    Ward XVI is a unique and innovative theatrical ensemble known for its immersive performances that blend dark storytelling with captivating visuals.
    Originating from the Northwest of England, the group explores the sordid past of a female serial killer through a distinctive mix of drama, music, and puppetry. Their notable productions often invite audiences to engage directly with the narrative, creating a haunting yet thought-provoking experience.
    With a commitment to pushing creative boundaries, Ward XVI has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated following, establishing itself as a standout in the rock and metal scene whilst showing the versatility to adapt their stage show from the Club circuit to renowned venues like the London Roundhouse and Liverpool Olympia to the larger festival stages of Bloodstock, whether it be headlining their own shows or acting as support for artists such as Skindred, Cradle of Filth and Lawnmower Deth.
    Ward XVI’s previous (and full length second) album Metamorphosis won many awards including 3x #1 Album of the year and featured in Devolution Magazine's Top 10 albums of the Year, Total Rock's Top 20 albums of the year and Powerplay Magazine's Top 30 albums of the year.
    ID3NTITY, the stunning conclusion of Psychoberrie’s story - a sordid tale 10 blood-soaked years in the telling.
    ID3NTITY sees WARD XVI push their musical and theatrical boundaries further and harder than ever before. Inspired by every experience gained over the last 10 years to produce an album BIGGER... BADDER... MADDER than ever before.
    If you want blood... you got it.

Blood is the new Black Am I this person? Am I blessed? Am I cursed? Can I take on this burden? Or will my fake smile worsen? My past being so tragic Happiness seems so plastic Money can't ever take away The picture of his face You can take away my identity But you can't erase the rest of me When I close my eyes he's next to me He already pulled apart the best of me A new life A new start A new face Such a work of art It's time I start to face the fact Blood is the new black The Asylum must fall And the Doctor must die Time to burn this place down Burn it down to the ground There is no holding back This is an arson attack That's for everything that they did to me For killing every bit of hope and my dignity For the inmate who sat in the cell next to me Who never returned from her lobotomy Why am I still here, had the nurses forgotten me? Or was I just cast out like I'm rotten meat? Sent out through the front with a knife in my back Blood is the new Black We’re Just good for nothing murderers They don't care if they be hurting us We're just Laboratory mice Not human in their eyes They feel justified but I would say that they are worse than us They're murderers Now Our saviour has returned to us The whole buildings in a blaze We're free from the cage It’s time to tear this place up This is our chance to escape Get up and kill We won't be chained Break the walls We will see the sunrise Every single……………… who stuck their wires in my brain Never gonna see tomorrow I will make them feel the pain I feel when I walk a path of broken bones and splintered teeth Of sanguine taste and true belief I take a name badge out of a filled black body bag Wear it round my neck like a dog tag This is a war Let the walls come down Inmates free to raid the town Paint our faces Like ………………… beetlejuice clowns I release you from your cells Now go raise hell and pay it back Time to paint this town red Because blood is the new black
