Over the years, Wednesday 13 has released several studio albums, each further developing their distinctive sound and themes. 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.
Wednesday 13 and his band remain active on the music scene, touring and releasing new materials that continue the tradition of horror punk with a unique, recognizable style.
