Danzig, a Heavy Metal Legend!

Of course no heavy metal fan is without a number of Danzig albums-they're to their day very big players in the genre. Formed in 1987 by Glenn Danzig after his stint in Samhain, the new band would start working right away, releasing their debut album in 1988. From then on it was up and down with Danzig as they would try out different styles and would therefore seem to trade in their fanbase for a new one every other album. They would hit a high point in the early 90s with the release ofDanzig III, which featured H.R. Giger artwork on the cover and is considered the seminal Danzig experience. With 8 albums under their belt and counting, they don't show any signs of slowing down anytime soon, and are rumored to be at work on #9.
What's not to like about Danzig? Their dark tunes have a goth-like feel while simultaneously stay true to their genre, which is Heavy Metal, pure and simple. They can do loud music, soft music, and everything in-between. Clearly Danzig's sound has evolved over the years, and some fans would say that's not a good thing, but we say it's proof of an intelligent band ever on the move, never afraid to explore and take risks. They may not always pay off, but when they do it's music to our ears.
