Review of Danzig : 6:66 Satan's Child
Glenn Danzig has long treaded on the darker, heavier side of rock. From the late 1970s hardcore Misfits to the early '80s' Samhain to his '90s incarnation, Danzig, he's released a plethora of albums that, despite varying degrees of success, have always been distinguished by his compelling, distinctive, ominous voice. Much like the more successful White Zombie, Danzig's lyrics are often meant to be delivered and heard with a shared wink. And beneath the homages to horror films and underground comics, Danzig maintains a genuinely strong undercurrent of original creepiness. This outing, tinted with touches of techno/industrial, is generally strong. Though less bombastic and more mysterious than earlier efforts, Satan's Child boasts tried-and-true bottom-heavy riffing and searing guitars mixed in with mysterious, quieter interludes, making it a suitable selection for musical madness on Halloween, and beyond. --Katherine Turman

Your latest reviews - Danzig : Danzig's Most Diversified Effort...
Danzig's debut introduced him into the world of metal, and for those who were fans of Samhain and early Misfits, they wanted to follow Danzig's career. With a new band (John Christ-guitars, Eerie Von-bass, Chuck Biscuits-drums) and a very blues-rock feel, Danzig was back. While the debut was a simplistic affair of good blues metal, LUCIFUGE introduces a more expanded pallette for Danzig.

Encompassing everything from blues to metal,rock to shuffle, LUCIFUGE is by far the most diversified album from Danzig's career. His vocal prowess on this album is equally as intoxicating, harnessing power that is missing from his later efforts. Musically, the album tends to shift from hard rockers ("Her Black Wings", "Long Way Back From Hell") to some boogie blues numbers ("I'm The One", "Killer Wolf"). This album is all over the rock map, and LUCIFUGE ranks as one of the bands best albums.

"Snakes of Christ" is flat-out a rewrite of the debut's "Twist of Cain", but it's irresistible flair will grab you and never let go. Likewise, "Her Black Wings" ranks with the band's best songs, with a sinister riff and a memorable chorus. "777" is devilish fun thanks to its bluesy slide guitar fade into the explosive chorus, and "Blood and Tears" is a sweet, tender ballad that has Danzig crooning his heart out. "Tired of Being Alive" is a standard but very memorable hard rock crunch, and the musical focus is dead-on. Even "Pain in the World" ends the album on a slightly aggressive note, making the listener aware that Danzig means business.

So while he would shift into straight blues-metal territory with the haunting and beautifully crafted HOW THE GODS KILL and then into straight metal with DANZIG 4, LUCIFUGE allowed the band to explore their fondness of blues, waltz, and shuffle-boogie with surprisingly astonishing results. With Danzig's vocals at the start of his prime and the music beginning to take shape, LUCIFUGE is a tightly constructed, impressive musical collection.
