Former Misfits Vocalist Michael Graves Embraces Christian Music

In 1995, the Misfits got back together, but it wasn't really the Misfits. In the time since the theatrical hardcore punk greats broke up in 1983, frontman Glenn Danzig became a metal star with his band Danzig, and countless bands covered the Misfits and/or cited them as a key influence. The Crimson Skull logo was inescapable. So bassist Jerry Only and guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein put together a new version of the band. They needed a new frontman, and a 19-year-old New Jersey native named Michael Emanuel became known as Michale Graves.
