 New stretch target

Although we have many running costs to maintain Ward XVI as a functioning band (rehearsal room rent, travel, costumes etc) The inmates of Ward XVI never take a penny from any income the band makes, it ALWAYS goes straight back into the band kitty, so with any extra funds raised through this, we will invest it straight back into the promotion of the new album be-it with our music videos, press promotion and  towards the design, dressing and build of a bigger.. badder.. bloodier stage show..one of which you'd never have seen before.

We want this album to reach as far as possible and be of the highest quality, and with your help we think that we can do it. 



The sordid story so far..

Back in 2017, Psychoberrie began to tell the world her sordid tale on the album The Art of Manipulation.

Three years later in 2020 she released the second chapter of her story Metamorphosis, which delved deeper into her childhood and sought to answer the question 'Is Evil nature or nurtured?'. 

This album was met with insane positivity from reviewers and music lovers alike, while the stage show allowed the inmates to take Psychoberrie story from the album to the stage, with an elaborate stage show quoted to be "an actual show, not just some songs with bells on. These guys hand you a real show much like Alice Cooper and the early Dio gigs where music and theatre collided" Moshville Times.

Its now time for her to complete the story and invite you all for the ride, but we need a little help to fund the production costs, which have increased significantly since 2020.

This funding will allow WARD XVI to afford the costs of the recording/ production process, music videos and also the building and preparation of a whole new stage show.

"Why now?" we hear you scream!

Ward XVI have always self funded their art-whether that be music, stage show or videos, and have prided themselves on the quality and originality of it and what they delivered to you all.

Unfortunately with the increase of the cost of living, we are reaching out for a little assistance.

"What can I do? I'm not Jesus" we hear you cry..

We aim to do this in a unique way...we aren't yet ready to provide the album to you as part of this funding campaign but we want you to become a CERTIFIED INMATE which will provide you with exclusive rarities that no-one else will be able to get their grubby hands onto.

By becoming a Certified Inmate you will get insane perks like;

✔️Your own unique inmate number based upon the chronology of when you became an inmate (sorry.. I know everyone wants 13, 69 or 666 but it’s just not feasible to do it that way… this way will add kudos and exclusivity for you all In terms of being able to have a low number-we aim to potentially open this annually… plus being easy and fair to manage).

✔️A signed certificate of authenticity

✔️Exclusive shirt and patch which are marked with your specific number.

✔️A personalised ‘thank you’ video of Psychoberrie and the inmates marking the garment with your personal number

✔️Your name in the sleeve art work of album

✔️Your mugshot will be displayed upon the inmate wall of Ward XVI's website.

✔️Being an official inmate will also provide you with discounts and exclusive merch in future that will not be available to the general public.

But... this is not all...

We will also be offering special edition/ one off rewards, memorabilia, instruments, handmade inmate dolls and the chance of appearing in a future Ward XVI theatrical video.

“Help us Inmate Kenobi…. You’re our only hope.”

This will be the first stage of the process which will be followed by a pre-order campaign once the album is complete and artwork designed by the hands of Psychoberrie herself.
