During an interview in the brand new issue of Metal Hammer, goth metal mainstay Wednesday 13 spoke about his time in Murderdolls: the glam-punk side-project of Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. 13 – who last year released his ninth solo album, Horrifier – fronted the band from 2002 until their break-up two years later, then again during a brief 2010 reunion. However, as the singer revealed to Metal Hammer writer Dave Everley, he had little idea who Jordison was when he first got the call to join.
“[Slipknot] just weren’t the sort of thing I listened to at home,” 13 explained – despite The Nine being hot off the lauded and, in the UK, chart-topping Iowa album at the time. He later added that, upon meeting Jordison, “I said, ‘So you’re in Slipknot? Now, which one are you?’ And he goes, ‘I’m the cool-looking one.’ We just both started laughing and that was it.”
