Overview Edit

Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (usually just called Earth A.D.) was the last album the American hardcore punk band The Misfits recorded with Glenn Danzig. Danzig released it on his Plan 9 label in December 1983, two months after he played his last concert with the band. It was noticeably harder and faster than their previous releases. The themes were also quite darker than the previous releases, featuring often gory and demonic lyrics.

Originally released as a 9 song LP, it was later issued with the three tracks of the Die, Die My Darling EP incorporated into the track listing.

Glenn Danzig has said that the tracks "Bloodfeast" and "Death Comes Ripping" were originally intended for Samhain's first release, but were added to what would be the Misfits' final record in a last-ditch effort to save the band.

Metallica covered "Die, Die My Darling" for their 1998 cover album Garage Inc, as well as "Green Hell", which was originally covered by Metallica for their 1987 album, Garage Days Re-Revisited, as part of a medley with "Last Caress". British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth covered "Death Comes Ripping" for their 1999 release From the Cradle to Enslave.

5 stars "Earth A.D." the Classic Misfits Last Studio Album
"Earth A.D./Die Die My Darling" is the last studio album the orginal Misfits did together. On this album the Misfits embark on a new direction of horror. Instead of catchy tunes and B-Horror lyrics, "Earth A.D." picks up the pace and rams it in your ears at a sonic speed. The lyrics portray a much more violent reality that leaves the listener numb and wanting more. Some Misfit fans found the change in style to be too much and wished it would have been more punk. I think that it was a breath of f…

dirty studio production, and danzig hitting puberty make for a different type of alblum. doesn't matter though cuz no matter how you stack theese boys are @!#$ bad. the song green hell shows just why they have so much influence over early 80's hard core. die die my darling is the inspiration for the best skateboard graphic of all time, of course there is mommy can i go out and kill tonight? that is just insane theese guys make white zombie look like wusses. so join the dominion and be the first on your block to say MOMMY I'M A MISFIT
