As this month brings the Glenn Danzig-fronted Misfits back to the live stage for the first time in decades, Bloody Roots plunges both hands deep into the gory vaults of this legendary New Jersey horror hardcore band. Prepare for a ghoul’s night out with hits from hell by the Misfits, plus related bands Samhain and Danzig. Crushing Misfits covers by Marduk, Hatebreed, Tribulation, Prong, Enforcer, and Metallica bear the stamp of the Misfits’s influence on all things dark and heavy. Know your Roots!
The above photo and hundreds more from across the Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig eras appear in MISERY OBSCURA: The Photography of Eerie Von (1981–2009), now available for preorder AT THIS LOCATION.
