During an interview with KNAC.COM, Wednesday 13 opened up about his late Murderdolls bandmate Joey Jordison (ex-Slipknot). The frontman also revealed that Jordison was hoping to reunite the band prior to his death.

Wednesday 13 said the following when asked if Murderdolls recorded any new material before Jordison’s passing:

“Unfortunately, no. But in 2018 WEDNESDAY 13 was on tour and we went through Iowa. We actually had two days off, for some reason, and we went to Joey’s house. It was the first time I’d seen him since he parted ways with SLIPKNOT. It had been years; I hadn’t seen him since 2011. And we talked, we hugged, we had awesome food.

When Joey and I would get back together, it was [like we picked up where we left off] — talking about the same movies, same dumb stuff. It’s just like you do with an old friend — you just instantly click. And he was just like… Thinking back on it, I wanna kick myself ’cause he’s not here anymore. And I wish I would have acted on it. But that day at his house, he was, like, ‘I wanna do MURDERDOLLS again. We’ve gotta do it. We’ve gotta do it. I wanna do it right now.’ And I was, like, ‘I can’t do it right this second.’ I was, like, ‘I’ve gotta do this…. I’m doing this new album.’ I’d already started working [on it]. It seemed like he was excited about it to do it right then, and then I kind of kept him waiting. And then I came back to him right at the very beginning of the pandemic and was, like, ‘Yo, it looks like the world’s shutting down. You wanna work on a new album and do this?’ And he came back and was, like, ‘That sounds cool, man. I’ve gotta a couple things I’m working on. I’ll get back to you.’ And then, the world just kept changing. Everyone started doing their own thing. I started working on [WEDNESDAY 13’s 2022 album] ‘Horrifier’. And then, about a month before his passing, like 10:30 in the morning, I get a text from Joey and he sent me a video. He was watching ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’. That was like our movie; that was like our horror movie. ‘The Jerk’ with Steve Martin and ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ [were] our two movies. And The Hitchhiker; I was always quoting The Hitchhiker from ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’. And there’s a part in the movie where he pulls a knife out and he’s like, ‘I have this knife, I’ve got this knife.’ And I used to always say that, and we did it on a video, and then it became like this thing with our fans. They were holding up signs that showed ‘I have this knife’, and it became our little thing. And he texted me and he sent me a video of him watching The Hitchhiker with the knife. And he writes, ‘I have this knife.’ We should write that on the next album. And I was, like. ‘Yeah.’ So I have to write that song now. So that will be on the next WEDNESDAY 13 [album] — ‘I Have This Knife’. And, actually, I’m having The Hitchhiker from ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ at my show in Dallas; he’s my special guest. So, hopefully, if I record this song, I’ll have him on that song.”

As previously reported, Wednesday 13 will performing full Murderdolls sets during tours in North America (dates HERE), Europe (dates HERE) and Australia (dates HERE).
