Collection II

Misfits

Twenty tracks of raw, melodic horror punk defined by distorted bass, B-movie obsession, and Danzig’s signature baritone croon over blistering tempos.

November 14, 1995 · Caroline Records

Collection II is the sonic equivalent of a midnight double-feature at a crumbling grindhouse cinema. It captures the Misfits at their most visceral, blending the melodic sensibilities of 1950s rock and roll with the jagged, high-velocity assault of early 80s hardcore. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of fog machines and cheap stage blood, yet the musicianship is surprisingly tight, anchored by Jerry Only's clattering, overdriven bass and Glenn Danzig's unmistakable 'Evil Elvis' vocals.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden iconic whoa-oh chorus in we are 138 that invites a room-wide shout-along
the transition from the slow menacing intro of london dungeon into its driving claustrophobic main riff
the sheer unbridled speed of green hell where the drums sound like they are physically struggling to keep up
the contrast between the upbeat almost pop-inflected melody of last caress and its notoriously transgressive lyrics
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
