Jerry Only

The 2016 Riot Fest gathering in Denver marked the historical return of the original Misfits core—Glenn Danzig, Jerry Only, and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein—sharing a stage for the first time in over thirty years. The live lineup was rounded out by drummer Dave Lombardo and guitarist Acey Slade.

Designed as a multi-frame contact sheet, this print compiles a sequential timeline of the performance, documenting stage movement, physical posture, and group dynamics across their catalog. It serves as a visual record of a foundational horror punk institution.

Photographed backstage at Douglas Park during Riot Fest Chicago on September 18, 2016, this candid portrait captures brothers Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein immediately following their reunion set with Glenn Danzig.

Directly before the shutter clicked, both turned to state, “This one’s for mom”. A print was subsequently provided to the family, documenting a personal moment behind the large-scale festival reunion.
