Former Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein Signs Label/Distribution Deal With EMP Label Group, New Album As We Die Due In April 2017
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) As announced on the Black Carpet at the REVOLVER MUSIC AWARDS last night, 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 had 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.

DOYLE has also announced an extensive EUROPEAN TOUR in February, including several dates in the UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, and more. VIP and MEET AND GREET PASSES are available for purchase at officialdoyle.com
