MISFITS DEA.D. ALIVE!

14 Fiendish ‘Fits Cuts Recorded Live!

_______________________________________________

The raw ferocity of the legendary MISFITS captured DEA.D. ALIVE! in concert on All Hallows’ Eve, in the center of Times Square—New York City! Need we say more Fiends? The ‘Fits first proper live album since the 1980’s is entombed in the ultimate greatest hits live package for the next generation of horror kids…A.D.

With select tracks from the band’s encore set at their hometown show in NJ added for good measure, (recorded live on ‘Devil’s Night’ no less), DEA.D. ALIVE! is an audio Molotov cocktail guaranteed to have bonfires burning bright with pumpkin faces, day or night, all year round. Speakers will virtually melt as a torrential downpour of “Devil’s Rain” engulfs the senses, catapulting you front row center into a jam-packed house of horrors.

The diverse set of modern-day Misfits classics included range from current hits like “Land of the Dead” and “Curse of the Mummy’s Hand”, on through all-new live versions of earlier-era material like “Scream!”, “Dig Up Her Bones”, “Helena” and more—recorded live, with a level of precision and intensity garnered in over three decades of horror business. In addition to 13 fiendish faves from the band’s cryptic catalog, the live set also includes a cover version of the anthem “Science Fiction/Double Feature” (from the cult-classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show”) performed by the Misfits for the first time ever on any release!

Features cover art by Jason Edmiston, cover artist for “Famous Monsters”, “Rue Morgue”, contributor to Topps “Mars Attacks” 50th Anniversary trading card set, and more.

Available on CD and Ltd Ed 12-inch vinyl + MP3 Card

First pressing on SOLID GOLD vinyl Ltd to 1,500 pcs

Also look for the Misfits Records Online Exclusive Edition: GOLD VINYL W/ RED AND GREEN SPLATTER—ONLY 100 COPIES WORLDWIDE! Pre-order @ http://misfitsrecords.com/ to guarantee one in your collection while supplies last.

Pre-order at http://misfitsrecords.com/ for an instant MP3 download and receive your physical copy by or before the February 5th release date + automatically be entered to win fiendish prizes!

Wanna See My MISFITS (Promotional) Drinking Coaster? It’s Really Cool…

Posted in Music, Punk rock, punk rock bands, rock and roll, rock music, rock music collectibles, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on July 14, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

MISFITS – That’s the front side of this cool Misfits (promotional) drinking coaster! This coaster came inside the jewel case of: MISFITS Meet The Nutley Brass / Fiend Club Lounge. The front side of this coaster depicts the actual album cover. Since this collectible Misfits item came inside the CD, I consider it a promotional piece.

This Misfits album was released back in 2005, on MISFITS Records / RYKO. Unfortunately, this album has seen it’s share of harsh reviews, although there have been positive reviews as well. This wasn’t a Misfits album where they perform the music heard; instead all the songs are Misfits cover songs performed by The Nutley Brass. To sum up the sound of this album, think Tijuana Brass.

I understand the music is a huge detour from what fans expect from a Misfits album, still, I’ve listened to it and it’s not the end of the world. It’s different. Like Lenny Wolf of Kingdom Come would say: “it is what it is”.

The backside of this coaster does all the promoting, take a look below:

MISFITS – Endorsed By Spaun Drum Company

Posted in Drums, horror punk, Punk rock, punk rock bands, punk rock music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , , on January 22, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Photo Credit: Mick Rock

Spaun Drum Company have teamed with the Misfits by endorsing the band and drummer Eric “Chupacabra” Arce. They’ve created a new state-of-the-art custom kit, specifically designed with the fiendish ferocity and visual theatrics the ‘Fits are known for. 



Spaun uses innovative methods and proprietary technology, (copied by many companies, but never equaled), that are seriously lacking in many custom drums. They design with a “sonic purpose” and believe that the continuous handling of each drum is an integral part of it’s final sound. Every step of the way, there is a heart and soul, an energy, that is crafted into each Spaun drum. Look for the Misfits fiendish new custom kit by SPAUN DRUM COMPANY to be unveiled on tour in the near future!

U.F.O. Themes On Rock Album Covers: Through The Years

(Misfits – Walk Among Us – 1982/Ruby/Slash Records)

U.F.O.’s On Rock Album Covers – Over the decades, the image or images of U.F.O’s (call ‘em spaceships if you prefer) have graced numerous Rock album covers. From Punk Rock to Progressive Rock, the always mysterious U.F.O. makes for some fun and interesting album covers. Most of these album covers with a U.F.O. theme, that I’ve decided to share with you, are without question classics, both in their album cover artwork and music within, in my Metal opinion.

Take a look at ‘em and see just how unique each album cover is, with it’s portrayal of the U.F.O. and notice some are much more detailed than others. If you know of a Rock album cover from the past or present with a U.F.O. on it, feel free to share the info via a comment!

(Electric Light Orchestra – Out Of The Blue – 1977/Jet Records)

(Electric Light Orchestra – Ticket To The Moon/The Very Best Of Vol. 2 – 2008/Epic)

ELO has used their trademark U.F.O. on many of their album covers over the decades. When ELO didn’t have their spaceship on an album cover, it never seemed right to me. Then again, an album cover doesn’t affect the music so I’m not totally devastated.

(Boston – Boston – 1976/Epic)

(Boston – Corporate America – 2002/Artemis)

Boston has always held onto their recognizable U.F.O. theme, with each of their respective album’s artwork. This Boston album cover is really cool… heck, the U.F.O. is shaped like a guitar!

(The Flaming Lips – U.F.O.S At The Zoo – 2007/WEA/Reprise)

(JourneyEscape – 1981/Columbia Records)

After all these years, this album cover to Journey – Escape is still an all-time favorite of mine for it’s amazing artwork. Okay, it looks like a flying beetle ship escaping from a big bubble… that’s a U.F.O. to me.

(UFO – II/Space Rock/Flying – 1971/Beacon)

What would a list of Rock album covers with U.F.O.’s on ‘em be… without the legendary UFO being represented? Metal be thy name.

(Transformers – Dark Of The Moon – 2011/Warner Bros.)

Those look like two very unfriendly alien vehicles in the sky, on this new album cover for: Transformers Dark Of The Moon (soundtrack). Well, this Transformers Dark Of The Moon soundtrack brings us up to the present day, when it comes to seeing a U.F.O. on an album cover. Until next time, keep your eyes peeled to the sky… and to those Rock album covers too!

A U.F.O. ON A ROCK ALBUM COVER IS COOL.
