Into the deep waves of the Danzig catalogue, and you've got a band that has created high-tension hybrids that are still being pondered and quietly adopted throughout today's metal community. 'Five Finger Crawl' is a perfect example of Glenn's multiple deliveries within one song, Glenn whispering to a soundtrack of military metal countered with silken melody come chorus time.

He graduated from Lodi High School in 1973 and was in several bands, including Talus and Koo-Dot-N-Boo-Jang, before forming The Misfits. What the team has come upwirth is an inspiring and often trance-like Heavy Metal churn that understands the present and predicts the future, a record that re-writes the darkness of doom in the image of millennial technologies.

"Danzig 6 will have no problem living up to the hype, as well as the hyperspeeds at which that hype will spread through the net.

Who is Glenn Danzig?

Glenn Danzig is an American singer-songwriter and musician.

Danzig has also cited Bill Medley as a vocal influence. Thus, in 1987, Danzig emerged, featuring Glenn Danzig himself on vocals, bassist Eerie Von, guitarist John Christ, and drummer Chuck Biscuits.

Debut Album and Rise to Success

In 1988, Danzig released their eponymous debut album, showcasing blues-infused guitar riffs and Danzig's powerful melodic vocals.

Heed the warning: Danzig 6:66 Satan's Child is only the scabbard tip of what we can expect from Danzig throughout the birthing of a new rebel century. And speaking of Orgy, J. Gordon and Amir Derakh have stuck their hands into the pot and mixed fully seven of the record's twelve tracks. I don't like doing the same record over and over again. Not like any two from the catalogue have much in common.

'Cold Eternal' is a personal favorite of Glenn's, a song which he simply describes as "really, really sad." A treasure reveals itself within the closing track, '13', on which Glenn captures the classic but only occasional Danzig blues vibe, something that wraps Dylan's 'Ballad Of Hollis Brown', Robert Johnson's deal with the devil, not to mention Elvis and Johnny Cash in a dark blanket of woeful dirge rock that could only come from one band.

Glenn is a sonorious tenor blessed with the abilityto caress and terrorize all within a few short breaths.As the luck of the draw would have it, Danzig next found himself with an odd, unplanned Hit on his hands; a live version of the debut album's 'Mother' introducing the mainstream to this buffed-up, 'black leather powerhouse'. Expect to see a Samhain box set, followed by individual reissues of the records, reissues of the entire Danzig catalogue, plus no less than three new projects cradling the millennium: the second installment of Black Aria, a massive Danzig b-sides collection, and finally a double live album, culled from years spent headlining stages in front of mod hotshots like Korn, Soundgarden, Type O Negative and Marilyn Manson.

It is a sinister time in the tired life of one world ending, and it unmistakably a time for the destructive and redemptive powers of the next century's man in black.

While in The Misfits, Glenn also released a solo 7". He has directed films, written screenplays, and embarked on various endeavors that reflect his creative range.
