DANZIG's 'Drukija - Contessa Of Blood' Due Later This Month

June 6, 2007

DANZIG's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Get ready for Danzig's brutal 'Drukija - Contessa of Blood' [cover] later this month. Contessa Drukija brutalizes and tortures young virgins, drinking and bathing in their blood. This short story by Glenn Danzig is a cross between narrative and free verse and is illustrated by long time collaborator Simon Bisley. Bisley has painted many album covers for Danzig, including the latest 'Lost Tracks' cover and the upcoming cover for Doyle's solo project GORGEOUS FRANKENSTEIN. The 'Drukija' book is a limited edition so you might want to reserve one before they are all gone."

evilive last month released "The Lost Tracks of Danzig", a two-CD set comprised of 26 previously unreleased tracks that span DANZIG's entire career. All of the tracks were recorded during the band's seven-album "arc" that began with 1988's "Danzig".

The 26 songs on "The Lost Tracks of Danzig" are presented in chronological order; the first two cuts are "Pain Like an Animal" and "When Death Had No Name", both songs that have their roots in late SAMHAIN but evolved into two of the very first DANZIG tracks and intended for the band's self-titled debut. Fans will also find a song entitled "Angels of the Seventh Dawn", originally recorded for the 1990 album "Danzig II: Lucifuge", "Crawl Across Your Killing Floor", considered for "Danzig 6: Satan's Child", and the controversial "White Devil Rise", which was recorded for 1994's "Danzig 4p" and is Glenn's conjecture as to what would happen if Louis Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up against and start a race war with the Black Islamic movement. "The Lost Tracks of Danzig" also contains a special 12-page booklet with a foreword personally written by Glenn Danzig, a sentence or two with the history or an anecdote for each track, and plenty of vintage photos.
