Wednesday 13 has unveiled the video for the title track of his new album 'Condolences'.
The track is the latest shared from the shock-rocker's new album, which is out today on Nuclear Blast. Wednesday said:
"We weren't trying to do a really long, Iron Maiden-type of song - it just came out that way. It wasn't forced and I think it's awesome! It's one of the first songs I wrote for the record. The title, Condolences, came from when David Bowie passed away; I kept seeing 'Condolences, sorry for your loss.' I realised how powerful that word was, so I picked my guitar up and started writing the riff for it; I had the chorus instantly."
We shortened the song for the video - we cut two minutes off of it. But it's still a really, really dark song. And I think we captured that vibe in the video. It's definitely the strangest thing I've ever done - I filmed my fake funeral. I had all my friends there, putting flowers on a casket; it was really weird! I had a wreath that said, 'In Memory of Wednesday 13.' I'm the priest in it, doing my eulogy, and I'm also inside the casket, like I'm being buried alive. When we filmed the video, the director, Matt Zane, said, 'This reminds me of Twisted Sister - Burn In Hell or Captain Howdy. And I was like, 'Holy shit, it does! I didn't even realise it."
Wednesday 13 tops the bill on the Dogtooth Stage at Download festival on June 10, following warm up shows in Dublin and Belfast.
