Wednesday 13's 'Fang Bang' Set for Sept. 12 Release on Rykodisc; US Tour Previewing New Material Underway

NEW YORK, NY (Rykodisc) - Wednesday 13, the former Murderdolls frontman whose campy reinvention of the horror core genre has turned the most pre-eminent of shock rocker, Alice Cooper into a fan, is set to release "Fang Bang," a 13-track album set for a Sept. 12 via Rykodisc.

Wednesday explains of the new release, "This is truly going to be the catchiest, glam, punk, rock 'n' roll record that I have made in my entire history. The new tracks are fast, fun, dumb and I'd say a little more reminiscent of my earlier days with Frankenstein Drag Queens, but with a new twist. I'm really approaching it with a 'less is best' attitude."

The song titles and lyrics on "Fang Bang" highlight his ghoulish and humorous world view:
1. Morgue Than Words
2. American Werewolves In London
3. My Home Sweet Homicide
4. Faith In The Devil
5. Happily Ever Cadaver
6. Curse Of Me
7. Haddonfield
8. Too Much Blood
9. Till Death Do Us Party
10. Buried With Children
11. Kill You Before You Kill Me
12. Die Sci Fi
13. Burn The Flames
