Legendary Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein is set to star in DEATH WARD 13, a remake of the cult-classic film DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT. With his iconic Devilock hair and impressive physical build, “Doyle” is best known as the guitar player for the American horror punk band the MISFITS and will play the most terrifying character in the film. Now in pre-production, DEATH WARD 13 is directed by award-winning horror filmmaker Todd Nunes (ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE) and produced by The Readmond Company.

”I’m looking forward to starting my movie career with a starring role in “Death Ward 13”says Doyle. “It’s time to release the beast on the big screen. Let the killing begin!”

“With Doyle’s horror punk background, we’ve always been looking for opportunities to have him cross over into film, but nothing has sparked his interest until now”, says Bruce Miyaki (Insane Management.) “Death Ward 13 is a great breakout film for Doyle – his fans are going to love it.”

Although he is known for playing guitar with the horror punk band the Misfits, which helped create the horror punk genre, Doyle also has a solo project rightfully named DOYLE. In 2013 Doyle released the Abominator album with Monsterman Records, and he is currently on tour in the USA supporting his new CD As We Die in stores May 5, 2017 through the Monsterman Records/EMP Label Group. DEATH WARD 13 is Doyle’s first starring role in a film; he is currently in talks with the film’s producers and Monsterman co-founder Bruce Miyaki to provide music tracks for the soundtrack.

DEATH WARD 13 is inspired by S.F. Brownrigg’s DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT (1973) and Edgar Allen Poe’s short story “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" (1845). DEATH WARD 13 promises to deliver a thrilling grindhouse-inspired remake with a shocking collection of criminally insane patients: botched lobotomies, necrophilia, sexual deviance, and violent psychopaths.

"I'm excited to work with Doyle,” says director Todd Nunes. “Doyle will be portraying a ruthless killer called The Duke - a psychopath and the most twisted and terrifying character in the movie. I’m a big fan of Doyle and his music and always thought he would make a menacing horror movie villain. With his threatening looks and massive build, this man will scare the crap out of everyone. Get ready for a horrifying ride!"

DEATH WARD 13 is Todd Nunes’ bloody love letter to DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT. This reimagined version will give fans a taste of the original film with added practical effects and bloody gore for modern horror fanatics. DEATH WARD 13 will also feature more nurses, freaks, and blood as well as a brutal climax with an updated, disturbing twist.

SYNOPSIS: It's 1973 and the Stephens Sanitarium for the Criminally Insane prepares to shut down permanently. Days before closing, four beautiful nursing students arrive to care for the last handful of “harmless" mental patients in a suspiciously understaffed ward. Confronted by their violent charges, the nurses soon realize that they are trapped inside the asylum with a deadly crew of vicious lunatics. Each patient has their own perverse identity, their own personal demons, and their own violent agenda. Pushed to the brink of insanity, the young nurses find themselves in a gruesome fight for survival inside Ward 13.

DEATH WARD 13 will begin shooting in 2017 with Todd Nunes partnering again with producers Stephen Readmond and Christopher Stanley. The team’s Santa slasher ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE (2016) received 23 awards and nominations, including the following wins: Best Slasher (RIP Horror Film Festival), Best Actress, Jessica Cameron as Sheila (Hardcore Horror Fest), Best Killer/Slasher (“Golden Skulls” Award, The Horrific Network), and Best Director (Hardcore Horror Fest).

DEATH WARD 13, written by Todd Nunes and Tara Knight, is a feature-length film by The Readmond Company, 4700 W. Jefferson Blvd, Suite 101, Los Angeles, CA 90016. info@deathward13.com, www.deathward13.com, https://twitter.com/DeathWard_13, https://www.facebook.com/DeathWard13.

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 and distribution deal with EMP LABEL GROUP, who will not only release AS WE DIE, the upcoming sophomore LP from the legendary guitarist’s eponymous project DOYLE, but distribute all releases for the guitarist’s label MONSTERMAN RECORDS.

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’s 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’s Hazaert.

“I worked really closely with Bruce (Miyaki – Doyle’s Manager) and MONSTERMAN on (Doyle’s 2013 release) Abominator, and I was actually the marketing director out of the gate on that release. Over the years, I’ve stayed involved, and we’re 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’t 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’s really not many out there who can hold a candle to DOYLE, in terms of talent OR legacy.”

EMP President David Ellefson agrees. “I’ve always loved Doyle and we’ve had a great relationship that goes back a long time. We’d 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’s official, we’re 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.”

Says Doyle, “When 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’s unheard of. We didn’t 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.”

DOYLE the current project of Von Frankenstein, with CANCERSLUG vocalist Alex “Wolfman” Story, and a current lineup rounded out by bassist Brandon Strate and drummer Brandon Pertzborn, continues the lineage of Doyle’s 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.

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’s Critically-acclaimed ABOMINATOR, the upcoming LP from LA Industrial Metal mainstays DEAD GIRLS CORP., and several additional 2017 releases TBA.

The Misfits are back and they said it would never happen, well never say never! Original Singer/Songwriter Glenn Danzig, Original Bassist Jerry Only and long-time Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein – for the “First Time in Over 30-Years” – will be stepping onto stage together as “The Original MISFITS” to headline Riot Fest & Rodeo in Denver, CO (September 2-4, 2016) and Riot Fest & Carnival in Chicago, IL (September 16-18, 2016).

From the time of their first gig in 1977, the MISFITS and their iconic imagery went on to become one of the most crucially influential, genre-defying bands to ever emerge from North America, the MISFITS significance extends well beyond the narrowed path of punk rock & hardcore.  Although not cognizant of how significant they would become, what the MISFITS achieved in their initial six-year window deconstructed and redefined rock music.

All the while, the MISFITS with Danzig’s unmistakable voice, Only’s ferocious bass sound and the bands anthemic songs, melody-induced choruses and authentically bruising musicianship, cemented their importance with all ensuing generations, whether in arena-filled metal shows or in a sweaty 400-cap club in Tucson.  And for the ‘First Time in over Three Decades,’ legions of diehard fans from around the world will have the opportunity to hear the Original Band that created thousands of bands in their wake.

Full line-up announcements for Riot Fest 2016 will be happening shortly. Riot Fest Three-Day Passes are now on sale and available on www.riotfest.org or www.ticketfly.com.

In the fallen remains of The Misfits rose a project that would find its origins through the vision of Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. Doyle, the hulking Misfits axe man, with his unmistakable presence and notorious guitar sound began to write songs that would soon be recorded and released under the banner of the name Gorgeous Frankenstein, which would later be changed to Doyle! Now that Doyle is on the road alongside Danzig busting out the old tunes of the historic past of The Misfits era, Doyle himself has taken some time to discuss the current touring trek and newest album release Abominator, with a second and third follow-up in the works as well as even further touring to really get that Doyle edge!

1. Introduce yourself, tell me what you do in DOYLE, and how long the band has been together.

Doyle: We've been working together since 2008, just got the record finished and put out an advance copy on April 17th of the Danzig tour, and once I get home we're going to add the lyrics and another song on it and put it out for release, get the ball rolling.

2. Do you ever see the original line-up of The Misfits to ever get back together? Would you ever consider getting back together even if it was for one showcase?

Doyle: I hope so I think that would be awesome and I would like to do it. But it's not up to me, I would say yes and I am trying to talk to the other guys they like to be the boss so... It would be great!

3. Do you ever get tired of answering questions about The Misfits?

Doyle: Naw not at all.

4. Tell me why did you want to make the Doyle's Made In Hell Hot Sauce?

Doyle: A friend of mine wanted to make it, so we had given money to this one guy and then made some samples and we rolled with it and it's a fun thing to have and a good sauce and I like to eat it.

5. What's it like be able to be a part of this Danzig 25th Anniversary Tour? You've had the chance to play alongside Glenn Danzig a few times now, how does this make you feel? Does it bring back the good old days of The Misfits?

Doyle: It's like a circus we have a good time here, very easy going and everyone works hard, got their jobs down,  just fun playing the old songs its fun.

6. Since your time with The Misfits, you have had other alternative projects, Kryst The Conqueror, Gorgeous Frankenstein, and now Doyle, would you ever consider bringing together all those acts onto one tour?

Doyle: No I just want to do the Doyle thing right now, we recorded  two albums at the same time and almost finished with the third one, once I get back home finish that album up with a few more songs, give it a title, and then release it that way we can just play shows not having to worry about recording another record, that's where we're at right now.

7. How would you say that this band has evolved from Gorgeous Frankenstein to Doyle?

Doyle: The songs were written at the same time and my singer left me a message so I called him up and he said let's change the name of the band, I said alright what should we change it to? How about Doyle? I said alright because the problem was this, people would come see us play and opening for Danzig only like 20 people or so would show up afterwards and tell me they didn't know I was in a band and was playing tonight. Or when we did our own tour I lost my shirt, we'd get 30 to 50 people and say again we didn't know you had a band with that band so it was the smartest thing to do really.

8. You've released your new album, Abominator, what can you tell me that hasn't been said about it already?

Doyle: I don't know what has been said I have been on the road but I guess it's been humbling and it's the best thing I have released, everyone who listens to it doesn't hear the same song so that's a good thing.

9. Why did you want to do an advance release of this album only at these Danzig showcases?

Doyle: I wanted to enlighten everyone that I have a band and it's called Doyle. The biggest problem I had was letting everyone know I had a band so everyone coming to the shows before didn't know who I was, so playing these Danzig shows, my name is on the bill and everyone knows who I am so buy the record.

10. What are your expectations for the CD?

Doyle: I want to make a living doing this, not work the regular job, be able to write music all day long, because you see with music people downloading it for free and not buying it, it's like say someone has a motorcycle why sell a bike so why sell our songs? So many people would be surprised to know that a lot of their favorite musicians are working a regular everyday job. Like 99% of them have regular everyday jobs only like 5 people I know of do not have to do that.

11. What plans do you have for the rest of this year?

Doyle: Finish up this tour just doing a lot of shows, trying to talk to Glenn into going to Japan and other places like Europe, East Coast, I know the music part but the business part I hit that brick wall so I need someone to help get the word out about this new record.

12. Anything else you'd like to say or add?

Doyle: Just buy the records, the songs, you want more go buy them don't steal them, it's our product to help feed our kids and families that's about it.
