35 year old Wednesday 13 has been releasing music since 1994, and has such spent half of his life perfecting his horror punk stylings. Having released albums as part of Maniac Spider Trash, Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, The Murderdolls, Bourbon Crow and Gunfire 76, his latest solo album - the fourth studio album of his solo career - "Calling All Corpses" doesn't stray from the formula, and gives another entertaining 45 minute listen.
Opening (and closing in reprise form) with the bizarre "Blood Fades to Black" the rest of the album is straight up horror punk from the king of the genre. "I Wanna Be Cremated" sets the tone pretty well for a fun filled romp of an album which at no point takes itself too seriously.
The content of this record is nothing new for Wednesday, but it doesn't need to be. Enjoyable, fun and very listenable. Not a bad effort.
*** 1/2
