A dripping cocktail of glam-horror punk, Murderdolls was born in the early 2000s through the creative madness of Wednesday 13 and Joey Jordison (drummer of Slipknot). From their debut album Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls (2002), the tone was set: snarling riffs, horror-inspired lyrics, and gleeful dark humor. The band proudly embraced a trashy aesthetic mixing B-movie gore, gothic culture, and 1980s sleaze rock attitude.

With members such as Ben Graves, Eric Griffin, Acey Slade, and Tripp Eisen, Murderdolls combined punk energy, Alice Cooper’s shock rock spirit, and Mötley Crüe-style hooks on steroids. Their 2010 comeback album Women and Children Last was heavier, darker, and even more defiant — pure horror rock brilliance.

Following Joey Jordison’s passing in 2021, Murderdolls entered rock history as one of the most iconic side projects of the 2000s. For fans of horror-driven, tongue-in-cheek rock, this band is an essential reference.
