Career history

Surman's long-standing partnership with Joseph Poole began with Surman becoming a guitar-tech for Poole's solo band. He first performed as a touring guitarist in Bourbon Crow, an Outlaw country side project Poole had put together in 2006. Surman was assistant editor and music composer for a short video release by Poole called "Weirdo A-Go-Go" in 2008.[2] In 2009 Poole put together another side project, a glam metal band called Gunfire 76, releasing one album "Casualties and Tragedies" in October 2009. They toured the UK with "The First Blood Tour" in December of that year.

In 2010, Poole and Joey Jordison reformed Murderdolls after an eight year hiatus, selecting a different line-up, including Surman as rhythm guitarist. He toured with the band until the second breakup in 2011. He recorded guitar tracks for their second studio album Women and Children Last. After the breakup, Wednesday 13 continued as a solo band with Surman as lead guitarist. He first appeared on 2011's Calling All Corpses and has been on every Wednesday 13 release and tour since[3] except for the Undead Unplugged album, though he was part of the tour.

He was co-credited with Poole on five tracks on 2015's Monsters of the Universe: Come Out and Plague and had a solo writing credit for "Planet Eater: Interstellar 187", the first time a Wednesday 13 song was credited entirely to someone other than Poole, not including covers and co-credits.
