Myke Hideous (born October 15, 1966) is an American gothic rock singer and songwriter from New Jersey. He is the founder and frontman of the gothic rock band The Empire Hideous, which was active throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. He also performed with The Bronx Casket Co., Spy Society 99, and the Misfits as a fill-in vocalist on their South American and European tours that took place from May to July in 1998.
The early Empire Hideous years
Myke Hideous formed The Empire Hideous in 1988, for which he was the lead singer and songwriter. The group issued its first recording, a 12" EP titled The Empire Hideous in 1990. Although the band went through numerous personnel changes throughout the 1990s, they released two subsequent EPs, a live album (I'm Dead, You're Dead, We're All Dead, 1998) and a live studio recording (Victim Destroys Assailant, 1998). The band toured throughout the USA during the 1990s. Myke crafted an enigmatic and brooding stage persona and would become known among fans for his often shocking stage antics, including being whipped in between songs, donning a crown of thorns, and inserting hypodermic needles into his flesh. Mark Steiner released a documentary film entitled To Build an Empire, about The Empire Hideous.

I love the Hideous content. For us of the “ Gothic” persuasion, he’s the coolest thing that never happened for the Misfits. That was a misstep on their part. He could’ve saved it. The guy is an incredible talent that absolutely fell through the cracks, through no fault of his own. His own music is way more complex than the Misfits, and stands on its own as some of the best Gothic Rock from the whole country. I still listen to his records…. And I really hope that one day he does return to music. I think he still has a ton to give. Just my take.
