The undeniable pairing of Slipknot's Joey Jordison and Wednesday 13 is more precisely pissed-off than ever before. Rock ‘n’ roll’s newest villains are here and they’re called Murderdolls. Politically incorrect, playfully violent and happily inconsiderate, they’re back for more blood and back for revenge on their brand new album ‘Women and Children Last’. ”Murderdolls have unleashed a sinfully satisfying experience of an album steeped in horrifyingly humorous lyrics and ravenous riffage." – The New Review
