Hear New Murderdolls Track Now

• 18th Jun 2010

MURDERDOLLS are streaming a brand new track from their forthcoming album, ‘Women And Children Last’ over at link from 5pm GMT today. This is the first new music from the band since the release of 2002’s ‘Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls’, which shifted Silver status on its release and has now racked up over 80,000 sales. ‘Women And Children Last’ hits stores on August 30th.

The track ‘My Dark Place Alone’ will be streamed today, in advance of a free MP3 giveaway of the track, which will commence at 4pm UK time June 22nd at link and last for 48 hours. For anyone who misses the giveaway, the track will be available as a digital single from July 4th on iTunes and all digital retailers.

MURDERDOLLS is the frankenstein brainchild of Joey Jordison and partner-in-grime, Wednesday 13. The band sees Joey step from his day job and masked role behind his revolving drum kit in Slipknot, to low slung lead guitar, whilst Wednesday fronts the band. The duo breathed new life into the project with a brand new line-up, yet their ‘fuck you’ attitude, devilish glamour and trademark black sense of humour remain. Joey and Wednesday are excited to bring back their revamped musical monster, exclaiming, “We don't look at this as a return…this is REVENGE! The music scene today is as boring and stale as it was in 2002, when we first formed the band. And this time around, everyone is the enemy!”

For Jordison, who is spending the summer of 2010 playing drums for Rob Zombie on his US tour, this album is the start of something very important. “I consider ‘Women and Children Last’ the first Murderdolls record,” exclaims the multi-instrumental mastermind. “The music is so much heavier now. Murderdolls haven't lost the fun, crazy vibe, but the topics are smarter. ‘Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls’ was like a sketch and this is the real painting.” To paint this picture with just the right palette, Wednesday dug deep. He declares, “It's definitely personal. I've been doing campy horror lyrics since I was 15-years-old so I wanted to expand beyond that. For the new Murderdolls, I wanted to keep the humour and violence intact, but I wanted to show a different side of the band. I'm singing about life this time, instead of Dracula. If you really want to get down to it, we're a sex-drugs-rock-n-roll band more than anything.”

Murderdolls join label mates Korn on the UK Ozzfest date at London’s O2 Arena on September 18th. Tickets are available from tomorrow at 9am from link.
