Wednesday 13 - Condolences (Nuclear Blast) 2017
7
The classic twist of evil, B-movie weirdness and the trademark lyrics mark the return of Wednesday 13 with his finest, heaviest and most solid effort ever. Condolences is indeed a departure from his punk rock/glam past, not saying that the album is completely devoid of Alice Cooper, Ramones or Misfits brushstrokes, but this time around everything sounds more tight and diverse: a full-on modern metal album free of clichés. Stomping into a far more epic territory, Condolences is packed with killer material, sounds unapologetically dangerous and it’s Wednesday 13’s starkest and most unpredictable, not to mention his most creative, release.
