The Murderdolls is a rock band with Tripp Eisen, Joey Jordison, Wednesday 13, Eric Griffin, and Ben Graves. The band formed in 1999 and signed a record deal with RoadRunner Records and RoadRunner International. With the release of their debut album, Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls,
the Murderdolls themselves are hoping to bring a change to the music world.
"I think a lot of kids will be medicated by this record, because it's not just another
record with depressing lyrics," says Murderdolls guitarist Joey Jordison,
who made his name with his other band, Slipknot. "To me, that's the point.
What would be the point of doing something remotely like Slipknot?
I don't play drums in this band, I don't wear a mask in this band, and the music is a polar opposite. While still being heavy, it's a breath of fresh air compared to what I normally do.” "It's not like we're writing Weird Al Yankovic comedy stuff," clarifies frontman Wednesday 13, "but how do you take these Friday The 13th movies seriously? They put funny things into them, and it's like that with our songs.
There's not anything on this record that's been based on personal experiences. They're all like short stories." "It really doesn't even matter what's going on in music
today, because we'd be doing this regardless," says guitarist Tripp Eisen, also of industrial-metal band Static-X. "Bands are out there trying to do something with an image, but we're going to go out there and annihilate all of that." Murderdolls began as The Rejects more than seven years ago - the brainchild of Jordison long before Slipknot hit it big. He met Eisen while touring together in '99, and the guitarist-
then of Dope - recruited Wednesday as a bassist.
