ADDICTED TO NOISE, June 1996 ---------------------------- Misfits Go Psycho On Newest Horror-Core Album Megadeth's opening act this summer say they are just all-American boys. Addicted To Noise's Laura Lee Reports: Don't let the Misfits' bizarre appearance fool you, these are men with purpose, and the first item on today's agenda-- world domination. The New Jersey four piece, decked out in skulls and leather, have been pumping out their brand of psycho horror-core since modern-day shock rockers Marilyn Mason were in diapers. Punk fueled and hook heavy, tracks off their new album American Psycho (Geffen) include titles such as "Speak Of The Devil," "From Hell They Came" and "Don't Open 'Til Doomsday." "We get up every morning and lift weights, you know, and that's fun and then we get down and build our own guitars," said Jerry Only, frontman/bassist for the Misfits and brother of Misfits guitarist, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. "And we demanded with this release that we get some bubble gum trading cards put out to accompany the album." Over the past couple of years, the Misfits were honored by an offer from the metal band Anthrax to open for them and recently they allowed themselves to be cajoled into an opening spot on Megadeth's summer tour. In addition to the Megadeth stadium tour, the Misfits are headlining their own club tour of the U.S. "The Misfits are as American as apple pie," Only said. "And the only people who don't like the music are the ones we have to beat up." What better reason to make sure you don't miss them when they burn up your town this summer.
