Surprisingly only the third live
Misfits
album, this live recording combines back-to-back 2011 performances, from Devil's Night at Starland Ballroom in
the Misfits
' hometown of Sayreville, New Jersey, and Halloween night at B.B. King's in Times Square, N.Y.C. From the opening thunderclaps and audience chants of "Jerry! Jerry!," it's abundantly clear that
Dead Alive!
features a post-
Danzig
group. With guitarist
Dez Cadena

Black Flag

Murphy's Law

The Devil's Rain

Glenn Danzig
. Even if the material stems mainly from a lackluster late-period record,

It's a treat to hear their horror punk rendition of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture Show, and at the very least, they don't appear to be merely going through the motions. ~ Jason Lymangrover
