EMP, the label vessel of Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, with operations headed up by former Corporate Punishment President\/A&R\/Marketing exec Thom Hazaert, home to artists including A Killer\u2019s Confession, Motograter, Heaven Below (featuring Patrick Kennison of Lita Ford\/Union Underground), Broken Teeth, Doll Skin, Helstar, Cage9, Green Death, Arise in Chaos, former Faith No More vocalist Chuck Mosley, and many more, started out with deep ties into the Doyle camp, according to EMP\u2019s Hazaert.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worked really closely with Bruce (Miyaki \u2013 Doyle\u2019s Manager) and MONSTERMAN on (Doyle\u2019s 2013 release) Abominator, and I was actually the marketing director out of the gate on that release. Over the years, I\u2019ve stayed involved, and we\u2019re all good friends, and with David (Ellefson), who also has a great relationship with DOYLE, eventually as EMP came to fruition the conversation inevitably came up about seeing if there was a fit there. With everything else going on in all of our Worlds, it took a bit of a detour to finally get here, but I can\u2019t express how excited we are to finally be able to put this all together. The legacy of someone like DOYLE, who is SUCH a legendary talent, is always such an amazing gift when it comes to putting out records, especially for a label like EMP, where we are all HUGE, genuine music fans. And there\u2019s really not many out there who can hold a candle to DOYLE, in terms of talent OR legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
EMP President David Ellefson agrees. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved Doyle and we\u2019ve had a great relationship that goes back a long time. We\u2019d 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\u2019s official, we\u2019re 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Says Doyle, \u201cWhen 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\u2019s unheard of. We didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
DOYLE the current project of Von Frankenstein, with CANCERSLUG vocalist Alex \u201cWolfman\u201d Story, and a current lineup rounded out by bassist Brandon Strate and drummer Brandon Pertzborn, continues the lineage of Doyle\u2019s 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 Horror-Core.<\/p>\n
In addition to the upcoming sophomore release from DOYLE, EMP\/MONSTERMAN will release several limited edition vinyl configurations, as well as a CD reissue of DOYLE\u2019s Critically-acclaimed ABOMINATOR, the upcoming LP from LA Industrial Metal mainstays DEAD GIRLS CORP., and several additional 2017 releases TBA.<\/p>\n

Visit Doyle online: About Doyle (written by: Randy Blythe of Lamb of God): Released on Doyle\u2019s 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\u2019s first band, the infamous Glenn Danzig-fronted Misfits, helped create the genre of speed\/thrash metal with their last album, 1983\u2019s Earth AD\/Wolf\u2019s 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\u2019s songs, not the least of which being Metallica. Abominator is not the sound of some punk guitarist gone metal- it\u2019s the roaring return of one of extreme metal\u2019s original architects to his blood-splattered drawing board.<\/p>\n Coming from a legendary band of almost mythological proportions, and having first worked with one of the most talented and respected vocalists of the century (the infamous Glenn Danzig), Doyle\u2019s new project would need a singer with brass balls, cast-iron pipes, a suitably twisted mind, and his own vocal delivery style. Enter Alabama\u2019s Alex Story of Cancerslug, a Southern fiend who\u2019s sand-blasted scream opens the record, and the evil doesn\u2019t relent until the ending growl of \u201cHope Hell Is Warm\u201d, the album\u2019s defiant closer. The man can scream and sing, and employs both styles to great effect, switching seamlessly from raw-throated roars to rough-edged, yet melodic, clean vocals. Alex\u2019s live performances can only be described as unforgettable, disturbing and strangely addictive \u2013 a perfect complement to the already mammoth stage presence of Doyle himself.<\/p>\n The unmistakable sound of Doyle\u2019s signature Annihilator guitar cuts through on every tune like a sonic fingerprint, starting with the snarling opening title track Abominator. The Annihilator\u2019s tone is sharp as a butcher\u2019s knife in the wrong hands and just as nasty- fans of the Misfits will recognize it right away. <\/p>\n On tunes like \u201cHeadhunter\u201d and \u201cLand of the Dead\u201d the riffs are relentless, and if a riff could be described in emotional terms, remorseless. \u201cDreamingdeadgirls\u201d brings a blackened-blues swing, and the doom-laden \u201cLove Like Murder\u201d shows a healthy appreciation for all things Sabbath. \u201cBlood Stains\u201d moves from primal sludge to ripping off-time thrash with ease. The album is just that- an album, a cohesive and well executed piece of work that takes the listener on a journey; albeit a bloody journey to places some fear to tread.<\/p>\n As befits songs as musically dark as Abominator\u2018s, the album\u2019s lyrics are not for the faint of heart. Throughout the entire record, there is absolutely zero attempt to balance its evil with any sort of good counterpoint- penned entirely by Story (probably in blood), Abominator\u2018s lyrics are entirely and uncompromisingly dark. Music fans looking for feel- good anthems had best look elsewhere- those who enjoy strolling through the shadows will be greatly satisfied.<\/p>\n So how did this Jersey devil and crew wind up with a Dixie-bred howler? \u201cAfter I had written all this music, I realized I had to get someone to sing this stuff- once I\u2019m done recording guitars, all I can see is myself just playing that riff, ya know? That\u2019s my thing, not lyrics and singing,\u201d Doyle says, with typically blunt candor. \u201cI\u2019ve known Alex for a while, so I called him up, then sent him a bunch of the tunes. Two days later he sent me back \u2018Mark of the Beast\u2019, just like it is on the record. I said \u2018That\u2019s exactly what I want!\u2019, and the rest is history. I only wrote the word \u2018abominator\u2019- all the rest of that stuff is Alex. He\u2019s just crazy, man\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a match made in hell. But no metal band would be complete without a complete animal behind the drum kit. Brandon \u201cThe Crusher\u201d Pertzborn (of Black Flag) delivers all the aggression and insanity necessary (and then some) with his exquisite musicality and showmanship.<\/p>\n So what can fans expect at a Doyle show?<\/p>\n \u201cTo get fucking pummeled, man. And then go home and ask themselves \u2018What the fuck just happened to me?!?\u2019, hahaha\u2026\u201d he replies with a laugh that this time, no joke about it, actually sounds evil. Loud, aggressive, and technically proficient, Doyle and crew are set to show the world how true horror metal sounds today.<\/p>\n So crank up Abominator until your speakers blow, check out Doyle on tour, and let the beatings begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nLodi, a small borough of Bergen County, New Jersey, is just over two square miles. There\u2019s not much to suggest that the small village would be the birthplace of a world famous, blood-soaked form of music known as horror punk. Legendary acts The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig all have their origins in Lodi, and something monstrous indeed lurks there. The poster child and originator of the genre, himself, has once again unleashed an evil noise on an unsuspecting world: Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein\u2019s first release, Abominator, by his eponymous band, Doyle.<\/p>\nEuropean Tour Dates Announced for Abominator UK\/European Invasion Tour — As announced on the Black Carpet at the The Epiphone Revolver Music Awards 12\/13, former MISFITS guitarist DOYLE WOLFGANG VON FRANKENSTEIN has signed a label […]<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":53440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-53437","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news-wires"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
