Biography : Danzig

Starting up in the 70s with cult horror punk band the Misfits moving along with Samhain in the 80s inspiring an entire generation of punk/goth/metal bands. Forming DANZIG in 1987 and released the selftitled Rick Rubin-produced debut the following year. Danzig's sinister, no-holds-barred approach to blues-drenched agro-rock proved to be a perfect platform for Glenn's enormous and instantly identifiable voice.

Just like each of Glenn Danzigs prior works, it took the rest of the world a while to finally catch up. In 1993, the platinum-selling Thrall: Demonsweat Live EP with the song "Mother" instantly became a hit. While the hit was completely unscripted, it succeeded in exposing millions to the sound of DANZIG, forever darkening the skies of modern rock music.


The chilling and atmospheric album of 1990 Danzig II: Lucifuge uncovered a somewhat more diverse but equally powerful side of the band. In 1992 Danzig III: How The Gods Kill was released. The ambitious and admirable darkness of Danzig: IV (1994) and V: Blackacidevil (1996) challenged those who thought they had the band figured out, but the albums ultimately won both critical acclaim and new fans. In 1999, DANZIG's 6:66 Satan's Child was released and in 2002 the album 7:77: I Luciferi was released, both albums seeing Danzig returning slightly to his earlier, more organic sound.

Late 2003 Danzig entered the studio for the recording of what is to be his 8 album until this date. It includes 11 songs with the darkest songs ever written by Danzig. This unholy piece of art will be entitled "Circle of Snakes". Rarely does an artist have such a profoundly powerful audio and visual impact on the music scene as Danzig and "Cirlce of Snakes" will once again prove it.
