Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (usually just called Earth A.D.) was the last album The Misfits recorded with Glenn Danzig. It was released in December 1983, two months after they played their last concert with Danzig. It was noticeably harder and faster than their previous releases. The themes were also quite darker than the previous releases, featuring often gory and demonic lyrics. Although it isn't a heavy metal album, it has many elements that are closer to metal than punk.

Originally released as a 9 song LP, it was later issued with the three tracks of the Die, Die My Darling EP incorporated into the track listing.

In several print and radio interviews, Glenn Danzig has said that the tracks "Bloodfeast" and "Death Comes Ripping" were originally intended for Samhain's first release, but were added to what would be the Misfits' final record in a last-ditch effort to save the band.

Metallica covered "Die, Die My Darling" for their 1998 cover album Garage Inc, as well as "Green Hell", which was originally covered by Metallica for their 1987 album, Garage Days Re-Revisited, as part of a medley with "Last Caress".
