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.
