Wednesday announce Rat Saw God album, 2023 tour dates

Check out new song “chosen to deserve” now..

Last year indie rock band Wednesday shared "Bull Believer," an nine-minute epic that positioned the band as both impressively ambitious and intimate storytellers alike. Today the band have confirmed details of a new studio album, Rat Saw God . The record is due April 7 via Dead Oceans (home to Phoebe Bridgers , Mitski , and Japanese Breakfast among others). Lead single "Chosen To Deserve" is streaming below. Additionally, Wednesday have announced a huge tour that will take them across North America and into Europe throughout the first half of this year.

Speaking in a statement, Wednesday's Karly Hartzman says "Chosen To Deserve" is, "a writing exercise I gave myself to try to recreate the iconic song by Drive-By Truckers 'Let There Be Rock' but with my own experiences from growing up and fucking around and getting into stupid shit. The video directed by Spencer Kelly shows the setting of my upbringing and antics: my parents' neighborhood in Greensboro, NC and Lake Myers RV Resort."

Rat Saw God will be Wednesday's fifth album and their first since Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up , a 2022 covers album featuring their take on songs by Smashing Pumpkins and Gary Stewart among others. Prior to that they released Yep Definitely , (2018), I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone (2020) and Twin Plagues (2021). Guitarist MJ Lenderman released his solo album Boat Songs last year, too.

Rat Saw God tracklist:

1. "Hot Grass Smell" 2. "Bull Believer" 3. "Got Shocked " 4. "Formula One" 5. "Chosen To Deserve" 6. "Bath County" 7. "Quarry" 8. "Turkey Vultures" 9. "What's So Funny" 10. "TV in the Gas Pump"

Review by Gary Spiller for MPM

Something supernatural is occurring in Bristol, the sunny spring evening subsides, hauntingly shimmering into shades of grey and hues of black. A clinging fog shrouds the wharfs and quays of the docklands, shrouding all it touches.

Grotesque hunky punks, free from their ecclesiastical perches, flit between the monolithic presence of the wharfside cranes. Batlike, gargoyles skitter in and out of the broken panes of the long-abandoned warehouses, cackling gutturally as they go. The inky waters broil, the emanating steam hissing as it alloys uneasily with the fog. The scene is readying itself, enveloped by the murk the once deceased, bloodless, take to the streets unwitnessed.

A sturdy vessel, not a light to be seen, ghosts alongside. Silently it awaits its cargo. Through the heavy miasmic effluvium stride shadowy figures. Mooring ropes are cast shoreside, skeletal hands assist the berthing, and a mournful, forlorn call emits. The time arrives, the cast iron cauldrons atop the Redcliffe lead shot tower glow a ghastly red; for tonight it will be molten rock being dropped into a vat of solidifying horror punk.

This evening is fright night aboard the Thekla, articulate punk ghoul Wednesday 13 has returned from his Stateside roost bringing the nascent gothic talents of South coast horror rockers South Of Salem in support.

Known as the mainstay of the oft dress-wearing Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 Wednesday 13 has embarked upon a solo career since the breakup of noire punkers Murderdolls in 2004. Often described as the coming together of Motley Crue and the Misfits the Murderdolls was renowned for being a side-project of Slipknot’s drummer Joey Jordison.

Barely a week since tearing up the UK and Ireland with legendary shock-metallers W.A.S.P. this evening’s main support South Of Salem is back out on the road. As cross-Atlantic pairings go they are an ideal fit, their take on the aesthetics of horror punk crossover rock dovetailing quite serenely with that of our headliner.

Formed from the ashes of Al B Damned and The Texas Drag Queen Massacre this powering inferno literally exploded on to the scene with their 2020 foundation-quaking debut ‘The Sinner Takes It All.’ Since then, it’s been a rapid ascent for these rocking hoodlums and deservedly so.

The Thekla’s former cargo hold is packed tightly come the moment drumming force James Clarke with a cascading roar of thunder announces their arrival on-stage. Vocalist Joey Draper, straining every sinew, quite appropriately screams “Bristol let me hear you scream” as way of introduction.

The reign of terror begins with the vampiric essences of ‘Let Us Prey’ as the quintet threaten to tear apart the boat rivet by rivet. Energetic guitarist Kodi Kasper genially ‘machine-guns’ the crowd as Bristol is systematically daubed in a half-century shades of red.

The loyal members of The Coven are out in force as an emphatic “South Of Salem” chant breaks out. Gleaming Joey encourages “Let’s see you jumping!” From six feet under the tombstone horror rock of ‘The Hate In Me’ pervades with new six-stringer Californian Denis Sheriff shivering the timbers with a scintillating solo. Now that’s how to announce your arrival!

With its gothic noir barbed-romance aspect ‘Made To Be Mine’ enthrals with James a blur of sticks and hair alike. Somehow bassist Dee Aldwell maintains a precise synching with this percussive force. This is a turbo-charged hell on ten legs; Kodi indulges in a bit of behind the head six-stringing, but the cramped environs of the stage have clipped his wings a wee bit. There’s no detriment to the rocking output but it’s akin to caging the wide-roaming wolf.

SOS clearly love this venue with Joey extoling “Second time at Thekla, it’s so cool this venue.” Dedicating the infectious sleazy rock of ‘Pretty Little Nightmare.’ Engaging with the crowd Joey plays to the phones held aloft with Kodi, up front and centre, to despatch a trademark incendiary solo.

The Wisht Hounds swarm, unleashed from their granitic kennels high upon the moorland, for the demonic overtures of ‘No Plague Like Home.’ All too quickly the final song, to a chorus of disapproval, is announced. The fires of hell are stoked to the absolute maximum as the predatory anthem ‘Cold Day In Hell’ rages. Arching backwards Dennis sets afire his fret as Joey raises his mic across the top of the crowd before slipping, quite unexpectedly, off the stage and into the masses.

Goosebumps have been raised and the boat well and truly rocked. Underworld kinetics industrially employed. A voice, from within the depths of the crowd, notes “That was too short!” At about the 30-minute mark I wholeheartedly agree but this is the lot of the support act. It’s not that far in the future when South Of Salem will be headlining venues of this size and larger.

Come the end of nigh-on an hour and a half of oft-theatrical, seriously all-consuming, and genuinely rousing from beyond the crypt I understand a slice more about rock n’ roll. I need cogitate no longer as in tonight’s headliners Wednesday 13 I have the answer as to who’s the mainstay of influence for South Of Salem.

Striding on to the stage looking like someone had dropped Kiss on to the set of Tarantino’s ‘From Dusk till Dawn’ Wednesday 13 and his four accomplices are in a mean, determined mood. Opening night of their UK tour, returning for the first time in four years, they pack a hefty punch with their blend of industry, glam and downright sleazy punked up detonative rock n’ roll.

Assembling to an overcast, damnable intro the very metal fabric of the Thekla shakes and groans. Davy Jones’s locker judders open, the abyss widening and setting free the tortured nautical souls. In the distance a drum rat-a-tats and a bass drones. With an enquiring “Are you fucking ready?” from the frontman we head into the ghoul infested Western realms of ‘Bloodsucker’ where Rod Zombie and Ghoultown await.

A 21 st century Blackie Lawless is untethered to profound effect in ‘Halfway To The Grave’ served up from last year’s ‘Horrifier’ release. The firestorm seethes and bristles with an unholy ferocity; a blackened path is left in its wake. Wednesday 13’s crowd engagement elicits a truly blood-curdling vampiric scream that will haunt for a good while. Low slung guitars and bass are order of the day afront the hi-velocity stampede of ‘Scream Baby Scream.’

In a remarkable set Wednesday 13 visit all bar one of their nine studio albums with only 2011’s ‘Calling All Corpses’ missing out. “Our first show [in the UK] in four years, it’s great to be back” enthuses Wednesday 13. With glam Kiss-like riffing ratcheted right up the rasping infectious plague rock of My Home Sweet Homicide’ brings in glorious technicolour elements of the likes of The Ramones and Misfits.

With bridging segments between tracks, it’s a rapid-fire output with Wednesday 13, out front, the horror ringmaster dealing the deck at his calling. The good ol’ hard rock n’ rolling of ‘Good Day To Be A Bad Guy’ would surely go down well at the fabled Titty Twister. With a punky “Oi, Oi” the rapturous crowd respond noisily in kind.

To a destructive low-end rumble, we’re instructed to ‘Get Your Grave On.’ Its underworld bawl right from the depths of Hades. Demonic warriors gather, their skeletal forms threatening. ‘I Want You … Dead’ bursts volatilely with a vicious undercurrent of The Damned in their formative glory. The Thekla crowd, awestruck, are in the complete control of Wednesday 13 and his cohorts. However in amongst the barrage of intensity there’s room for subtle humour with the frontman, playfully, striking the bassist’s head in time with the intrusive cowbell.

Witches burn as the dark arcane proficiency in ‘Haddonfield’ follows. Carried along upon the molten lava flow we’re taken ‘From Here To The Hearse’ distilling a 100% spirit entitled Halloween; with a line or two of Alice Cooper’s 1971 single ‘Under My Wheels’ slipped in at the death for good measure. Fists punch the air, the crowd entranced as one as all the while dry ice swirls. I’m left in absolutely no doubt that Wednesday 13 is, indeed, the bastard offspring of Rod Zombie and Alice brought into the world by the hand of Iggy Pop!

Monstrous demons awaken, pounding right out of the catacombs Wednesday 13 pull the lever fully back to deliver ‘Insides Out’ to the horde. Howling and wailing ‘Decompose’ is full-on shock rock with more than a tasty touch of Alice in the vocals.

There’s a first time for everything and I can safely state I’ve never witnessed a drum solo being heralded by the segment of Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’ that was utilised by ‘The Exorcist.’ Rather appropriate in fact. The bombardment of ‘Keep Watching The Skies’ volcanically erupts with a fusion of White Zombie and Sepultura spewing forth.

The Murderdolls’ ‘Nowhere’ is emotionally dedicated to the memory of Joey Jordison. “I wouldn’t be here without him” explains Wednesday 13. It’s spiky and fiery, a seething turbulent anthem. Capacious in its intensity ‘Die My Bride’ shines a light upon Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 as the set constructs towards its finale. Thekla bounces to the anarchic undead pugilistic strike of ‘I Walked With A Zombie’, think The Wildhearts alloyed with Kiss and dropped into a midnight graveyard, and you’ll get the idea.

The crowd bay for one more song and are given three! Darkness the bringer of nightmares offers the grooving monster ‘What The Night Brings.’ Scaly demons skitter hither and tither, terrorising the obsidian hours with ‘Bad Things’ surfing on an undead wave. A mosh pit breaks out in the depths of Thekla as the spirits of The Cramps and Misfits look upon proceedings favourably.

The contagion has maximised and with middle digits raised from bow to stern and port to starboard ‘I Love To Say Fuck’ brings the roof down. Originally recorded by Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 it’s been re-recorded by both Murderdolls and Wednesday 13. There’s clearly an affinity herein. A clamorous rabble-rouser it’s the best conceivable way to end the set. Judging by the loud cheer at the end I’m clearly not alone as the Motorhead breakneck lifeblood pulses. Chanting “F. U. C. K.” the ranks of the crush repay the spooky dividend right to the very end.

Live Review: Wednesday at Band On The Wall, 07/11/2023

The next word in alt-rock seize the moment in Manchester

Wednesday’s fourth album  Rat Saw God,  which they released in April this year, solidified them as one of the best young rock bands in the world. They fused laid-back, dirtbag alt-country with an earnest and warm sensibility, and the songs themselves were instant punches to the chest. Their gig at Manchester’s Band On The Wall is part of their second lap of the UK this year, the first one back in June.

As vocalist/guitarist Karly Hartzman points out from stage, the room is much bigger this time around – for comparison, Band On The Wall is 500-cap, while five months ago they played the 60-cap YES Basement. It suits them well; their confidence as a band seems to have grown to fit the surroundings. Hartzman has no problem owning the room as a frontperson. Her presence is chatty and friendly, constantly cracking jokes with the crowd and her bandmates between songs. Yet while she’s playing, her vocals are astounding, particularly when she gets unhinged and intense during tracks like ‘Bath County’ and ‘Fate Is…’.

The rest of the band (guitarist Jake Lenderman, pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis, drummer Alan Miller and bassist Ethan Baechtold) match that energy; they’re all playing at the top of their game. Lenderman is a magnetic guitar player, breaking out into incredible solos in ‘Toothache’ and ‘Turkey Vultures’. The tones and textures at work between two guitars, pedal steel and bass are magical. They’re crunchy and heavy on the rockier tracks like ‘Hot Rotten Grass Smell’ and ‘Bath County’, glimmering on the ballads like ‘Formula One’, and on the moodier songs such as ‘Cody’s Only’ they sit and stew with each other, forming a rich atmosphere.

The exuberant  Rat Saw God  lead single ‘Chosen To Deserve’ is a highlight of the set, for unflashy reasons – just a fantastic song played with perfect tightness and energy. Before they go into it, Hartzman entertains the crowd by elaborating on the tales of adolescent misbehaviour in the song, noting she and her friends were inspired by  Skins.  “Y’all like that show here, huh?!” Chelmis quips after the crowd’s rowdy response. Wednesday are a great band for banter, which makes the whole show feel easy-going and down-to-earth – as does the fact that they take a crowd request in the form of deep cut ‘November,’ which they have to take a minute to relearn as Hartzman claims they’ve only played it four times ever.

Hartzman does get serious before the last song of the set, ‘Bull Believer,’ where she asks the crowd to make a donation to Palestinian children’s aid at the merch table. “If you’re angry like we are angry, feel free to scream with me at the end of this song,” she says. The eight-minute epic is imbued with an extra sense of urgency, particularly at its stunning crescendo that sees Hartzman break into shattering screams. After that, the band walk away unceremoniously as Hartzman thanks the crowd. There’s a feeling that what we’ve just seen for the last hour is a generational rock band at work.

Wednesday continue their UK tour in Leeds and London on 10-11 November. Find tickets here.

WEDNESDAY 13 has announced a UK & EU Tour celebrating 20 Years of MURDERDOLLS , his iconic former band with Joey Jordison. Wednesday and his current solo band – which features former MURDERDOLLS alumni Roman Surman and Jack Tankersley – will be performing a full set of MURDERDOLLS songs, chosen from their celebrated 2002 debut album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls and their triumphant 2010 return, Women And Children Last.

The run of dates, below, includes two Midlands visits… Wolverhampton and Nottingham.

WEDNESDAY explains: “After 21 years since its release, and the recent sad and premature passing of Joey, it only feels right to go out and celebrate these songs. We made two amazing albums that I was very proud of, and unfortunately much of the world didn’t get a chance to hear the songs live. In 2018, we all got together at Joey’s house and discussed ideas and possibilities for the future, but we both had other immediate plans.  

“After an amazing run through the US performing these songs, we will now take the tour where the band began, in the UK and Europe this October/November. We will be performing tracks from both Murderdolls albums and celebrating the legacy of the band. Joining us on a handful of dates in the UK will be Sweden’s rock n’ roll saviours, Hardcore Superstar, and we will join them as support throughout dates across Europe.. We can’t wait to bring this tour to the UK and Europe later this year.”  

Amid a 2002 musical landscape full of baggy pants, backwards caps and tracksuits rose Murderdolls , a metallic glam punk band that defied the prevailing trends and brought back hard, fast rock ’n roll. They dug up the corpse of rock and injected pure undead, unadulterated life back into it. And it was glorious!

Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls and its successor, Women and Children Last were like nothing else – fast and dirty, raw and macabre. Drawing lyrical inspiration from classic macabre, each track is full of tongue-in-cheek horror, executed to perfection. Led by the ‘Duke of Spook’ Wednesday 13  and the late, great Joey Jordison , Murderdolls slithered their way to the horrendous heights of rock amassing a colossal cult-following along the way.  

The sinister, sneering vocals, huge hooks, gang vocal choruses, pounding rhythms and some of the catchiest riffs ever penned, Murderdolls wrote songs for arenas and played them in theatres, making their adrenaline-fueled odes to darkness that much more thrilling.  

The full UK tour dates rack up as follows. Tickets go on sale this Friday (26 Jan) at 10am and will be available here.

“After 21 years since its release, and the recent sad and premature passing of JOEY, it only feels right to go out and celebrate these songs,” said Wednesday 13 in a press statement. “We made two amazing albums that I was very proud of, and unfortunately much of the world didn’t get a chance to hear the songs live. In 2018, we all got together at JOEY’s house and discussed ideas and possibilities for the future, but we both had other immediate plans.

‘After an amazing run through the US performing these songs, we will now take the tour where the band began, in the UK and Europe this October/November. We will be performing tracks from both MURDERDOLLS albums and celebrating the legacy of the band.

“Joining us on a handful of dates in the UK will be Sweden’s rock n’ roll saviours, Hardcore Superstar, and we will join them as support throughout dates across Europe.. We can’t wait to bring this tour to the UK and Europe later this year.”

Slipknot’s founding drummer and Murderdolls co-founder Joey Jordison died aged 46 in 2021. “Joey’s death has left us with empty hearts and feelings of indescribable sorrow,” a statement from Jordison’s family read. “To those that knew Joey, understood his quick wit, his gentle personality, giant heart, and his love for all things family and music.”

Murderdolls released two albums, ‘Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls’ and ‘Women And Children Last’, before Wednesday 13 confirmed in 2013 that they had split up in 2011.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Mum ‘killed children, 7 and 11, because she didn’t want husband to have them’

Share this with

A mum who suspected her husband of having an affair killed her two children because she didn’t want him to gain custody of them, a jury has been told.

Veronique John, 50, allegedly stabbed her son Ethan, 11, more than 20 times and inflicted brain damage on her seven-year-old daughter Elizabeth before finding her husband Nathan at a car wash and stabbing him in the stomach.

She then reportedly returned to her home in Stoke-on-Trent, called 999 and said ‘I am calling to report I just killed my two kids’ on June 11 of last year.

A trial-of-facts hearing is currently underway at Nottingham crown court because John has been found to be ‘under a disability ’ and ‘unable to participate in the trial in any meaningful sense’, judge Mr Justice Choudhury explained to the jury.

John, a charity shop worker, allegedly told police when they arrived at her home: ‘If you have a gun shoot me. I am not a monster – he was going to take them from me.’

She’s also accused of telling interviewing officers later on: ‘I didn’t want my husband to get them.

‘It’s something I was thinking about for a long time – just kill myself and the kids. Unless you guys are offering me the death penalty I have nothing else to say.

‘I did it because I love my children – to protect the children. If there’s any possible way I could be put to death, I would like that. I mean it 100%.’

John was born on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and prosecutor Peter Grieves-Smith said she had searched online ‘Can a foreigner be charged with murder in the UK?’ just hours before she killed her children.

Mr Grieves-Smith said her ‘rage was boiling just under the surface’ a day after she had been arrested for assaulting her husband with a piece of wood.

John and her husband had experienced serious relationship difficulties, with her not wanting him to have an internet-enabled phone.

Two days before the attacks, the jury was told John became angry and hit her husband with a wooden slat while their children were getting ready for bed.

Mr John made a complaint to police, who arrested John at her home on June 10 and interviewed her under caution, opting to issue her with a community resolution notice.

Shortly after 2pm on June 11, John went to the car wash where her husband had stayed the night and stabbed him in the stomach, the court heard.

Recounting what Mr John said in a subsequent 999 call, Mr Grieves-Smith said: ‘My wife just came to the car wash and stabbed me – she said that she had just killed the kids.’

Mr Grieves-Smith added: “What happened on the 11th of June didn’t come out of the blue. Tension grew in the days before. That day she just erupted, killed her children and attacked Nathan.’

Ethan was pronounced dead after being found in a bedroom with a 17cm-long neck wound, while Elizabeth was discovered in the living room, having suffered head trauma and ‘three areas of sharp force’ injury, including to her stomach.

A few minutes before John walked to the car wash, the jury was told a neighbour heard ‘high-pitched screaming and crying that lasted for a little while’.

John, of Flax Street, Stoke, is charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder and an alternative count of wounding, but has been ruled unfit to plead.

The 50-year-old, who is being treated at a secure hospital, was not in the dock to hear the Crown’s opening speech.

Judge Justice Choudhury told the jury: ‘This trial is slightly unusual – the defendant has been found to be under a disability.

‘She is unable to participate in the trial in any meaningful sense.

‘Your task is to decide whether the defendant did the acts of unlawfully inflicting injuries on and killing Ethan and Elizabeth which led to their deaths, and unlawfully inflicting injuries to Mr John.’

The trial continues.
