Murderdolls is a collaboration between Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison (who moved over to guitar for this project) and Static-X guitarist Tripp Eisen. Landing somewhere between the aggressive throb of rap metal and the energetic charge of hardcore punk, Murderdolls formed when the two toured together during the 1999 Ozzfest. Drafting singer Wednesday 13, bassist Eric Griffin, and drummer Ben Graves into the mix, the band recorded and released Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls in 2002.
