Danzig - Danzig

Whether it's The Misfits, Samhain or Danzig, I'm a big fan of Glenn Danzig's work, obsessed with weight lifting and a bit of nutter on stage, he also writes lyrics that mirrors his (possibly) tongue-in-cheek evil outlook! With a crooning voice quite similar to Jim Morrison's and a metal sound slightly comparable to early doom metal, yet retaining some classic rock sounds and a little bit of punk left over from The Misfits days. What ever you think about Glenn's lyrics, I think he's written some catchy corkers! Twist of Cain, Mother, Am I Demon, She Rides and Not of This World are 5 legendary metal tracks and all on the same album! These are some of the easiest ...  Read the complete review

The self-styled Evil Elvis, Glenn Danzig's rock career is one I've enjoyed in its various incarnations, from his time fronting my favourite punk band the Misfits in their classic period through his brief work with Samhain and finally his successful 'solo' project that crosses into heavy metal territory.

He has a powerful voice that carries a sort of Mississippi Delta/New Orleans twang, which complements the bluesy feel to the songs. He's an interesting and ...  Read the complete review

When Glenn Danzig decided to depart from the Misfits in the mid '80's, he went on to explore his dark side further in the band Samhain. In 1988, Samhain performed a transmutation into the dark metal band, Danzig. Featuring Glenn Danzig on vocals, John Christ on guitar, Eerie Von on bass and punk legend Chuck Biscuits on drums, Danzig was a unique sounding, evil band. Taking metal music to a whole new level, this record released on Def American records and produced by Rick Rubin, is an attestation to Danzig's greatness. Glenn's voice is what I like to term 'The Evil Elvis'. His voice is strong, a pure, and is very ...  Read the complete review
