GLENN DANZIG Calls New LP 'A Pain In The Butt'

June 15, 2007

Glenn Danzig recently spoke to MTV.com about "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".

"These are definitely not throwaway songs," Danzig said. "A lot of them were supposed to be released as B-sides or singles, but it didn't happen. Other tracks were supposed to be included on older records but didn't get finished in time. And then some songs were good but just didn't fit the vibe of where a particular record was going."

The earliest songs on "The Lost Tracks of Danzig", "Pain Is Like an Animal" and "When Death Had No Name", were written toward the tail end of Glenn Danzig's tenure in SAMHAIN, the group he formed after leaving the MISFITS in 1983 and dismantled in 1990. "I included two versions of 'When Death Has No Name' because I wanted to show how it developed," he said. "The first recording was really broad and very produced and the other one is more raw. I think we recorded that song at every DANZIG session up until [1992's] 'Danzig III: How the Gods Kill'."
