John 5 Taps 'Duke of Spook' Wednesday 13 for Debut Vocalist Role in The Creatures

John 5 is about to break the silence. The prolific guitarist has announced that his solo outfit, The Creatures, will finally introduce a frontman for the summer and autumn 2027 touring season: none other than the Duke of Spook himself, Wednesday 13.

This isn't just a standard collaboration; it marks the first time John's band will feature a dedicated vocalist. To celebrate this milestone, the duo plans to take a nostalgic sledgehammer to John's extensive musical history, performing tracks from his stints with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Mötley Crüe, and David Lee Roth.

A theatrical collision of heavy metal royalty and horror-punk showmanship.

The road to 2027 kicks off with a massive statement of intent at Wacken Open Air in Germany. John 5 expressed his excitement about reclaiming these classic anthems, noting that having such a formidable showman like Wednesday 13 on stage ensures the performances will be absolute killers.

Wednesday 13, a mainstay of the horror-rock scene since the days of Murderdolls, echoed this sentiment. The pair have shared stages and friendship since 2010, making this reunion of sorts a natural evolution for both artists as they prepare to bring some theatrical carnage to the European circuit.
