Wednesday 13 Talks Upcoming "Un-Alive" Live Album, Gene Simmons, John 5, and Horror Lore on The David Ellefson Show
The Duke of Spook himself, Wednesday 13, recently sat down with Megadeth legend David Ellefson and co-host Joshua Toomey on The David Ellefson Show for a near 40-minute dive into his upcoming releases, tour plans, and horror pop culture. There's a hell of a lot to cover here, so let's get right into it.
Gearing Up for Un-Alive (Out September 25th via Napalm)
A huge chunk of the chat focused on Wednesday 13’s brand-new live album, Un-Alive, which officially drops this Friday, September 25th through Napalm Records. Captured live in front of roughly 750,000 screaming fans at PolandRock Festival, Wednesday dropped the set around 8:00 PM and let the tapes roll. While he openly admitted to hating his 2008 live release, Un-Alive is his redemption arc. There are zero overdubs, no studio tricks, and no fixes—just raw, unfiltered horror-punk energy inspired by classics like KISS Alive!
