WEDNESDAY 13 Puts the “Fun” in Funeral with Music Video for New Album Track “Rotting Away”

July 21, 2025
Amid his current Summer Blood Storm UK/European tour, WEDNESDAY 13 has just dropped a delightfully deathly music video for Mid Death Crisis track “Rotting Away”. The Duke of Spook goes on a date with the dead, picnicking with a petrified soul! Watch the new music video below – out now!

WEDNESDAY 13 comments about “Rotting Away”:
“I’m putting the Fun back in Funeral with our new video for ‘Rotting Away’. I had such a great time filming this and wanted to do something fun, campy, and different from the other band performance videos. Inspired by the original Night Of The Living Dead film, Tom Petty’s video “Last dance with Mary Jane” along with a little Weekend at Bernie’s thrown into this.”

WEDNESDAY 13 is currently touring the UK and Europe with support from Fearless Vampire Killers and The Nocturnal Affair, with more performances to slay in cities like Birmingham, Prague, Vienna, and beyond. The tour also features festival stops at Wacken Open Air and Poland Rock Festival. Then, later this fall, Wednesday will return to the UK and Europe for his Mid Death Crisis tour, starting October 17 in Oslo, Norway!

Order the New Album, Mid Death Crisis, HERE:
After returning in 2022 with his widely-acclaimed full-length album Horrifier (#8 US Top New Artist Albums), as well as several major tours supporting his solo work and celebrated Murderdolls reunion shows, the Duke of Spook is back with Mid Death Crisis! WEDNESDAY 13 dubs the album as a fun, campy, “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” rager and a true return to his hard-rocking roots! Produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver) the album oozes infectious 80s sleaze metal energy. Although its title, Mid Death Crisis, may suggest otherwise, WEDNESDAY 13 shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the band’s hall of horrific history!
