The Original Misfits Announce First New Album in Over Four Decades, Global Tour to Follow
Fans of horror punk royalty have finally gotten the news they’ve been waiting for: The Original Misfits are officially returning with their first full-length studio album in over forty years. After years of speculation and scattered reunion shows, the legendary lineup—featuring Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein—confirmed the long-rumored project during their explosive headlining performance at Coachella 2025.
The announcement marks a historic moment for the band, who last released new material together in the early 1980s. In a statement shared on their official website, the Misfits revealed that the new album will dive deep into their signature blend of horror-inspired punk rock while exploring darker and more evolved themes reflective of their decades-long influence on the genre. Recording is already underway, with Danzig noting that fans can expect “a raw return to our roots with a few sinister surprises.”
To celebrate the release, the band also unveiled plans for a worldwide tour slated to kick off later this year. This global trek will mark the first time in decades that the original lineup has toured extensively together, hitting major cities across North America, Europe, and Japan. Longtime fans and newcomers alike can look forward to hearing classic anthems alongside brand-new material.
The announcement comes amid a resurgence of interest in horror punk, fueled by renewed activity from genre pioneers and a growing wave of younger bands paying homage to the Misfits’ legacy. With new music and a global tour on the horizon, the Misfits are poised to reestablish their throne as the undisputed kings of horror punk—proving once again that you can’t keep a good ghoul down.
