13 by The Livewires

Many rivers had been crossed... many mountains had been summited... but there was one that The Livewires, for a long time, were too scared to climb. No longer.

Mount Metal is conquered today.

For their 13th studio album, The Livewires had little choice of what to do. The suits over at Rectal Exam Records had noticed the public reaction to The Livewires hard 'n' heavy new direction that they had recently pioneered, and they weren't going to let the boys pussy out until they reached the highest peak of heavy music: metal.

For the appropriately-titled "13," the band lineup was cut to just three members; a brand new, never-before-assembled group consisting of Ben, Stephen and Nathan (making his first appearance since "Balls").

The Livewires exit their comfort zone in every way on this record, with lyrical topics ranging from beautiful girls to demons, serial killers and metal itself. Pair that with the heaviest music the band has made to date, and you're in for one hell of an ass kickin'!

Sit down, strap in and shut up, because the metal train is about to leave the station, and you don't wanna end up on the track in front of these bad boys!

For over five years, The Livewires (Ben Ackley, Dillon Buck, Declan Cady, Stephen Fortney, Nathan Madery, and Addison Soule) have plied the waters of the seven musical seas. Their prolific output (20+ albums!) has seen them touch rock, electronica, country, experimental, metal, and much more.

All of their albums, previously only available on SoundCloud, are now available for download here!
