Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Heads to Sherman Theater May 7
Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein emerged from the fiery pits of New Jersey to bring his horror punk show to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on May 7.
Doyle has made his own distinct mark on the genre with the inception of his self-entitled band. Opening the show will be Salem’s Childe, Black Dawn, Silence is Survival and Regicide.
The unmistakable sound of Doyle’s signature Annihilator guitar cuts through on every tune like a sonic fingerprint. The Annihilator’s tone is sharp as a butcher’s knife in the wrong hands and just as nasty – fans of the Misfits will recognize it right away.
Doyle lyrics are uncompromisingly dark and not for the faint of heart. There is absolutely zero attempt to balance the evil with any sort of good counterpoint. Music fans looking for feel-good anthems had best look elsewhere – those who enjoy strolling through the shadows will be greatly satisfied.
Vocalinst Alex Story of Cancerslug switches seamlessly from raw-throated roars to rough-edged, yet melodic, clean vocals. His live performances can only be described as unforgettable, disturbing, and strangely addictive – a perfect complement to the already mammoth stage presence of Doyle himself.
No metal band would be complete without a complete animal behind the drum kit. Brandon “The Crusher” Pertzborn of Black Flag delivers all the aggression and insanity necessary (and then some) with his exquisite musicality and showmanship.
So what can fans expect at a Doyle show?
“To get pummeled, man. And then go home and ask themselves ‘What just happened to me?!?’, hahaha…” Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein replies with a laugh that actually sounds evil. Loud, aggressive, and technically proficient, Doyle and crew are set to show the world how true horror metal sounds today.
So check out Doyle on tour, and let the beatings begin!
