Static Age is the Misfits’ lost album—recorded in 1978 but shelved for nearly two decades before its inclusion in the band’s 1996 box set, then released separately in 1997. It’s arguably their most coherent and musically diverse statement, capturing the band before they fully leaned into hardcore and while their love for 50s rock, death-drenched lyrics, and punk minimalism was still tightly wound together. Crazy to me that this had been shelved for so long when it’s one of the best things the band did in their early years and these original records tower over the overdubbed Legacy Of Brutality versions.
1997 US pressing on Caroline Records.
