During an interview with 98 Rock, Glenn Danzig was asked about the possibility of new music from Danzig and Misfits. The frontman has no desire to release new albums, but he did confirm that he is open to the possibility of singles.

Danzig said the following about playing live shows with Misfits:

“It worked out that way for a reason, I guess. Everything happens for a reason — that’s how I think — and so when it’s meant to happen, it happens. And so it ended up happening, and people should enjoy it while we’re still doing it, because I’ve always said, when I can’t do it anymore, I won’t go on there and do it. You know what I mean? I’m not gonna go up there and pretend to play and have tapes or whatever. I’m not gonna do that. So if it ever becomes that, where physically or vocally I can’t do it, I won’t do it. So, people should go check it out now, ’cause you never know what’s gonna happen. The world could end tomorrow. It’s a crazy world right now.”

The frontman continued after the interviewer mentioned how Danzig songs may be harder to sing, but Misfits shows seem to require “more energy”:

“The Danzig songs have a greater vocal range than the MISFITS songs. So, yeah, the Danzig songs are more difficult to sing, that’s for sure.”

He then went on to comment on the possibility of new Misfits material:

“Maybe a song. Not an album.”

He also added the following when asked about a new Danzig album:

“No. [Laughs] Look, people now just wanna download your stuff for free, and they don’t understand that it costs money to go in a studio and record a record. So it’s not really a great business model to go and record a record and then not be able to recoup your money that you spent making the record. So, with Danzig, it might be like the Misfits — maybe I’ll record a song or two and just release it, and it won’t cost that much.

In the beginning, the Misfits only released singles. We couldn’t afford to put out an album. But a lot of the punk bands, that’s how it was — you couldn’t afford to do an album, especially if you were underground. You weren’t on a big label, [so] you could only afford to do a single. So maybe I’ll do that for Danzig, and maybe we’ll do it for the Misfits. We’ll see.”
