Lodi, New York NJ, United States (1977 – 1983, 1995 – present)

The Misfits are an American punk rock band formed in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey. The band’s lyrical and graphical focus covers retro science-fiction, horror, and B-movies. Originally led by singer and songwriter Glenn Danzig until their initial breakup in 1983, the band was later resurrected in 1995 by Jerry Only without Danzig, and continues to exist.

Danzig along with bassist Jerry Only (born Jerry Caiafa), who joined shortly after the band’s inception, remained the only consistent members throughout various line-ups, during the six years of the band’s original incarnation (from 1977 to 1983). Danzig was very interested in Marilyn Monroe, and took the band’s name from “The Misfits”, Monroe’s last film. The early Misfits were often quite melodic, featuring Danzig’s versatile singing, which had a style rooted in Italian tenors such as Mario Lanza and in 1950s doo wop. Early Misfits songs tended to have catchy, sing-along choruses backed by Danzig’s distorted keyboard accompaniments.

The band began as a largely untrained ensemble. The song

Last Caress (a very rare track for years) is now commonly regarded as the epitome of an early-Misfits song, with blaring instruments and Danzig’s melodic vocals finding a medium between Frank Sinatra and the Sex Pistols.

By the original band’s last album, Earth A.D., they had become a hardcore punk band, with Danzig’s standout vocal tone floating over a torrent of thrashing guitar, bass, and drums.

The Devil's Rain is a good album, at first it's a huge let down... Because you'd expect something different. It's not as heavy as Michale Graves-era, it's not as punk as the original misfits, but the sound stays solid whole album. The first couple of songs are the best and then the few last ones. And The Devil's Rain without a doubt has the best album cover. Also the Twilight of the dead/Land of the dead-cover is awesome.

So I hated The Devil's Rain at first listen so very much. I just came back to it and it actually sounds pretty good. Am I alone?
