"Hybrid Moments" is a song by the American punk rock band Misfits, recorded in 1978 for their proposed debut album Static Age.
"Hybrid Moments" was one of a number of songs recorded by the Misfits in January–February 1978 for their proposed album Static Age, which would remain unreleased in its entirety until 1996.
[3] The song was first made officially available on the compilation album Legacy of Brutality, released in 1985, as a remix by Danzig of the original 1978 recording.
[3] In his book This Music Leaves Stains: The Complete Story of the Misfits, James Greene, Jr. writes that the song "owes much of its romantic drama to the touch of Roy Orbison but serves a swinging rock bravado all its own, finding a great middle ground between a vintage 1950s melodic approach with the weighty sensibilities of Black Sabbath.
"[8] Maggie Serota of Pitchfork also compared Danzig's vocals to those of Orbison, writing that "It takes a real commitment to the bit to croon the line, 'When new creatures rape your face/Hybrids opened up the door,' [...] and make it sound like it was plucked from a Roy Orbison ballad rather than a deleted Simon and Hecubus sketch from The Kids in the Hall.
