Synopsis

Amazon.com
Even Marilyn Manson keeps a layer of latex between himself and the kind of glammy grit collected by the Murderdolls, a side project of guitarists Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Tripp Eisen of Static X. From beneath their blackened fingernails come purpled scraps clawed from the hallowed tombs of the Damned and other groovy ghoulies; "Dead in Hollywood" even name-checks the late horror-movie star Vincent Price. Primarily the brainchild of Jordison, who plays nearly every note on this recording, the raucous punk bombast here mostly conceals any canned atmosphere. While the monotonous "Die My Bride" is pale, the good-time, guitar-driven "Dawn of the Dead" draws blood with a playful sneer. Overall vibe: Every night is Halloween, so let's party! --Ian Christe

"The Murderdolls are not punk, metal, Slipknot, The Misfits, Marilyn Manson, Rob/White Zombie,Alice Cooper, or Dope.



The Murderdolls are a mix of shock rock, horror rock, and glam rock. They're music is not meant to be revolutionary, introspective, or taken seriously. They're music is meant to be taken like a B horror movie, a standard plot with b-list actors, and pleanty of cheesy camp and gore. You don't watch it for the amazing special effects, the inspired acting, or the deep story, you watch it because the worse the movie gets, the more fun you have. In that respect, they more than live up to their image. Where they fail, though, is keeping everything together through the entire album. A necrophelia inspired date (She Was A Teenage Zombie), a love song to Regan of The Exorcist (Love At First Fright), and a grave robbing theme song (Grave Robbin' USA) should give you an idea of just how campy and cheesy things get.



The songs do sound the same, and while most of the songs are catchy, some are a little difficult to get into. This is also a love/hate band, so if you don't like them the first time around, you probably won't give them another listen. If you do happen to get into this album, definately check out Wednseday 13's first band, Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, and his solo work."
