When Slipknot was on a break in 2002, Joey Jordison got together with Wednesday 13 from Frankenstein Dragqueens From Planet 13 to crank out some fine horrorpunk tunes. With solid riffs and a sick sense of humour, they managed to amuse the hell out of me and I’ve been hoping for a sequel to “Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls” ever since. Sure, Wednesday 13’s solo output was a lot of fun as well but still…

It took them eight long years to get back together to write some more songs about demons, ghouls and other creatures of the night but it was well worth the wait. On “Women And Children Last” you are treated to more of the same with furious asskickers like “Chapel Of Blood” and “My Dark Place Alone”. “Nowhere” on the other hand is one of the best songs Alice Cooper never wrote and yes, that is Mötley Crüe’s Mick Mars you’re hearing on “Blood Stained Valentine”. It makes “Women And Children Last” an all-round fun time for the whole family… if your family consists of a bunch of sick and twisted degenerates.
