4th album from 1994 by this influential American band led by Glenn Danzig, and the final release recorded by the classic lineup featuring John Christ, Eerie Von and Chuck Biscuits. Widely regarded by many fans as the perfect closing chapter of that era, it captures the band at one of its most mature and creative peaks before the major stylistic changes that would follow.
Its sound retains the trademark blend of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and dark Blues Rock established on the earlier albums while introducing richer textures, darker atmospheres and subtle experimental elements that hinted at the band's future direction. Powerful riffs, a masterful vocal performance from Glenn Danzig and a dense, melancholic mood make this one of the most personal and sophisticated releases in the band's catalogue.

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.
5th album from 1996 by this influential American band led by Glenn Danzig, and arguably the most controversial release of the band's entire career. Issued after the collapse of the classic lineup and the departure of producer Rick Rubin, it marked a dramatic shift toward industrial and electronic territory that left many longtime fans bewildered upon release.
Far removed from the dark, blues-infused Heavy Metal of the first four albums, the record emphasizes synthesizers, programming, electronic effects and oppressive atmospheres, while still retaining Glenn's unmistakable songwriting identity. Featuring guest appearances by Jerry Cantrell (ALICE IN CHAINS) and a highly distinctive reworking of BLACK SABBATH's "Hand of Doom", it stands as a bold and divisive release that has gradually earned appreciation as one of the most experimental and unique entries in the Danzig catalogue.
Recommended for fans of: MINISTRY, NINE INCH NAILS, WHITE ZOMBIE and SAMHAIN.
2nd album from 1990 by this influential American band led by Glenn Danzig, firmly consolidating the musical direction established after the end of SAMHAIN and moving even further away from his Punk roots in favour of a darker, heavier and more distinctive sound. Widely regarded as one of the finest releases of his entire career, it represented a major step forward in songwriting, atmosphere and identity.
Its sound blends Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Blues Rock with a dark and occult atmosphere that became the band's trademark. Heavy riffs, moody textures, memorable melodies and Glenn Danzig's charismatic vocal performance drive a record packed with classics such as "Her Black Wings", "I'm the One" and "Long Way Back From Hell". An essential album that helped define the DANZIG sound and stands as one of the highlights of American Heavy Metal in the 1990s.
Recommended for fans of: THE CULT, TYPE O NEGATIVE, ALICE IN CHAINS and SAMHAIN.
