US horror‑punk/gothic/glam‑metal icon Wednesday 13 delivers the second electrifying preview from his forthcoming live album Un‑Alive From Pol’and’Rock 2025, due out 25 September via Napalm Records. This blistering rendition of the Transylvania 90210 favourite “I Want You Dead” distils everything that has defined Wednesday’s legacy — venomous attitude, macabre swagger, and hooks sharp enough to take the crowd hostage.
Ferocious, unhinged, and irresistibly catchy, the performance channels the chaos and theatre that have long made Wednesday 13 a cult figure. Even if we weren’t among the sea of bodies at Pol’and’Rock, this recording lets listeners experience the dark spectacle vicariously — a snapshot of Weds and his cohorts at their most incendiary.
Frontman Wednesday 13 reflects on the track: “‘I Want You Dead’ is another classic track and fan favourite from the debut album. This song has remained a staple in our live show and always gets the audience screaming. Over the years many Wednesday 13 song titles have been influenced by movies, bands, and pop culture, and this song is no different. The title was a play on Cheap Trick’s ‘I Want You to Want Me’, as if it were written about a graveyard romance. Listen to it now loud, and Un‑Alive from Pol’and’Rock!!”
The previously released single and live video “Look What The Bats Dragged In” is also available over HERE for viewing, in case you missed its arrival a few weeks back.
With Un‑Alive from Pol’and’Rock 2025, Wednesday 13 continues to prove why his twisted universe remains one of the most entertaining corners of the horror‑punk realm — a place where camp, chaos, and razor‑sharp songwriting collide under the glow of a cemetery moon. Link
