“Pig Hog is the only cable that we trust and rely on to get us through the horrors of touring. They’ve always been our 1st choice on the road, providing us with the best and most reliable quality instrument cables.” — Wednesday 13

"Pig Hog may be the single best product that we’ve used. In the many years that we've had Pig Hog gear in our setup, both in the studio and all over the world, we have not had a single cable fail. The quality is insane!" — Jack Tankersley 

Wednesday 13 is the stage name of American singer, musician, and horror enthusiast Joseph Poole. Well known as the frontman for Hollywood horror-punk/heavy metal group Murderdolls led by the late great Joey Jordison. They recorded and released their debut album ‘Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls’ in 2002 by Roadrunner Records. Their triumphant 2010 return, ‘Women And Children Last’, won them the Revolver Golden Gods 'Comeback Of The Year’ Award. These masterpieces were like nothing else, fast and dirty, raw and macabre. Drawing lyrical inspiration from classic horror, each track is full of tongue-in-cheek horror done to perfection. Murderdolls slithered their way to the top of the horrendous heights of rock amassing a colossal cult-following along the way.

In 2004, Wednesday 13, released the EP '6 Years, 6 Feet Under the Influence' which was followed by the full-length 'Transylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead' in 2005. A massive box set called 'Little Box of Horrors' followed by 'Fang Bang' was released in 2006. The significantly heavier and darker 'Skeletons' dropped in 2008, followed by the equally brooding 'Calling All Corpses in 2011'. 'The Dixie Dead' the project's fifth studio long-player arrived in 2013, followed by 'Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague' (2015) and 'Condolences' (2017), the latter of which was the group's first outing for Nuclear Blast.

For their eighth album W13 teamed up with Michael Spreitzer to produce and engineer the recording sessions for 2019's Necrophaze. This album also saw the group featuring guest spots with Alice Cooper, Roy Mayorga, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia along for the horror-filled ride. The LP became the group's highest charting effort to date, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.  Source — AllMusic

'Horrifier' (2022) was produced and recorded by Wednesday 13 with mixing and mastering by Brent Clawson, and features stunning album artwork by Jonny Bush. A dynamic journey into Wednesday's 20-year career-spanning sound, 'Horrifier' revitalizes with something for every listener to latch onto – boasting intensely fun horror punk energy with gruesome metallic attitude!
