1457 - The Misfits Green Hell 1983

Andy Weller of the Necros recalls the band's transition from traditional punk rock in the late 1970s to hardcore in the early 1980s: "You could hear it on the records. It went from this Ramones-type stuff, to nine months later, where they put out records that were so fast it's unreal." By the recording of "Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood" the band were playing faster, more aggressive material. According to Blush, "The Misfits' strengths as a hardcore group lay in non-[hardcore] attributes–melodic songs and larger-than-life-aura–but by the time of Earth A.D. Glenn was writing hyperspeed blasts that sounded very standard". "Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood" is the last album released by American horror punk band The Misfits, to feature founding member and lead vocalist, Glenn Danzig. "Green Hell" os linked to a classic '50's horror film (one of the few on this album).
