Danzig
Former leader of the punk band The Misfits, singer Glenn Danzig's fascination with the dark side has been an inspiration to goths and metalheads for nearly 25 years. After the New Jersey-based Misfits broke up in 1983, Danzig formed the more metallic Samhain before going solo in 1987. Joined by guitarist John Christ, bassist Eerie Von on bass, and ex-Circle Jerks/Black Flag drummer Chuck Biscuits, Danzig used his fiendish-sounding vocals to explore the line between cartoon HM and genuinely Satanic music, as the band released a series of albums on fan Rick Rubin's Def Jam label. A live video of an old tune, "Mother," became a huge MTV hit in 1993, but 1994's more mellow Danzig 4 was a flop, and Danzig debuted a whole new lineup for 1996's Danzig 5:Blackacidevil. Legal wrangling over musical issues kept Danzig silent for a while, before the release of 6:66 Satan's Child in 1999. |
