Following their pummeling sets opening for Guns N’ Roses, the MURDERDOLLS return to level Europe in early 2011! It will be their first full European headline tour in over six years.

The band have just wrapped a three-week US amphitheatre tour, opening for Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper’s pyro-laden ‘Halloween Hootenanny’ tour, picking up plenty of new fans on the way. Murderdolls also just played their own Halloween headline show in Hollywood, CA at The Roxy.

Frontman Wednesday 13 is excited for the trip back to Europe, stating "The Death Valley Superstars are on their way! You've got blood and we'll take it". Meanwhile, guitarist and co-songwriter Joey Jordison adds: “This is gonna top anything we've ever done there. Can't wait to see all of you. Let's party, motherfuckers!! I NEED THIS!!”

The band’s first album in eight years, ‘Women And Children Last’ picked up stellar reviews from the European press on its August release, including 4/5 in Q Magazine, and 4/5 in The Sun (‘..gloriously trashy, sleazy, punk-metal’) and 8/10 in Metal Hammer (“The Murderdolls are back -they’re pissed off and this time they mean every fucking last word of it.”). Pick it up here.
