Misery Obscura: The Photography Of Eerie Von (1981-2009) Overview

From the deepest depths of punk rock's 1970s primordial wastelands, through the stygian goth swamps of the 1980s, and on into the bloodstained arenas of 1990s heavy metal, Eerie Von witnessed it all. Beginning as the unofficial photographer for punk legends The Misfits and later taking charge of the bass guitar as a founding member of underground pioneers Samhain and metal gods Danzig, the evil eye of Eerie Von's camera captured the dark heart of rock's most vital and bleeding-edge period, a time when rock and roll was not only dangerous, but downright menacing. Eerie Von's lens has documented everything from The Misfits' humble beginnings in Lodi, New Jersey, to the heights of Danzig's stadium-rock glory alongside metal superstars Metallica. As well as an essential visual document of music history, Eerie's road stories of triumph and damnation bring to life an era the likes of which will never again be seen.

Customer Reviews

First I will address the superficial side: The book itself looks amazing! It is well put together for a hardcover and the gloss appearance of the picture of Eerie looks really good and the quality and artistic approach to the book is 5 star! The contents: when I ordered the book I really thought I was going to get pictures without much backstory which I was fine with - as a Misfits/Samhain/Danzig fan for over 20 years now. I was really surprised to see the photos in this book as Eerie too some great intimate photos of the band. Eerie gives some great perspective on the years leading up to the break up of the original Danzig line up which was nice to hear sine we really only hear Glenn's side. Eerie keep everything professional and never picks on Danzig even though he has taken shots at Eerie in the past. It was a great trip to see some of the early photos from when Doyle joined the Misfits and even from before. I am amazed at some of the little things Eerie kept over the years which are shown in this book. Overall I highly recommend this book to Fiends everywhere. It will leave you wanting a classic Danzig era reunion for sure. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up before you can't find it. This book is MEANT to be bought as a hardcover. Great job Eerie and thanks for the walk down memory lane!
