The Devil's Rain (album)

The Devil's Rain
A black-robed figure with a skull for a head and skeletal gloves stands atop a rock pile. Around and above him is a storm of rain, dark clouds, and lightning. About him at his feet are terrified onlookers, their flesh being dissolved from their bodies by the titular "Devil's Rain". The scene is lit by a flash of lightning, and the band's name, "Misfits", appears in large letters across the bottom.
The cover artwork is by artist Arthur Suydam.

The Devil's Rain is the seventh studio album by horror punk band Misfits, released October 4, 2011, through the label that the Misfits own, Misfits Records. It is the band's first album in eight years, following 2003's covers record Project 1950, and the first of original material since 1999's Famous Monsters.[1] It is also the only release by the band's lineup of Jerry Only, Dez Cadena, and Eric "Chupacabra" Arce.[2] The Devil's Rain was produced by Ed Stasium, who previously worked with the band on Famous Monsters.[1]

The album is titled after the 1975 horror film of the same name and features cover artwork by Arthur Suydam, who previously did the cover of the band's 2009 single "Land of the Dead".[3] Both songs from that single—"Land of the Dead" and "Twilight of the Dead"—were re-recorded for The Devil's Rain, and "Twilight of the Dead" was released as the album's lead single, with "Land of the Dead" as the b-side.[1] The Misfits supported the album with tours of the United States and Australia from September to December 2011.[2][4]
