In a brand new interview with BrokeHorrorFan.com, Wednesday 13 was once again asked about the current status of MURDERDOLLS, his one-time project with former SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison. He responded: "MURDERDOLLS turns 15 years old next year, and it took on a life of its own. It's in the fans' hands at this point. To me, it's rock and roll. I could put any drama or differences aside to go out and play music for our fans. That's what it comes down to at the end of the day. You do this for such a long time — even with the WEDNESDAY 13 [solo] stuff — it's as much the fans as it is me these days, because I need them to live. That's how it works. You don't alienate that. I always feel that people want what they want." He continued: "That was a cool time, because MURDERDOLLS is why I'm here today. If that hadn't happened, I don't know… Joey pulled me out of obscurity and gave me a career, and I'm forever indebted to him for that. No matter any behind the scenes, whatever's going on with that — it's nobody's business, really — but I always say: at the end of the day, if the fans wanted it and he was into doing it, I would definitely entertain the idea of doing it." MURDERDOLLS issued its sophomore album, "Women And Children Last", in August 2010 via Roadrunner Records. The CD, which was recorded at a studio in Hollywood Hills, California with producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD), sold 8,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 43 on The Billboard 200 chart. In an interview with the Classic 21 radio station at the 2013 edition of the Graspop Metal Meeting, Jordison — who played guitar for MURDERDOLLS — was asked if the band had officially come to an end. "Yeah. We're not doing anymore records," Joey replied. He elaborated in a separate interview with Metal Insider: "Nothing really happened [to cause the end of the MURDERDOLLS]. I really loved the last MURDERDOLLS record ['Women And Children Last']. It's just that, for me personally, I had enough of it, you know? I mean, it was fun but it's not where my heart lies in music. I lie more with drums and the more heavy and darker aspects of music. I need to push myself in different areas and I can't rely on the MURDERDOLLS to satisfy me artistically."
