DANZIG

8th album from 2004 by this influential American band led by Glenn Danzig, and the first release in the band's catalogue to abandon the numbered-title tradition that had defined the previous seven studio albums. Released after "I Luciferi", it marked a return to a more direct, heavy and organic sound, moving away from some of the industrial and alternative experimentation of earlier years.

Its sound brings back much of the darkness, heaviness and Heavy Metal spirit of classic DANZIG, driven by massive riffs, gloomy atmospheres and a particularly strong vocal performance from Glenn. The arrival of Tommy Victor (PRONG) on guitar injected fresh energy into the band, resulting in one of the strongest and most aggressive releases of their later career.

Recommended for fans of: SAMHAIN, TYPE O NEGATIVE, THE CULT and PRONG.
