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. Hideous auditioned for the Misfits' original reformation in 1995, losing out to Michale Graves. The following year, Mark Steiner released a documentary film entitled To Build an Empire, about The Empire Hideous. In 1998, he was hired as a fill-in vocalist for the Misfits when Michale Graves took an indefinite hiatus because he did not want to go on an extensive tour outside the United States.[citation needed] He performed vocals during the band's shows on the Europe and South America tours that summer, but Graves returned to the band after the tour was completed. https://www.mykehideous.com/
