    ALBUM SPOTLIGHT: THE MISFITS 'Earth A.D./Wolfsblood'

    In the spirit of the season, THE KINGS examine an ominous outlier in MISFITS' discography. A Halloween-ready episode, diving headfirst into 1983’s Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood — the (real, Danzig-equipped) Misfits’ final and most feral studio album. Your hosts summarize its rushed recording, MISFITS' place in the American Hardcore pantheon, and interpersonal dynamics that rendered this their swan song. Also includes live reactions to a bunch of key tracks and analysis of this album's musical content. Website: KingsofPunk.com IG: @koppodofficial
