1. Formed in 1992 in New York, 13 are a sludge/doom metal band with members of Electric Wizard and Sourvein.
With lyrics that often focus on alienation and abuse, they started out as Thunderpussy 13 in 1990. Guitarist Liz Buckingham, and drummer Ellen Mieczkowski, were the founders of this creation. After dropping the name 'Thunderpussy', they recruited singer Alicia Morgan (who is also the girlfriend of Mike Williams of Eyehategod) and bassist, Sean in 1992 (who left in 1993).
Inspired by Celtic Frost, St. Vitus, Melvins, Winter and Mountains, their mission was to play music "that hurts you physically when you hear it!". Their first demo contained three songs and had a guest appearance by native New Yorker Dan Lilker of Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth.
They also did split 7"s with Grief (a band they were closely tied with) from Boston, MA, on Grievance Records and Eyehategod. After playing several shows in and outside of New York with bands such as Pungent Stench, St. Vitus, Buzzoven, Misery, Chaos UK, Cathedral, Pentagram, and Incantation, and releasing the single Hollow on Relapse Records, the band called it quits. 13's Liz and Alicia also recorded with members of Eyehategod in a side project called Never, and Liz is currently playing with Electric Wizard.

Whore
13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep draining fear the hole
Prone preying forced to kneel
Penetrated left to fall
All sacred offed to steal
Circled eyes of mauve
A plea, locked far away
Call me the whore
(...I heard exhortations of angels, yet they were false and impure, calling me forth to lure me into some false sense of serenity, into believing if I just chose to annihilate the pain through enforcement of carefully placed neglect I could take control and banish these demons forever...)
To hear your solemn promise torn
Bled reason, remains to scorn
Seen through the lies, where left these
Truths meant to swallow whole
Only suffer promise of
(He put a pillow over her face and spread her scrawny legs
One finger, two fingers, breathe, breathe, blackness)
When all the words collapse
Wasted pretty bruise is born
So we see where limbs break
This for naught
(...They implored me to go back, tj return to the place held holy and secure but I felt their gentle arms which encircled me to be of greatest bondage, struggling against what could only break me in half, wings like issue, so much deciet)
Hidden disease, for one
Endless disguise
This forlorn
(Threads of lies hang down the garment which is my life I see
The world through a veil of suspicion and betrayal, disappointment and desease...)
Keep hidden filthy whore
(And touching this we may say what is known by experience;
That these women satisfy their filthy lusts not only in themselves,
But even in the mighty ones of the age, of whatever state and condition; causing by all sorts of witchcraft the death of their souls through the excessive infatuation of carnal love, in such a way that for no shame or persuation can they desist from such acts)
The lyrics to 13's song Whore convey a sense of pain, deception and a loss of control. The first stanza talks about being a "sore to bleed," implying that the person is in a vulnerable state and can be easily hurt. The line "Keep draining fear the hole" could refer to someone taking advantage of this vulnerability and using fear and intimidation to control the situation. The imagery of being "prone preying forced to kneel" and "penetrated left to fall" suggest a sense of violation or abuse. The line "All sacred offed to steal" implies that something valuable has been taken away, perhaps the person's dignity or sense of self-worth. And finally, the line "Call me the whore" could mean that the person has been reduced to nothing more than a sexual object.
The second stanza appears to describe a situation where someone is betrayed by a person they trusted. The line "To hear your solemn promise torn" suggests that the person had faith in someone who let them down. The line "Bled reason, remains to scorn" implies that the person is now angry or resentful towards the person who betrayed them. The phrase "Seen through the lies, where left these truths meant to swallow whole" implies that the person has been deceived and now sees the truth clearly. The final line of the stanza "Only suffer promise of" could once again refer to a sense of loss or betrayal.
The final stanza contains a few seemingly disconnected lines. The line "When all the words collapse" could mean that the person is struggling to find meaning or direction. The phrase "Wasted pretty bruise is born" suggests that something beautiful has been damaged or destroyed. The line "So we see where limbs break" is a rather cryptic statement that could imply physical harm or emotional breakdown. The final two lines "This for naught" and "Keep hidden filthy whore" suggest a sense of hopelessness and shame.
Overall, the lyrics to Whore convey a sense of pain, trauma, and betrayal. The imagery is brutal and graphic, and the use of fragmented phrases and disconnected thoughts only serves to enhance the feeling of confusion and loss of control.

The two people who died were my Aunt (dad's sister) and Uncle.... Aunt Dot was always so sweet to me and I never saw her happier than the day she married Uncle George.
