Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In a parallel universe The Misfits would be gods. Admittedly it would be a universe created by darkly humorous filmmaker Tim Burton and every day would be Halloween, but such minor considerations have never held them back. In fact, for over 20 years their brand of gothic punk has attracted a sizeable cult following in the real world and with a new line-up taking shape in 1995 they found themselves attracting a fresh set of fans. Cuts from the Crypt raids the vaults of the past five years to showcase some of their best and unreleased moments featuring current vocalist Michale Graves. It's a no-nonsense collection of metal, punk and rock located halfway between The Damned and Iron Maiden, with its tongue firmly placed in its cheek. In homage to the afore-mentioned director the first six tracks are from a lost demo called "Mars Attacks", while other highlights include their grimly faithful version of the 60s hit, "Monster Mash". Best of all though has to be the ludicrously camp "I Wanna Be A NY Ranger", which suggests that the Misfits are what the Village People would have become if they had swapped the disco for the graveyard. Now that really would be a parallel universe. --William Luff

This is an awesome album, the opening track "Dead Kings Rise", is my favourite Misfits song as well "Dr. Phibes Rises Again", both these songs are fantastic, not forgetting others such as "Fiend Without A Face" or "Bruiser". Michale Graves vocals are great as usual and Doyle's guitar playing skills really shine through on the guitar solo on "Dr. Phibes Rises Again". The album also comes with the "Scream" music video, so I say just buy it, you won't be disappointed
Format:Audio CD

Misfits latest release on Road Runner Records, Features unreleased and very rare stuff by the Misfits with Michal Graves. Includes Mars Attacks, 1 Million Years BC, and Their Amazing cover of Monster Mash. A Must for any Punk Fan, and a certain buy for misfit fans.
