Albums such as “Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead” (2005), “Fang Bang” (2006), and “Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague” (2015) have gained recognition from fans of horror punk and metal.
Besides working with the band, Wednesday 13 is also known for solo projects and collaborations with other artists from the metal and punk scenes. His live performances are known for their theatricality and engaging the audience, often using special effects and costumes inspired by horror films.
