Death Crisis, set to drop on April 25. The artist shared insights into the album’s creation and his journey in the music industry during a conversation with host Chuck Armstrong.

Anticipation for Mid Death Crisis

“This has been recorded since August last year, so I’ve just been sitting on this thing,” Wednesday 13 remarked. He expressed the excitement and impatience that comes with wanting fans to experience his new music. “You want everybody to hear everything right away, but you’ve got to wait piece by piece and it’s finally here,” he added.

A Decade of Solo Music

Reflecting on his extensive career, which includes not only his solo work but also his time with Murderdolls and other projects, Wednesday 13 spoke about his evolution as an artist. “When I started this rock and roll thing, I wanted it to be live fast, die young,” he reminisced. However, approaching 50, he finds himself still passionate about his craft. “I’ve never made it to that major, major level. I’m not Metallica. So I think I just always kind of feel like I got my foot in the door, but I never quite made it, so I’ll always have that drive to get to the next level and that’s what’s kept me going.”

Commitment to Growth

This drive has fueled Wednesday 13’s determination to improve himself as a vocalist, frontman, and musician. “Some artists, they don’t try, they don’t keep learning. They know enough. That’s good for you — I’m always learning, trying to get better at everything,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of continuous growth in his profession.

Key Discussions on Loudwire Nights

Influence of Ozzy Osbourne

• Wednesday 13 discussed the profound impact Ozzy Osbourne has had on him, stating, “Ozzy is and always will be the ultimate … There’s no one like that. No one will ever replace him or that era or that feeling, it’s just impossible to do that. I’m glad to have been around during that and see it and be somewhere included in the world of that, what he did.”

Alice Cooper’s Guidance

• He also shared how Alice Cooper served as an inspiration early in his career: “At the beginning, I didn’t really know what I was doing because I was making this up as I go. I didn’t know what the 13 solo album would be like. I was just following my heroes. What did Alice Cooper do? Okay, I’ll just keep following that. And here I am, 20 years later. It’s crazy.”

Reflection During COVID-19

• Wednesday 13 reflected on how the COVID-19 lockdown allowed him to reassess his career. “When COVID hit and the world shut down and everybody dealt with it their own way, for me, I had plenty of time to reflect and look back. It was kind of a good thing for it to stop for a bit because I was able to look at my career and not just keep going… I didn’t really think about what I was doing, then it stopped. [I had to ask myself], ‘Do you like where this is going?’ And I did like it, but I was able to look at everything I’ve done and go, alright, well maybe I like this a little better than that.”
