MURDERDOLLS Frontman Hasn't Spoken To JOEY JORDISON In Two And A Half Years
November 3, 2013During a brand new interview with Australia's Loud magazine, Wednesday 13 was asked once again if there is any chance of him and SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison regrouping anytime soon to work on a new MURDERDOLLS studio album.. "I haven't spoken to Joey in almost two and a half years," Wednesday 13 said. "The communication lines have been closed for quite some time and I'm not given to why or anything. But it's the same as last time, you know. We didn't talk for years and it took us eight years to get back in the studio. It's very rock and roll. It's very dysfunctional and that band has played with dysfunction from the very beginning to the last part, on all sides. So if it happens again... I didn't expect it to happen the last time I did it, so I'm just going to leave it up to fate."
MURDERDOLLS issued its sophomore album, "Women And Children Last", in August 2010 via Roadrunner Records. The CD, which was recorded at a studio in Hollywood Hills, California with producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD),sold 8,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 43 on The Billboard 200 chart.
In an interview with the Classic 21 radio station at this year's Graspop Metal Meeting, which was held June 28-30 in Dessel, Belgium, Jordison was asked if the MURDERDOLLS has officially come to an end. "Yeah. We're not doing anymore records," Joey replied. He elaborated in a separate interview with Metal Insider: "Nothing really happened [to cause the end of the MURDERDOLLS]. I really loved the last MURDERDOLLS record ['Women And Children Last']. It's just that, for me personally, I had enough of it, you know? I mean, it was fun but it's not where my heart lies in music. I lie more with drums and the more heavy and darker aspects of music. I need to push myself in different areas and I can't rely on the MURDERDOLLS to satisfy me artistically."
In a May 2012 interview, Wednesday was a little bit more optimistic about MURDERDOLLS' future, saying: "I love the band. It got me where I am. The last record we put out, 'Women And Children Last', it may be my favorite record I've ever put out — just because there was so much intensity in that record and just such a good time put into it. And if the band never happens again, we never do anything again, I know we went out on a high note with that record. And we got to do as much touring as we possibly could. Unfortuantely, some stuff got cut short. But yeah, man, that was a big part of my life again, and if it happens again, it happens; and if it doesn't, it doesn't. I hate to say it's never gonna happen, and then you see another one of those 'reunion' tours. So I'll just leave it open."
