Life Of Agony Airs The Sound Of Scars In London
Alternative metal is a tag that's been given to some of the best bands to arise from the nineties. From Living Colour to Faith No More and everything in between, this loose tag has been placed on groups which may not sound like the archetypal metal band, but bring it just as hard. One such band to be classed as such is Brooklyn's own Life Of Agony, who released three stellar albums in their initial run, before returning with a new album, "Broken Valley" in 2005. Now in their third stage, the new album, "The Sound Of Scars" proves that the band are as good as, if not better than they ever were. Of course, any album release means shows and I was fortunate enough to be in London for the opening night of the trek.
Opening the night was Doyle, the eponymous band of Misfits guitarist Doyle von Frankenstein. If truth be told, I've never been a Misfits fan, but I'm always willing to check out a band in a live setting. I'm glad I did, because Doyle and his crew have put together some really cool songs, bridging the horror punk background with metal to create something interesting. The first thing that catches one's eye when they take to the stage is Doyle himself, who is still in immaculate shape and has his stage get up perfect. The man himself is joined by some top quality musicians too, particularly drummer Wade Murff who was an absolute beast behind the kit, while bassist Brandon Strate kept the ship steady throughout.

Doyle Releases New Video
Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein has released an official music video for the track "Run For Your Life."
The clip was directed by Brian Cox at Flarelight Films, and is the first single off Doyle's upcoming "As We Die" LP (due out 6/2/2017 via Monsterman Records. Doyle comments:
"I did the guitars when I did the Abominator record. We did two albums at once, actually. We were going to do a double album but there was so much material we just cut the motherfucker in half.
"We were actually done with all the recording during February of 2016, and we were just having a real problem getting the mix right. We mixed for 14 fucking months... I'm out of my mind, man. It's got to be perfect.
"It's your product and you have to make it perfect, 'cause it's forever. It's got to be great. When my favorite artist makes a record and I don't like it, I'm pissed, y'know? I don't want anyone to feel that way about us." More...

Doyle To Star In Horror Movie
Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein is set to star in "Death Ward 13," a remake of the cult-classic film "Don't Look In The Basement."
With his iconic devilock hair and impressive physical build, Doyle will play the most terrifying character in the film. Now in pre-production, "Death Ward 13" is directed by award-winning horror filmmaker Todd Nunes and produced by The Readmond Company.
”I’m looking forward to starting my movie career with a starring role in 'Death Ward 13,'" says Doyle. “It’s time to release the beast on the big screen. Let the killing begin!”
“With Doyle’s horror punk background, we’ve always been looking for opportunities to have him cross over into film, but nothing has sparked his interest until now," adds Bruce Miyaki (Insane Management). “'Death Ward 13' is a great breakout film for Doyle – his fans are going to love it.”
"I'm excited to work with Doyle,” says director Todd Nunes. “Doyle will be portraying a ruthless killer called The Duke - a psychopath and the most twisted and terrifying character in the movie. I’m a big fan of Doyle and his music and always thought he would make a menacing horror movie villain. With his threatening looks and massive build, this man will scare the crap out of everyone. Get ready for a horrifying ride!" More...
Doyle Signs With EMP To Release New Album
Former Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein has signed a label and distribution deal with EMP Label Group, who will not only release "As We Die" - the upcoming sophomore LP from Doyble - but also distribute all releases for the guitarist’s label Monsterman Records.
EMP President David Ellefson comments: “I’ve always loved Doyle and we’ve had a great relationship that goes back a long time. We’d started some talk last year when Doyle and Alissa (White-Gluz) came out to do some stuff with Metal Allegiance, and it just became an ongoing conversation over the past year. Now that it’s official, we’re extremely excited to be able to not only push out this new DOYLE record, which is amazing, but all the killer Monsterman titles via EMP.”
Says Doyle, “When Dave came to me with an offer for our new CD 'As We Die' it was a no brainer. He has been a good friend of mine for 20 + years, and has never done me wrong, and in this business that’s unheard of. We didn’t want to release it ourselves on Monster Man, we wanted a bigger push and EMP has a lot of exciting things happening in 2017 that will do that for us.”
Doyle - the current project of Von Frankenstein with Cancerslug vocalist Alex “Wolfman” Story, and a current lineup rounded out by bassist Brandon Strate and drummer Brandon Pertzborn - continues the lineage of Doyle’s former projects, pairing crushing metal riffs with ferocious punk rock swagger and the theatrical intensity one would expect from one of the reigning kings, and erstwhile creators, of horrorcore.

Doyle Posts "Valley Of Shadows" Lyric Video
Although former Misfits guitarist Doyle is currently on the road performing for U.S. fans with Danzig as part of the Danzig 25 tour, that does not mean he cannot share a little bit of his new album "Abominator" with his fans across the globe.
"Valley of Shadows," the previously released single from the new album, now has a lyric video counterpart. The video can be viewed below.
“To introduce our new album Abominator, we are releasing the official lyric video for the first single ‘Valley Of Shadows.’ A dark journey through a world of lust and violence,” states vocalist Alex Story. “Showcasing the evolution of sound Doyle has achieved from his already legendary development with The Misfits, this song rages with the primal fury and carnality found throughout the band’s debut album. This is a call to arms to true fiends everywhere. The trip through the valley is a brutal thrill filled ride to hell that you won't soon forget. Where hardcore punk meets old school thrash and a new breed of doom metal, ‘Valley Of Shadows’ is just a glimpse into what is to come from Abominator.”
Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein released his brand new album "Abominator" in July with his own label, Monsterman Records (in partnership with Brain Muscle Media), via INgrooves. The album is available digitally at all major digital retailers now, and will be available in CD and vinyl form in October 2013. Catch the band live:
