Legendary Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein will be extending the As We Die World Abomination Tour 2018 into the UK and Europe. Launching on July 2 in Hitchin, England, the tour will wind throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, including several festivals, before finishing up August 11 in Coesfield, Germany. Following a brief break, Doyle will begin the North American run, beginning October 9 in Hartford, CT, traveling throughout the United States and finishing January 3 in Brooklyn, NY.
Released on Doyle’s own label, Monsterman Records, Abominator is a sonically thick and lyrically evil slab of metal that finds Doyle expanding in a logical progression upon the genre of music he helped create. Doyle’s first band, the infamous Glenn Danzig-fronted Misfits, helped create the genre of speed/thrash metal with their last album, 1983’s Earth AD/Wolf’s Blood- in fact the record has been revered as one of the blueprints for the genre by many of its most respected players, as evidenced by countless groups covering the album’s songs, not the least of which being Metallica. Abominator is not the sound of some punk guitarist gone metal- it’s the roaring return of one of extreme metal’s original architects to his blood-splattered drawing board.
