DANZIG: New Song Available For Streaming
May 29, 2010"On a Wicked Night", a brand new song from DANZIG, is available for streaming below. The track comes off the band's first new studio album in six years, "Deth Red Sabaoth", which is due on June 22 via evilive/The End Records. The CD is an 11-track collection penned by Danzig, and is laced with Glenn's lycanthropic growls and blues-infected wailing. Tracks, including "Black Candy" and "The Revengeful", emit a spectral glow to rival the highest points in Danzig's colossal discography. Part I of the exquisite two-part "Pyre of Souls" opens with acoustic guitar, haunting piano, Glenn's plainsong vocal, and an almost dirge-like feel; Part II explodes with electric guitars and a driving, mesmerizing cadence.

* Stunning porcelain-like urn with exclusive art on all four sides, aprox. 11 x 8"

Glenn Danzig has received many titles, from the Godfather of Dark Metal to a punk pioneer to a man of integrity, but most agree that over his near-30-year career, his intense musical and lyrical statements have left a permanent mark on rock music. He is a gifted songwriter, and his songs have been covered by such diverse artists as JOHNNY CASH, METALLICA, GUNS N' ROSES, and ROY ORBISON, just to name a few. His "13", originally written for Johnny Cash and then recorded for Glenn's own "Satan's Child", was the opening song in last year's box office smash and Golden Globe winner "The Hangover".
