Misfits
are an American
punk rock
band often recognized as the progenitors of the
horror punk
subgenre, blending punk and other musical influences with
horror film
themes and imagery. Founded in 1977 in
Lodi, New Jersey
, the original lineup consisted of
Glenn Danzig
,
bassist
Jerry Only
, and
drummer
Manny Martínez. Danzig and Only were the only consistent members throughout the next six years, in which they released several
EPs
and
singles
, and with Only's brother
Doyle
as guitarist, the albums
Walk Among Us
(1982) and
Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood
(1983), both considered touchstones of the early-1980s
hardcore punk
movement.Misfits disbanded in 1983 and Danzig went on to form
Samhain
and then
Danzig
. Several albums of reissued and previously unreleased material were issued after the group's dissolution, and their music later became influential to punk rock,
heavy metal
, and
alternative rock
. After a series of legal battles with Danzig, Only and Doyle regained the rights to record and perform as the Misfits. They formed a new version of the band in 1995 with singer
Michale Graves
and drummer
Dr. Chud
. This incarnation of Misfits had a more heavy metal sound, and released the albums
American Psycho
(1997) and
Famous Monsters
(1999) before dissolving in 2000. Jerry Only then took over lead vocals and recruited former
Black Flag
guitarist
Dez Cadena
and former
Ramones
drummer
Marky Ramone
for a Misfits 25th Anniversary tour.This lineup released an album of
cover songs
titled
Project 1950
and toured for several years. In 2005, Ramone was replaced by
Robo
, who had played with Black Flag in the early 1980s and had also previously been Misfits' drummer from 1982 to 1983. This lineup released a single titled "
Land of the Dead
" in 2009. The Misfits' lineup of Only, Cadena, and drummer Eric "Chupacabra" Arce released a new album titled
The Devil's Rain
in October 2011. In 2015 it was announced that Cadena would be taking a break from music after receiving a cancer diagnosis, and was replaced by Only's son Jerry Caiafa II. That same year
Soulfly
's
Marc Rizzo
joined the band, also playing guitar, filling in for Cadena before Caiafa would move on to become the sole guitarist for the band. In September 2016, for the first time in 33 years, Danzig, Only and Doyle reunited for two headlining shows at the
Riot Fest
, along with original
Slayer
drummer
Dave Lombardo
and second guitarist Acey Slade.
