Wednesday 13’s “Rotting Away” Music Video inspired by Tom Petty
Wednesday 13 is currently hitting the road for their Summer Blood Storm UK/European tour and has unveiled a new music video for the song “Rotting Away” from the Mid Death Crisis album. In the visually striking video, the “Duke of Spook” is portrayed enjoying a date with the dead, engaging in a surreal picnic with a petrified soul.
Commenting on the inspiration behind the video, Wednesday 13 expressed his desire to infuse some light-heartedness and creativity into the concept. Drawing influences from classic horror films like “Night of the Living Dead” and music videos such as Tom Petty’s “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” the video aims to capture a sense of whimsy and campiness, with a touch of dark humor reminiscent of “Weekend at Bernie’s.”
Fans can catch Wednesday 13 live in action as he embarks on a series of performances across the UK and Europe, alongside support acts Fearless Vampire Killers and The Nocturnal Affair. The tour includes stops in cities like Birmingham, Prague, Vienna, and will feature festival appearances at esteemed events like Wacken Open Air and Poland Rock Festival. Additionally, a special event honoring the late Joey Jordison is scheduled for October 3 in Los Angeles, presented by the Joey Jordison Charitable Fund and headlined by Vimic at the Teragram Ballroom.
Following the conclusion of the Summer Blood Storm tour, Wednesday 13 will be returning to the UK and Europe for the Mid Death Crisis tour, commencing on October 17 in Oslo, Norway. The tour will see the band performing in various cities including Karlstad, Stockholm, and Berlin, among others. Furthermore, North American fans can look forward to an exciting series of performances in January and February 2026, as Wednesday 13 is set to embark on the Dark Winter Tour alongside headliners LORD OF THE LOST and The Birthday Massacre.
