Danzig
1987 saw the birth of a new band by Glenn Danzig, the charismatic frontman of Samhain and The Misfits. With Satan in the lyrics and image, it was an alloy of heavy metal, blues and Elvis in sound. The rise of Danzig was a real event in the music scene. All the more so because the band's debut album, simply titled Danzig, was the first to be released with the Def American sticker, the label of Rick Rubin, also the producer of this cult material.
Danzig's first album showed the enormous potential of combining Glenn's distinctive vocals with catchy riffs. Powerful, dynamic yet melodic and wonderfully sung songs such as Mother, Am I Demon and Twist of Cain are memorable and have gained cult status over the years. The second album, Danzig II – Lucifuge (1990), continued the hitmaking known from the first recordings. Released two years later, Danzig III: How the Gods Kill was a major success – the album reached number 24 on the Billboard chart, among others. In 1993, Danzig released the mini-album Thrall: Demonsweatlive, followed by the album Danzig 4 the following year. These were the last collaborative recordings of the first line-up. Between 1995 and 2020, Danzig released eight albums and a number of smaller releases, oscillating around satanic themes familiar throughout his work. Glenn has also paid tribute to Elvis Presley – his latest album Danzig Sings Elvis is a collection of covers of the legendary singer and the leader's great inspiration.
