The Profile

Misfits are an American horror‑punk band formed in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey by Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only. Their early era produced cult-defining records like Walk Among Us and Earth A.D., merging punk speed with B‑movie horror imagery and the iconic Fiend skull. Reformed in the mid‑1990s under Jerry Only, they returned with American Psycho and continued touring and recording.

Pioneers of horror punk; iconic Fiend skull logo; influential on punk/metal scenes; covered by Metallica (e.g., Die, Die My Darling, Last Caress) and Guns N’ Roses (Attitude); early material recorded with Glenn Danzig, later releases with Michale Graves; formed in Lodi, New Jersey.

Reviews hail Misfits as horror‑punk pioneers from New Jersey, fusing raw punk, hardcore speed and B‑movie imagery. Early essentials (Walk Among Us, Earth A.D., Static Age) define their cult, while the 1997 reboot American Psycho shows a catchier, thrash‑tinged side. The Fiend skull and sing‑along whoa‑oh choruses are everywhere. Covers by Metallica and Guns N’ Roses confirm the band’s lasting impact.
