This week, Bloody Roots plunges both hands deep into the gory vaults of the 1980s era of this legendary New Jersey horror hardcore gang. Dig up your spinal remains for hits from hell by the Misfits, plus subsequent bands Samhain and Danzig. Crushing Misfits covers by Marduk, Hatebreed, Tribulation, Prong, Enforcer, and Metallica display the stamp of the Misfits’s influence on all things dark and heavy. Know your Roots!
