2nd album from 1983 by this American band and the final studio recording featuring Glenn Danzig before the group's original breakup. Widely regarded as one of the most extreme and influential MISFITS releases, it marked a dramatic shift from the Horror Punk approach of their early years toward a far more aggressive and frantic sound rooted in Hardcore Punk, while also foreshadowing elements that would later influence Crossover and Thrash Metal.
Running at a relentless pace from start to finish, "Earth A.D. / Wolfs Blood" delivers a concentrated blast of speed, aggression and B-movie horror imagery. Several songs were originally intended for SAMHAIN, Danzig's next band, giving the album a unique transitional character between both eras. An essential release for understanding the link between Hardcore Punk and the emerging extreme Metal scene of the 1980s.

5th album from 1999 by this American band and the final studio release from the Michale Graves, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, Jerry Only and Dr. Chud era. Released two years after "American Psycho", it cemented the success of the band's 1990s incarnation, further developing a style that blended Horror Punk, Punk Rock and Heavy Metal with a more melodic and accessible approach than the classic Glenn Danzig period.
Featuring strong production and an impressive knack for memorable hooks, "Famous Monsters" expands the band's cinematic side through countless horror and science-fiction influences. Regarded by many fans as one of the defining releases of the Graves era, it captures MISFITS at a creative peak shortly before this lineup came to an end.

Unofficial live album documenting this legendary American band during one of the final stages of the classic Glenn Danzig era. Recorded at P.U.N.X. #4 in Los Angeles on April 8th, 1983, it captures MISFITS in the midst of the transition toward the more aggressive sound that would soon culminate in "Earth A.D. / Wolfs Blood", featuring the established lineup of Danzig, Doyle, Jerry Only and Robo. Although originally circulated as a bootleg recording, it has become a highly valued document among dedicated followers of the band.
The setlist gathers many of the band's best-known classics while showcasing the raw intensity and chaotic energy that defined their early 1980s performances. Far removed from the polished productions of later years, "Live At P.U.N.X. #4" stands as an authentic snapshot of a band whose impact on Horror Punk, Hardcore Punk, Crossover and Thrash Metal remains undeniable.

Unofficial live album recorded in 2000 by this legendary American band during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Captured on October 28th, 2000 in Irvine, California, it documents a performance featuring Zoli Téglás (IGNITE) as a temporary replacement for Michale Graves amid the internal tensions that would soon lead to the breakup of the band's late-1990s lineup.
Far more than a collector's curiosity, "Live With Zoli - 2000" provides a fascinating snapshot of a transitional era, featuring material from both the Graves and Danzig periods performed by one of Melodic Hardcore's most distinctive vocalists. An especially worthwhile release for dedicated MISFITS followers and anyone interested in exploring a lesser-known chapter of the band's long and eventful career.
Recommended for fans of: SAMHAIN, IGNITE, BALZAC, MURDERDOLLS.
