There were poor quality bootlegs of the tracks. He was on MTV with videos for “Mother” and “ Dirty Black Summer.” You have to remember, up until 1996 the Misfits were not easily found in record stores, even the two releases mentioned above. His solo albums, at the time, where pretty popular. In the mid-90s, my friends and I started getting into Danzig. The latter would be one of the first hardcore punk albums that would go on to influence heavy metal bands to come like Metallica, Guns N Roses and Megadeth. With Danzig, they would record two full-length albums, “Walk Among Us” and “Earth A.D.” The former was still in vein of melodic punk, horror movies and space aliens eating brains. It probably would have been a solid underground classic.īut it was shelved at the time. That can’t be said for a lot of punk bands at that time, because they sang a lot of the politics at the time.

The lyrics hinted at angst, despair and science fiction-horror movie themes - the latter being what the tended to gravitate toward after they recorded this - that, because they were fairly general, have aged fairly well over the years. But with “Static Age,” they were raw, angry, it was everything that punk rock was at the time. They had recorded some tracks as a Joy Division sounding band before Danzig decided to go in another direction. This was suppose to be their debut album. Even Black Flag, whom are sometimes lumped in with the Misfits, had “Damaged.” But that changed in 1996. It’s not just because they are punk, “London Calling” for the Clash and “Fresh Fruit For The Rotting Vegetables” for the Dead Kennedys are examples of old school punk bands having a defining album. This is one of those rare bands I enjoy that really did not have a definitive album until more than a decade after they broke up. Though their material can often be hit and miss. I love the Misfits.Well, to be exact, Glenn Danzig’s Misfits.
