Heavy metal was infused by Danzig with a darker, more doom-laden edge, by a combination of bluesy riffs, occult themes and Glenn Danzig’s deep, baritone vocals. The career of Glenn Danzig took a darker route with his bands Misfits and Samhain. This progression helped in laying the groundwork for underground metal of the late 90’s and late 80’s.

His cult following, formed by albums such as Danzig, Lucifuge and How the Gods Kill, developed their admiration for his music because of the dark atmosphere, powerful choruses and a lead singer who, because of his stage presence, was likened to both Jim Morrison and Elvis.

Danzig’s live performances are the height of the theatrical, Danzig’s energy menacing yet mystical at the same time. For many fans, it is the knowledge that they are witnessing more than a concert that gives the experience such a special quality. They are participating in a ritual.

Visceral connections to the music of Danzig may be achieved through the purchase of memorabilia or passes to the band’s live shows. It was back in those days when metal was wild, intense and possessed a raw, unfiltered energy which made the music sound really threatening.
