The master of horror strikes again! Wednesday 13 continues his cavalcade of nightmares with Necrophaze, an album set in a horror movie! And who better to serve as the narrator to this ghastly delight than the legend of shock himself Alice Cooper. Full of lyrical twists and turns, the music is strongly developed and devilishly brings this story to life. With blade in hand, Necrophaze slashes its way to #11 on our countdown.

In a BW feature, Wednesday 13 remarked about the album having a ‘80s horror movie aesthetic: “I think so too. I don’t know if bands really do that anymore, cause honestly, I don’t really listen to too much anymore. Not that I’m being… I’m so busy. When I do listen to music, I usually throw on Eddie Money or James Brown or some soundtrack just to chill out. So, I don’t know if bands do a cinematic approach to a record where it takes you in. I wanted this one to be a haunted house, a fun house. Alice is kind of the conductor, he’s welcoming you in. You open the door and it’s just like a roller coaster ride taking you on different ins and outs; dark places and fun places. Then it spits you out and you’re like, ‘Fuck, that was awesome! Let’s do it again!’ That was the whole goal with Necrophaze, and I think we pulled that off. We didn’t make it a long record; it’s just long enough where you go, ‘Fuck, I want to play it again.’”

Wednesday 13 also discussed the role of Alice Cooper revealing, “Basically, this is an audio horror film, so to speak. Alice Cooper is the Necromaster. In my mind, the way I vision it, he’s the creator. I’ve said it before, he’s the reason I do what I do. He’s Dr. Frankenstein and he’s created this new – the next phase, which is Necrophaze; me, Wednesday 13. Alice has been a supporter of what I do for years, so to me, it was the ultimate goal to achieve, and we finally did it. I couldn’t be happier. It still gives me goose bumps when I listen to it.”
