Since its inception, Murderdolls has spent more time not being a band rather than being a band. Murderdolls released Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls in 2002, broke up in 2004, got together in 2010 to release Women and Children Last, and then broke up again in 2011. The band's lineup has always consisted of Wednesday 13 (Wednesday 13) on vocals and Joey Jordison (ex-Slipknot) on drums, and has also features the likes of now non-jailed ex-Static X guitarist Tripp Eisen.
While you shouldn't be holding your breath for a reunion, 13 tells Metal Hammer it could very well happen in 2019. The reason he chooses 2019 is because it's the first year he doesn't have anything scheduled, and apparently he's heard that Jordison has expressed some interest in doing it.
"If it does happen, then it will probably be in 2019, because this year and next year with my record I'm going to be touring non-stop. I've got my year pretty much booked … But I think the idea of us doing something in future and doing shows would be a great idea. I don't see why we couldn't. In my mind, if we did anything first, it would be a couple of shows or some festivals. Just to get out, do some shows, and play those songs first before we even think about a record is where my mind is.
"The band's been around 15 years this year — it's kind of classic at this point. I would love to have Murderdolls be something I do on the side here and there, and Joey has his own projects that keep him happy, but why not do it on the side?"
If anything, Murderdolls is oddly consistent in its major gaps. There was an eight year gap between the first two records, so maybe we'll get a nine year gap between Women And Children Last and whatever comes next, and then 10 full years between the third and fourth. So remember to keep a lookout for Murderdolls IV: Y'All Are Too Old For This Shit in 2029.
