On April 25, 1997, during the performance in Lund, Sweden, Misfits was in a transitional phase, having reformed in 1995 with a new lineup led by Jerry Only, who acquired the rights to the band's name and legacy. Before this show, they released "American Psycho" in 1997, which was their first record to feature new material since the original band's dissolution in the early 1980s. This album marked a significant moment as it blended the classic punk horror aesthetic with a more polished sound, appealing to both old fans and a new generation. By this time, Misfits had also expanded their tour presence and began reviving their classic songs alongside new material, indicating their intent to reestablish their relevance in the punk scene. The Lund concert was an important point in their post-reunion era, showcasing both their historical roots and a new chapter in their musical journey.
