Editor's note

Wednesday 13's horror punk and metal theater

The stage name for James Christ, who mixes macabre themes with punk and metal sounds.

If you want the vibe, start with 'Hands Of The Ripper' or 'Films.' They frame the whole thing pretty well.

Wednesday 13's music leans into horror with a theatrical edge that feels lived-in, not just campy. Songs like 'Good Day To Be a Bad Guy' and 'I Walked With A Zombie' turn B-movie tropes into catchy, riff-heavy anthems. It's a specific corner of punk that doesn't take itself too seriously, but still packs a punch.

He started out playing guitar in the horror punk band Murderdolls before launching his own project. His first album as Wednesday 13 was 2005's 'Transylvania 90210,' and he's kept putting out records like 'Skeletons' and 'Condolences' with a rotating group of musicians. The lyrics have drawn some criticism for being graphic, but he's stuck to that horror-inspired vein.

After that group ended, he began releasing music under the Wednesday 13 name, drawing on horror themes and a mix of punk and metal sounds. Songs like 'Good Day To Be a Bad Guy' and 'I Walked With A Zombie' show his taste for theatrical, macabre subject matter.

His first album as Wednesday 13 was 2005's 'Transylvania 90210.' He's put out several others since, including 'Skeletons' in 2008 and 'Condolences' in 2017. The music often features a rotating group of musicians, with past collaborators including guitarist Roman Surman and bassist Kid Kid.
