DANZIG - DANZIG
Danzig is an American band that fuses dark lyrics and imagery with Blues-inspired Heavy Metal music. The band serves as a musical outlet for singer/composer Glenn Danzig. The band can be seen as the third stage in Glenn Danzig's musical career, preceded by the Horror punk band The Misfits and the band Samhain.
Having formed and begun recording as Danzig the previous year, in 1988 the band released its first album, simply titled "Danzig", on Rick Rubin's newly formed label Def American (later renamed to American Recordings). The album featured polished production by Rick Rubin, with heavy, Blues-based guitar riffs and Glenn's powerful and melodic vocal performance--a harsh contrast to the gritty, raw-sounding production of Samhain's albums. The album was released to lukewarm reviews, but is now considered by many heavy metal publications to be among the best hard rock albums of all time.
