When did rock become so... undramatic??
Well we’re WARD XVI and we’re here to change that! You are cordially invited into our world of shock rock and serial killers - dare you enter the asylum?
This is a journey more akin to a heavier and more sinister Rocky Horror picture show. Each song is a different rollercoaster of emotion, some are dark and symphonic whilst others are filled with fire and brimstone whilst all being tied together with the use some catchy hard hitting riffs and belting solos.
We don't just break boundaries with our music, we smash them. We take all sorts genres and flip-turn them on their heads. Inspired by Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden - and spurred further by Ghost and Earache Records’ very own Skindred - our new album ‘Id3ntity’ brings you the chilling tale of the femme fatale Psychoberrie.
“This is rock performance art at its best – so delectably disturbing.” - Metal Talk
“If you love 80s horror movie gore and ghoulish Gothic circus then you will love, and I mean LOVE, Ward XVI!” - My Global Mind
“They riff hard and heavy for future circus or circle pits.” - Planet Mosh
“Musically they merge rock and metal with prog and demented circus-type music whilst telling a story which in places reminded me in part of Welcome To My Nightmare by Alice Cooper, Scenes From A Memory from Dream Theater and The Wall by Pink Floyd along with a dash of The Musical Box by Genesis’. (CMCM podcast) “
