An Australian music success story, Hobart's own Kim Dracula is returning home, and they're bringing Murderdolls' Wednesday 13 with them.
An artist straddling nu-metal, trap, industrial, jazz, and hyperpop, Kim Dracula's 2020 metal cover of Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi' propelled them to global stardom, the journey leading to collaborations with the likes of Korn's Jonathan Davis as well as Tech N9ne and SeeYouSpaceCowboy, plus In This Moment (their single 'Heretic' was released last month).
After the release of their debut album 'A Gradual Decline In Morale' in 2023 (which featured the Jonathan Davis collab 'Seventy Thorns' as well as a joint with fellow misfit Kirin J Callinan), Kim Dracula returns down under in November.
The six-date tour will visit Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth. "Australia, I'm finally coming home.
"Join us as we journey through the country with the legendary Wednesday 13 as we give you an experience you will never forget. Best you prepare yourselves, Australia 👹!"
With a live show offering a sensory overload that blends theatricality, raw energy, and genre-bending chaos (think tongue-in-cheek horror like wielding chainsaws and emerging from coffins), the pairing with Wednesday 13 is a stroke of evil genius. Fast and dirty, raw, chaotic and macabre.
Set to spend the rest of the American summer touring with Ice Nine Kills and Dayseeker, Kim Dracula also performed to their biggest ever crowd at the recent Hellfest in France.
"We performed in front of 50,000 people at Hellfest reportedly, making it the biggest show we have ever played," Kim posted. "To see years of hard work pay off in real time is quite a feeling.
"The camera couldn't capture the sheer width and length of that crowd, but I can tell you it was truly mind-blowing being up there, with an endless sea of people on the horizon. Thank you for all you do, truly 🧑🏻✈️!"
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 8 August.
