In 1990, fans were
able to hear the return of Jerry Only and Doyle to the music
industry. After a four year hiatus after the break up of the
Misfits in 1983, the brothers formed "Kryst The
Conqueror" in 1987. A departure from the punk scene,
this heavy metal act recorded a full LP in 1989 entitled
"Deliver Us From Evil". Referred to as their
"guitar-shop" album, most of the Kryst material was
written while trying to develop the perfect guitars *hence, the
birth of the "Devastator" bass and the
"Annihilator" guitar. In 1990, songs from the full
LP were released on a 5 track EP of the same name, ending seven
years of silence, and thus a return to the fold. Although
Kryst The Conqueror never achieved the success they had hoped, the
music and the band was a stepping stone for Jerry Only, Doyle, and
Dr. Chud who would later resurrect The Misfits in 1995. If
you want to see the original "Deliver Us From Evil" LP
released, please check out my petition...and be a part of the
Kryst Krusade.

Notes: At the time of the EP's release, Jeff Scott Soto was under
contract to Yngwie Malmsteen and therefore had to remain
anonymous. For this reason he was listed as Kryst The Conqueror on
the insert. There are two versions of the cassette inlay card. The
most common version lists only the album title on the side. Some
of the later copies also list the band name in smaller letters.
