The Misfits are often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk
subgenre. Their fifth studio album Famous Monsters is the second one without
singer and founder Glenn Danzig. As the follow-up of American Psycho they’re
focusing on the some aspects from the punk and metal music. The vocal parts are
in the hands of Michale Graves and the songs are all well written. Doyle
Wolfgang Von Frankenstein brings out some of his famous guitar riffs, while Dr.
Chud is hitting his drums. You can hear their punk roots, but also the heavier
sounds of their
bass and guitar melodies. The album has aged very well and is now available
again on vinyl.
