Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls, the debut from Hollywood horror punk supergroup Murderdolls, came out on Roadrunner Records, and it's a B-movie drive-in of a record: buzzsaw punk riffs welded to metal muscle, with a leering grin behind every chorus. The core of the band was Wednesday 13, who sang and played bass, and Joey Jordison, who handled drums, guitar and bass, with Eric Griffin on guitar and Ben Graves on drums filling out the gang.
"Dead in Hollywood" is the calling card, a sneering, snotty singalong. The original pressing ran to 15 tracks, and a later reissue added six bonus cuts. America didn't bite at first, but the album did better overseas, reaching number 40 on the UK Albums Chart and doing well in Europe, Australia and Japan, and it still sold 100,000 copies in the U.S. Women and Children Last didn't follow until 2010.
