Beginning in the mid-1970s, Danzig's musical career has encompassed a number of genres through the years, including punk rock and heavy metal, and incorporating influences from industrial, blues and classical music. He has also written songs for other musicians, most notably Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.[2]

As a singer, Danzig is noted for his baritone voice and tenor vocal range; his style has been compared to those of Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, and Howlin' Wolf.[3][4][5] Danzig has also cited Bill Medley as a vocal influence.[6]

Early life

Danzig was born Glenn Allen Anzalone, the third of four sons,[7] in Lodi, New Jersey. His father was a television repairman and a United States Marine Corps veteran of World War II and the Korean War.[8] His mother worked at a record store.[9] Danzig and his family also spent some time living in Revere, Massachusetts.[10][11] Danzig began listening to heavy metal music at an early age, and has described Black Sabbath, the Ramones, Blue Cheer, and The Doors as being among his early musical influences.[6]

At age 10, Danzig began to use drugs and alcohol, leading him into frequent fights and trouble with the law.[12] He stopped using drugs at age 15.[12]

While growing up, Danzig began reading the works of authors including Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe, developing his appreciation for horror.[13] Danzig collected comic books and, frustrated by American comics, he started his own company to produce "crazy, violent, erotic comics".[14]

Danzig graduated from Lodi High School in June 1973, aspiring to become a comic book creator[15] and professional photographer. He attended the Tisch School of the Arts and later the New York Institute of Photography.[16] Danzig formed an adult-oriented comic book company called Verotik in the mid-1990s.[17]

Musical career

Early career

Glenn Danzig's introduction to performing music began when he took piano and clarinet lessons as a child.[18] He later taught himself how to play the guitar.[18] Danzig started in the music business at the age of 11, first as a drum roadie[17] and then playing in local garage bands.[15] He had never taken vocal lessons, but his self-taught vocal prowess gained him attention in the local scene. Throughout his teenage years he sang for several local bands, such as Talus and Koo-Dot-N-Boo-Jang, most of which played half original songs and half Black Sabbath songs.[19]

Misfits and Samhain (1977–1987)

In the mid-1970s, Danzig started the Misfits, releasing the band's records through his own label, (originally known as Blank, then later as Plan 9).[20] Danzig had attempted to get the Misfits signed to several record labels, only to be told that he would never have a career in music.[21] The impetus for the band's name comes from Marilyn Monroe's last film,[22] combined with Danzig considering himself to be a "social misfit".[2] In October 1983, after releasing several singles and three albums, and gaining a small underground following, Danzig disbanded the Misfits due to his increasing animosity for the other band members and his dissatisfaction with their musical abilities.[2] Danzig explained his decision: "It was difficult for me to work with those guys, because they weren't prepared to put in the hours practicing. I wanted to move things forward, and they didn't seem to have the same outlook. So it was time for me to move on."[22]

After the Misfits, he began work on a new band project, Samhain. The origins of Samhain began when Danzig started rehearsing with Eerie Von, formerly of Rosemary's Babies.[23] Danzig took the name of the band from the ancient Celtic New Year, which influenced the evolution of the modern Halloween. Initially Samhain was conceived as a punk rock "super group". The band briefly featured members of Minor Threat and Reagan Youth, who contributed to Samhain's 1984 debut, Initium. The band then settled with a lineup consisting of Eerie Von on bass, Damien on guitar, and Steve Zing on drums (later replaced by London May). In 1985 the Unholy Passion EP was released, followed by November-Coming-Fire in 1986.

Samhain eventually began to attract the interest of major labels including Epic and Elektra.[24] Rick Rubin, music producer and head of the Def American label, would see the band perform at the 1986 New Music Seminar, on the advice of then-Metallica bassist Cliff Burton.[24][25] Danzig has credited both Burton and Metallica frontman James Hetfield with helping to raise awareness about his music: "I first met them at a Black Flag gig, and then we became kinda friends. We'd often bump into each other on the road...James and Cliff helped to spread the word about me, and I was very grateful to them."[22]

Danzig

"Classic" era (1987–1994)

In 1987, after two albums and an EP, Samhain was signed to a major label by Rubin and the name of the band was changed to Danzig to allow the band to retain its name in the event of line-up changes.[16] Danzig discussed the reasoning behind the name change: "Rick [Rubin] convinced me it was the way to go, and would also provide me with a lot more artistic freedom. After all, I was now in charge of where we were going musically, so if I didn't want to do something, it was a lot easier to say so."[22]

Danzig's intention at the time was for each album he recorded to consist of a different recording line-up, allowing him to keep working with different musicians.[26] The original band consisted of guitarist John Christ, bassist Eerie Von, and former Circle Jerks–DOA–Black Flag drummer Chuck Biscuits.

In 1987, Danzig, owing to his association with Rubin, was asked to write a song for Roy Orbison. The result was "Life Fades Away", featured in the 1987 movie Less than Zero.[2] Danzig also contributed to the film's soundtrack with "You and Me (Less than Zero)".[2] Danzig had originally been asked to write the song for a female vocalist, but when Rubin could not find a suitable singer Danzig recorded the vocals himself.[27] The song is credited to "Glenn Danzig and the Power Fury Orchestra", which featured the same membership as the initial lineup of Danzig, with the exception of Eerie Von. Since Von did not like the way producer Rubin wanted the bass played on the song, George Drakoulias played the bass instead.

In 1988, the newly formed band Danzig released their eponymous debut. Its sound showed a progression from the gothic–deathrock sound of Samhain, to a slower, heavier, more blues-based heavy metal sound.

In 1990, the band's sophomore effort Danzig II: Lucifuge marked an immediate change in musical direction. The album's overall bluesier tone and somewhat milder approach were departures from Danzig, featuring a 50s-style ballad ("Blood & Tears") and a full-on acoustic blues ("I'm the One").

Other projects in 1990 included the final Samhain album Final Descent. The album was started under the title Samhain Grim several years prior. The album contained previously unreleased studio recordings, at least some of which had been intended for the Samhain Grim album before it was aborted.

In 1992, Danzig once again changed musical direction, releasing the darker Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. Several songs would feature a more textured, slower sound in between fast, dominant guitar riffs.

Also in 1992, Danzig tried his hand at composing classical music with Black Aria. The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard classical music chart.[28]

In 1993, Danzig released Thrall-Demonsweatlive, an EP featuring both studio recordings and live tracks. Danzig broke into the mainstream when the live video of "Mother '93" became a hit on MTV and earned Buzz Bin rotation,[29] six years after the original song was recorded. During this time the band reached its commercial peak, with both the debut album and Thrall-Demonsweatlive being certified Gold, and "Mother" becoming the band's highest charting single. Both Danzig and Thrall-Demonsweatlive have since been certified Platinum.[30]

In 1994, the release of Danzig 4 saw the band going further into a darker and more experimental sound. The album also saw further development of his vocal style and range; most notable in songs like "Let It Be Captured" and a more blues based approach on songs like "Going Down to Die".

Also in 1994, Danzig wrote the song "Thirteen" for Johnny Cash, which appeared on the album American Recordings.[2]

Later years (1995–2004)

In 1996, the band underwent a complete overhaul. The original lineup had fallen apart, as had Glenn Danzig's relationship with their record label, American Recordings, with label owner Rick Rubin's involvement as producer diminishing with each album.[16] Danzig would later engage in a legal battle with Rubin over unpaid royalties and the rights to the band's unreleased songs.[18] Danzig enlisted new bandmates, most notably Joey Castillo who would continue to be the band's drummer until 2002.

Once again, he explored a new musical direction and recorded Blackacidevil; this time infusing heavy metal with industrial rock. Danzig went on to sign a deal with Hollywood Records, which led to several religious groups boycotting its parent company Disney for signing a controversial "satanic" band.[31][32] As a result, the label pulled support for Blackacidevil and the record deal was severed.[33]

In September 1999, Danzig signed his band to E-Magine Records, becoming the first artist on the label.[34] The deal also led to the release of a Samhain box set and the re-release of Blackacidevil.[34]

Danzig's subsequent three albums, 6:66 Satan's Child (1999), I Luciferi (2002) and Circle of Snakes (2004), all musically and lyrically evolved to a more stripped down, heavier gothic metal sound. The Danzig lineup continued to change with each album, while Danzig's voice started to show change after years of touring.

In 1999, during the U.S. touring for the album 6:66 Satan's Child Danzig reunited Samhain along with drummers Steve Zing and London May. Then-Danzig guitarist Todd Youth was invited by Glenn Danzig to fill in the guitar position for the Samhain reunion tour, replacing Samhain's original guitarist, Pete "Damien" Marshall, who had opted out in order to tour with Iggy Pop. Eerie Von was not invited to rejoin Samhain due to personal issues within the band. Both Zing and May handled bass duties, switching from drums to bass in between the "Blood Show".

In 2003, Danzig founded the Blackest of the Black tour to provide a platform for dark and extreme bands of his choosing from around the world.[35][36] Bands featured on the tour have included Dimmu Borgir, Superjoint Ritual, Nile, Opeth, Lacuna Coil, Behemoth, Skeletonwitch, Mortiis and Marduk.

Recent activity (2005–2011)

In 2005, Danzig's tours to support the Circle of Snakes album and the Blackest of the Black Tour were highlighted by the special guest appearance of Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. Doyle joined Danzig on stage for a 20-minute set of classic Misfits songs: "To do this right, I invited Doyle to join Danzig on stage at 'Blackest of the Black' for a special guest set. This is the first time we will be performing on stage together in 20 years. It's the closest thing to a Misfits reunion anyone is ever going to see."[37]

On October 17, 2006, he released his second solo album Black Aria II. The album reached the top ten on the Billboard classical music chart.[38]

In November 2006, Danzig toured the west coast with former Samhain drummer Steve Zing on bass. They played three Samhain songs including "All Murder All Guts All Fun". In Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Doyle joined the band onstage for the encore and played two Misfits songs, "Skulls" and "Astro Zombies".[39]

In 2007 Danzig produced the debut album by ex-Misfits guitarist Doyle's metal-influenced band, Gorgeous Frankenstein.[40]

In July 2007, Danzig released The Lost Tracks of Danzig, a compilation of previously unreleased songs. The project took nine months to complete with Glenn Danzig having to add extra vocal and instrument tracks to songs that had been unfinished.[41] The album included the controversial "White Devil Rise", recorded during the sessions for Danzig 4 in response to inflammatory comments by Louis Farrakhan and his use of the term "The White Devil".[42][43] The song is Danzig's conjecture as to what would happen if Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up and start a race war: "No one wants to see a race war. It would be terrible, so the song's saying, 'Be careful what you wish for.'"[43][44] Danzig himself has bluntly denied any accusations of racism: "As far as me being an Aryan or a racist, anyone who knows me knows that's bullshit."[16]

In October and November 2007, Danzig toured the western United States, along with Gorgeous Frankenstein, Horrorpops, and Suicide City. This "3 Weeks of Halloween" tour was in support of his most recent album, The Lost Tracks of Danzig, as well as the newest graphic novel release from Verotik, Drukija: Countessa of Blood.[45] On October 23, 2007, Danzig was performing the song "How the Gods Kill" in Baltimore and fell off the stage, injuring his left arm. He did not perform the Misfits set that night,[45] but he continued the tour and played classic Misfits tunes with Doyle onstage as an encore with a sling on his left arm after the injury.

In 2008, Danzig confirmed he had recorded the first duet of his career, with Melissa Auf der Maur.[46] The song, titled "Father's Grave", features Danzig singing from the perspective of a gravedigger and appears on Auf der Maur's 2010 album Out of Our Minds.[47] Auf der Maur has spoken highly about the experience of meeting and working with Danzig.[47]

Danzig's ninth album, Deth Red Sabaoth, was released on June 22, 2010.[48]

In a July 2010 interview with Metal Injection, Glenn Danzig was asked if he was going to make another Danzig record after Deth Red Sabaoth. His response was, "I don't know, we'll see. With the way record sales are now...I won't do some stupid pro-tool record in someone's living room where all the drum beats are stolen from somebody and just mashed together...and I'm not going to do that if I can't do a record how I want to do it, and if it's not financially feasible, I'm just not going to do one."[49]

During the later quarter of 2011 Danzig performed a string of one-off reunion shows called the "Danzig Legacy" tour. The shows consisted of a Danzig set, followed by a Samhain set, then closing off with Danzig and Doyle performing Misfits songs.[50]

During the third date of Metallica's 30-year anniversary shows at the Fillmore Theater in San Francisco; Danzig went on stage with Metallica to perform the Misfits songs "Die, Die My Darling", "Last Caress", and "Green Hell".[51]

Danzig has said he wishes to avoid extensive and exhaustive touring in the future, preferring instead to focus on his various music, film and comic book projects: "I don't really want to tour. My reason for not doing it is because I'm bored of it. I like being onstage, but I don't like sitting around all day doing nothing. I could be home, working."[18][52] Danzig has started work on a third Black Aria album,[53] and a covers album is set for release by the end of 2013.[13] Danzig hopes to record a dark blues album involving Jerry Cantrell and Hank III.[18][54] He is currently working on new Danzig material with Tommy Victor and Johnny Kelly.[55][56][57]

In 2014, Danzig filed a lawsuit against Misfits bassist Jerry Only claiming Only registered trademarks for everything Misfits-related in 2000 behind Danzig's back, misappropriating exclusive ownership over the trademarks for himself, including the band's iconic "Fiend Skull" logo, violating a 1994 contract the two had. Danzig claims that after registering the trademarks, Only secretly entered into deals with various merchandisers and cut him out of any potential profits in the process.[58] On August 6, 2014, a U.S. district judge in California dismissed Danzig's lawsuit.[59]

On October 21, 2015, during an interview with Loudwire, Danzig stated his current tour with Superjoint could be his last.[60]

On May 12, 2016, Danzig, Only, and Frankenstein announced they would perform together as the Misfits for the first time in 33 years in two headlining shows at the September 2016 Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver.[61] He later noted that he would be "open to possibly doing some more shows". The reunited Misfits did more shows and Danzig enforced a "no cell phone" policy at the reunion shows.[62] The reunited "Original Misfits" sold out a succession of arenas, a singular accomplishment for a classic punk band, providing evidence that they are among the most popular punk bands ever.[63]

Danzig returned to Riot Fest in 2017 with his band, Danzig.

The newest Danzig album Black Laden Crown was released on May 26, 2017.

Musical style

Danzig's musical career has encompassed a number of genres, from punk rock and heavy metal to classical music. He is noted for his baritone voice and tenor vocal range; his style has been compared to those of Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Roy Orbison and Howlin' Wolf. Critic Mark Deming of Allmusic described Danzig as "one of the very best singers to emerge from hardcore punk, though in a genre where an angry, sneering bark was the order of the day, that only says so much. Still, the guy could carry a tune far better than his peers".[64]

The Misfits combined Danzig's harmonic vocals with camp-horror imagery and lyrics. The Misfits sound was a faster, heavier derivation of Ramones-style punk with rockabilly influences. Glenn Danzig's Misfits songs dealt almost exclusively with themes derived from B-grade horror and science fiction movies (e.g. "Night of the Living Dead") as well as comic books (e.g. "Wasp Women", "I Turned into a Martian").[2] Unlike the later incarnation of the Misfits, Danzig also dealt with Atomic Era scandals in songs like "Bullet" (about the assassination of John F. Kennedy), "Who Killed Marilyn" (which alluded to alternate theories about Marilyn Monroe's death), and "Hollywood Babylon" (inspired by the Kenneth Anger book on scandals associated with the early, formative years of Hollywood). In later years the Misfits style was noticeably heavier and faster than during their earlier releases, introducing elements of hardcore punk.

Samhain's musical and lyrical style was much darker in tone than Misfits material,[2] fusing an experimental combination of horror punk, gothic–death rock, and heavy metal. With Samhain, Glenn Danzig began to introduce more complicated drum patterns. Samhain songs often combined tribal drum beats and distorted guitars. Samhain's lyrical themes were rooted in paganism and the occult, pain and violence, and the horrors of reality.

The band Danzig showed a progression to a slower, heavier, more blues-based and doom-driven heavy metal sound primarily influenced by the early sound of Black Sabbath.[65] Other musical influences include The Doors,[66] and the ballads of Roy Orbison.[67][68] Danzig opted for a thicker and heavier-sounding guitar tone than with his previous bands, retaining his preference for a single lead guitarist and short guitar solos. After replacing the band's original line-up, Danzig began to experiment with a more industrial sound, before merging into gothic metal. Later, Danzig albums have returned to the band's original sound.

Glenn Danzig's lyrics, which had already evolved from those of the Misfits to the more serious style of Samhain, progressed even further with Danzig to become "frighteningly intense images of doom" which "convey their bleak messages with an eerie grace and intelligence".[6] His lyrics are typically dark in subject matter, bearing "a heavily romanticized, brooding, gothic sensibility, more quietly sinister and darkly seductive than obviously threatening or satanic".[69] Lyrical themes include love, sex, evil, death, religion, and occult imagery. Danzig's songs about love often deal with the pain of loss and loneliness using gothic romanticism.[70][71] Sex is another common theme, with songs frequently alluding to various sexual practices and depicting powerful, seductive and sometimes supernatural female figures. Glenn Danzig has tackled Biblical subjects and has offered his criticisms of organised religion.[72] He often promotes rebellion and anti-authoritarianism, whilst embracing independence and the left hand path. In other lyrics, Danzig deals with the subject of death and questions the concepts of evil and sin.[73]

Glenn Danzig has served as the sole songwriter for every band he has fronted, and described his writing process: "Sometimes I get the guitar lines, sometimes I write on the piano, sometimes I'll write the lyrics first and then figure out the chord patterns on guitar, and sometimes I write the drum pattern first. It's all different".[74] Danzig also records basic song ideas when away from his home: "I usually hum it into a microcassette recorder and then I transpose it when I get home and work it out on guitar or piano".[74]

Television and film

Danzig had a minor role as a fallen angel in the 1998 film The Prophecy II, starring Christopher Walken.[75]

He was invited by 20th Century Fox to audition for the role of Wolverine in X-Men,[76] as his height and build closely resemble that of the film's protagonist, as described in the original comic books.[77] However, he declined due to scheduling conflicts.[77] He later admitted that he was glad to turn the role down as he thought the final product was "terrible" and further insulted Hugh Jackman's performance, calling it "gay".[78]

Danzig guest-appeared as himself in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future",[79] where he purchased the house of the character Carl.

In February 2016, Danzig appeared in the Portlandia episode "Weirdo Beach".[80]

Directing

Danzig plays a personal role in the production of the band's music videos, suggesting ideas and sometimes directing them himself.[81] He is currently working on a film version of the Verotik comic Ge Rouge.[12] The possibility of an animated film version of the Satanika comic has also been discussed.[82]

In 2019, Danzig made his feature film directorial debut with Verotika,[83] an anthology horror film that premiered at Chicago's Cinepocalypse Film Festival that year.[84][85][86][87] The film was directed, written and scored by Danzig.[84]

In September 2019, at the Los Angeles red carpet premiere of the Rob Zombie film 3 from Hell, Danzig told interviewers that production for a new film would begin in October. He described the project as "a vampire Spaghetti western", after revealing there would not be any more Misfits tours.[88]

In 2020, Danzig announced his next film is Death Rider in the House of Vampires, which blends elements of the Spaghetti western with vampire horror. Danzig stated there would be several prominent actors in the film, including: Devon Sawa, Danny Trejo, Julian Sands, and Kim Director.[89]

In multiple interviews, Danzig cites Italian horror director Mario Bava among his directorial inspirations, along with Sergio Leone and Jean Cocteau.[90]

Personal life

In January 1992, Danzig became a student of Jerry Poteet, a martial artist in Jeet Kune Do.[27][91] Danzig has since earned a teaching degree in the discipline.[27] Danzig has also studied Muay Thai.[27]

Danzig, who is 5 ft 3 in height,[92] also developed an interest in bodybuilding:

"I've always been attracted to the Nietzschean idea of perfection, and so I began trying to perfect my body. I bought Arnold Schwarzenegger's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN BODYBUILDING and started studying. Lifting weights is just lifting weights, but bodybuilding is about sculpting the body. Nutrition is essential, and though I'd like to be eating candy and cake, it immediately settles on my hips. Unfortunately, when I'm on the road I only get to work out a few times weekly, but when I'm at home with my weights and machines I work out four or five times a week."[93]

Danzig has several distinctive tattoos, all by tattoo artist Rick Spellman, which incorporate artwork based upon his music.[94] These include a Danzig/Samhain skull symbol designed by Michael Golden,[95] a bat with a Misfits Crimson Ghost skull, a wolf's head with the text "Wolfs Blood" (the title of a Misfits song),[94] a skeleton as found on the cover art for the album November-Coming-Fire, and a demon woman as found on the cover art for Unholy Passion. His lower back features the logo for the Devilman manga.

Danzig is a fan of horror movies and Japanese anime/manga, and has expressed his appreciation for the works of filmmaker David Cronenberg and manga artist Go Nagai.[96][97]

Danzig's favorite composers include Richard Wagner, Sergei Prokofiev, Camille Saint-Saëns, Carl Orff, and film score composer Jerry Goldsmith.[98]

Danzig is an avid reader and owns a large book collection on subjects including the occult, religious history and true murder cases.[6][99][100] He commented about the book The Occult Roots of Nazism that "every school kid should have this book", though he later stated that the comment was satirical.[101][102] Danzig also has a long-standing interest in New World Order related conspiracies: "Not only have I always been interested in the families that run the world forever, that people know now as the Bilderberg Group. But there's an older book called Committee of 300 which tells you all about it. I mean, I got in trouble for this back in the 90s, talking about this kind of stuff – how the United States is based on a Freemason thing, and I got so many government files on me from that one".[103]

Regarding his political views, Danzig has described himself as being "conservative on some issues, and some issues I'm really liberal". He defended former President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban from selected countries, arguing "It's really not a travel ban. When you walk into the country, we want to see who you are and what you're doing."[104] Danzig has voiced his dissatisfaction with the United States' two-party system; stating "the bottom line is that both parties are in agreement about one thing: They don't want a third, a fourth, or a fifth party in there. They want it Democratic and Republican. Both sides are corrupt."[105]

Though sometimes portrayed as a Satanist by the media, Danzig has denied this in several interviews, elaborating that "I embrace both my light and dark side... I definitely believe in a yin and yang, good and evil. My religion is a patchwork of whatever is real to me. If I can draw the strength to get through the day from something, that's religion... I'm not trying to be preachy or tell people what to think."[7][16][106][107] Danzig has voiced his approval of certain aspects of Satanic ideologies, including the quest for knowledge and individual freedom.[106][108] He has stated that religion does not play a role in how he perceives other bands and musicians.[107]

third of four sons 7 in Lodi New Jersey His father was a television repairman and a United States Marine Corps veteran of World War II and the Korean War 8 His mother worked at a record store 9 Danzig and his family also spent some time living in Revere Massachusetts 10 11 Danzig began listening to heavy metal music at an early age and has described Black Sabbath the Ramones Blue Cheer and The Doors as being among his early musical influences 6 At age 10 Danzig began to use drugs and alcohol leading him into frequent fights and trouble with the law 12 He stopped using drugs at age 15 12 While growing up Danzig began reading the works of authors including Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe developing his appreciation for horror 13 Danzig collected comic books and frustrated by American comics he started his own company to produce crazy violent erotic comics 14 Danzig graduated from Lodi High School in June 1973 aspiring to become a comic book creator 15 and professional photographer He attended the Tisch School of the Arts and later the New York Institute of Photography 16 Danzig formed an adult oriented comic book company called Verotik in the mid 1990s 17 Musical career EditEarly career Edit Glenn Danzig s introduction to performing music began when he took piano and clarinet lessons as a child 18 He later taught himself how to play the guitar 18 Danzig started in the music business at the age of 11 first as a drum roadie 17 and then playing in local garage bands 15 He had never taken vocal lessons but his self taught vocal prowess gained him attention in the local scene Throughout his teenage years he sang for several local bands such as Talus and Koo Dot N Boo Jang most of which played half original songs and half Black Sabbath songs 19 Misfits and Samhain 1977 1987 Edit In the mid 1970s Danzig started the Misfits releasing the band s records through his own label originally known as Blank then later as Plan 9 20 Danzig had attempted to get the Misfits signed to several record labels only to be told that he would never have a career in music 21 The impetus for the band s name comes from Marilyn Monroe s last film 22 combined with Danzig considering himself to be a social misfit 2 In October 1983 after releasing several singles and three albums and gaining a small underground following Danzig disbanded the Misfits due to his increasing animosity for the other band members and his dissatisfaction with their musical abilities 2 Danzig explained his decision It was difficult for me to work with those guys because they weren t prepared to put in the hours practicing I wanted to move things forward and they didn t seem to have the same outlook So it was time for me to move on 22 After the Misfits he began work on a new band project Samhain The origins of Samhain began when Danzig started rehearsing with Eerie Von formerly of Rosemary s Babies 23 Danzig took the name of the band from the ancient Celtic New Year which influenced the evolution of the modern Halloween Initially Samhain was conceived as a punk rock super group The band briefly featured members of Minor Threat and Reagan Youth who contributed to Samhain s 1984 debut Initium The band then settled with a lineup consisting of Eerie Von on bass Damien on guitar and Steve Zing on drums later replaced by London May In 1985 the Unholy Passion EP was released followed by November Coming Fire in 1986 Samhain eventually began to attract the interest of major labels including Epic and Elektra 24 Rick Rubin music producer and head of the Def American label would see the band perform at the 1986 New Music Seminar on the advice of then Metallica bassist Cliff Burton 24 25 Danzig has credited both Burton and Metallica frontman James Hetfield with helping to raise awareness about his music I first met them at a Black Flag gig and then we became kinda friends We d often bump into each other on the road James and Cliff helped to spread the word about me and I was very grateful to them 22 Danzig Edit Classic era 1987 1994 EditIn 1987 after two albums and an EP Samhain was signed to a major label by Rubin and the name of the band was changed to Danzig to allow the band to retain its name in the event of line up changes 16 Danzig discussed the reasoning behind the name change Rick Rubin convinced me it was the way to go and would also provide me with a lot more artistic freedom After all I was now in charge of where we were going musically so if I didn t want to do something it was a lot easier to say so 22 Glenn Danzig performing with Danzig at Sweden Rock 2010 Danzig s intention at the time was for each album he recorded to consist of a different recording line up allowing him to keep working with different musicians 26 The original band consisted of guitarist John Christ bassist Eerie Von and former Circle Jerks DOA Black Flag drummer Chuck Biscuits In 1987 Danzig owing to his association with Rubin was asked to write a song for Roy Orbison The result was Life Fades Away featured in the 1987 movie Less than Zero 2 Danzig also contributed to the film s soundtrack with You and Me Less than Zero 2 Danzig had originally been asked to write the song for a female vocalist but when Rubin could not find a suitable singer Danzig recorded the vocals himself 27 The song is credited to Glenn Danzig and the Power Fury Orchestra which featured the same membership as the initial lineup of Danzig with the exception of Eerie Von Since Von did not like the way producer Rubin wanted the bass played on the song George Drakoulias played the bass instead In 1988 the newly formed band Danzig released their eponymous debut Its sound showed a progression from the gothic deathrock sound of Samhain to a slower heavier more blues based heavy metal sound In 1990 the band s sophomore effort Danzig II Lucifuge marked an immediate change in musical direction The album s overall bluesier tone and somewhat milder approach were departures from Danzig featuring a 50s style ballad Blood amp Tears and a full on acoustic blues I m the One Other projects in 1990 included the final Samhain album Final Descent The album was started under the title Samhain Grim several years prior The album contained previously unreleased studio recordings at least some of which had been intended for the Samhain Grim album before it was aborted In 1992 Danzig once again changed musical direction releasing the darker Danzig III How the Gods Kill Several songs would feature a more textured slower sound in between fast dominant guitar riffs Also in 1992 Danzig tried his hand at composing classical music with Black Aria The album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard classical music chart 28 In 1993 Danzig released Thrall Demonsweatlive an EP featuring both studio recordings and live tracks Danzig broke into the mainstream when the live video of Mother 93 became a hit on MTV and earned Buzz Bin rotation 29 six years after the original song was recorded During this time the band reached its commercial peak with both the debut album and Thrall Demonsweatlive being certified Gold and Mother becoming the band s highest charting single Both Danzig and Thrall Demonsweatlive have since been certified Platinum 30 In 1994 the release of Danzig 4 saw the band going further into a darker and more experimental sound The album also saw further development of his vocal style and range most notable in songs like Let It Be Captured and a more blues based approach on songs like Going Down to Die Also in 1994 Danzig wrote the song Thirteen for Johnny Cash which appeared on the album American Recordings 2 Later years 1995 2004 Edit Danzig at a record signing in 1996 In 1996 the band underwent a complete overhaul The original lineup had fallen apart as had Glenn Danzig s relationship with their record label American Recordings with label owner Rick Rubin s involvement as producer diminishing with each album 16 Danzig would later engage in a legal battle with Rubin over unpaid royalties and the rights to the band s unreleased songs 18 Danzig enlisted new bandmates most notably Joey Castillo who would continue to be the band s drummer until 2002 Once again he explored a new musical direction and recorded Blackacidevil this time infusing heavy metal with industrial rock Danzig went on to sign a deal with Hollywood Records which led to several religious groups boycotting its parent company Disney for signing a controversial satanic band 31 32 As a result the label pulled support for Blackacidevil and the record deal was severed 33 In September 1999 Danzig signed his band to E Magine Records becoming the first artist on the label 34 The deal also led to the release of a Samhain box set and the re release of Blackacidevil 34 Danzig s subsequent three albums 6 66 Satan s Child 1999 I Luciferi 2002 and Circle of Snakes 2004 all musically and lyrically evolved to a more stripped down heavier gothic metal sound The Danzig lineup continued to change with each album while Danzig s voice started to show change after years of touring In 1999 during the U S touring for the album 6 66 Satan s Child Danzig reunited Samhain along with drummers Steve Zing and London May Then Danzig guitarist Todd Youth was invited by Glenn Danzig to fill in the guitar position for the Samhain reunion tour replacing Samhain s original guitarist Pete Damien Marshall who had opted out in order to tour with Iggy Pop Eerie Von was not invited to rejoin Samhain due to personal issues within the band Both Zing and May handled bass duties switching from drums to bass in between the Blood Show In 2003 Danzig founded the Blackest of the Black tour to provide a platform for dark and extreme bands of his choosing from around the world 35 36 Bands featured on the tour have included Dimmu Borgir Superjoint Ritual Nile Opeth Lacuna Coil Behemoth Skeletonwitch Mortiis and Marduk Recent activity 2005 2011 Edit In 2005 Danzig s tours to support the Circle of Snakes album and the Blackest of the Black Tour were highlighted by the special guest appearance of Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Doyle joined Danzig on stage for a 20 minute set of classic Misfits songs To do this right I invited Doyle to join Danzig on stage at Blackest of the Black for a special guest set This is the first time we will be performing on stage together in 20 years It s the closest thing to a Misfits reunion anyone is ever going to see 37 On October 17 2006 he released his second solo album Black Aria II The album reached the top ten on the Billboard classical music chart 38 In November 2006 Danzig toured the west coast with former Samhain drummer Steve Zing on bass They played three Samhain

the debut album by ex Misfits guitarist Doyle s metal influenced band Gorgeous Frankenstein 40 Glenn Danzig at Getaway Rock Festival in 2011 In July 2007 Danzig released The Lost Tracks of Danzig a compilation of previously unreleased songs The project took nine months to complete with Glenn Danzig having to add extra vocal and instrument tracks to songs that had been unfinished 41 The album included the controversial White Devil Rise recorded during the sessions for Danzig 4 in response to inflammatory comments by Louis Farrakhan and his use of the term The White Devil 42 43 The song is Danzig s conjecture as to what would happen if Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up and start a race war No one wants to see a race war It would be terrible so the song s saying Be careful what you wish for 43 44 Danzig himself has bluntly denied any accusations of racism As far as me being an Aryan or a racist anyone who knows me knows that s bullshit 16 In October and November 2007 Danzig toured the western United States along with Gorgeous Frankenstein Horrorpops and Suicide City This 3 Weeks of Halloween tour was in support of his most recent album The Lost Tracks of Danzig as well as the newest graphic novel release from Verotik Drukija Countessa of Blood 45 On October 23 2007 Danzig was performing the song How the Gods Kill in Baltimore and fell off the stage injuring his left arm He did not perform the Misfits set that night 45 but he continued the tour and played classic Misfits tunes with Doyle onstage as an encore with a sling on his left arm after the injury In 2008 Danzig confirmed he had recorded the first duet of his career with Melissa Auf der Maur 46 The song titled Father s Grave features Danzig singing from the perspective of a gravedigger and appears on Auf der Maur s 2010 album Out of Our Minds 47 Auf der Maur has spoken highly about the experience of meeting and working with Danzig 47 Danzig s ninth album Deth Red Sabaoth was released on June 22 2010 48 In a July 2010 interview with Metal Injection Glenn Danzig was asked if he was going to make another Danzig record after Deth Red Sabaoth His response was I don t know we ll see With the way record sales are now I won t do some stupid pro tool record in someone s living room where all the drum beats are stolen from somebody and just mashed together and I m not going to do that if I can t do a record how I want to do it and if it s not financially feasible I m just not going to do one 49 During the later quarter of 2011 Danzig performed a string of one off reunion shows called the Danzig Legacy tour The shows consisted of a Danzig set followed by a Samhain set then closing off with Danzig and Doyle performing Misfits songs 50 During the third date of Metallica s 30 year anniversary shows at the Fillmore Theater in San Francisco Danzig went on stage with Metallica to perform the Misfits songs Die Die My Darling Last Caress and Green Hell 51 Current activity 2012 present Edit Glenn Danzig performing with Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein at Wacken Open Air 2013 Danzig has said he wishes to avoid extensive and exhaustive touring in the future preferring instead to focus on his various music film and comic book projects I don t really want to tour My reason for not doing it is because I m bored of it I like being onstage but I don t like sitting around all day doing nothing I could be home working 18 52 Danzig has started work on a third Black Aria album 53 and a covers album is set for release by the end of 2013 13 Danzig hopes to record a dark blues album involving Jerry Cantrell and Hank III 18 54 He is currently working on new Danzig material with Tommy Victor and Johnny Kelly 55 56 57 In 2014 Danzig filed a lawsuit against Misfits bassist Jerry Only claiming Only registered trademarks for everything Misfits related in 2000 behind Danzig s back misappropriating exclusive ownership over the trademarks for himself including the band s iconic Fiend Skull logo violating a 1994 contract the two had Danzig claims that after registering the trademarks Only secretly entered into deals with various merchandisers and cut him out of any potential profits in the process 58 On August 6 2014 a U S district judge in California dismissed Danzig s lawsuit 59 On October 21 2015 during an interview with Loudwire Danzig stated his current tour with Superjoint could be his last 60 On May 12 2016 Danzig Only and Frankenstein announced they would perform together as the Misfits for the first time in 33 years in two headlining shows at the September 2016 Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver 61 He later noted that he would be open to possibly doing some more shows The reunited Misfits did more shows and Danzig enforced a no cell phone policy at the reunion shows 62 The reunited Original Misfits sold out a succession of arenas a singular accomplishment for a classic punk band providing evidence that they are among the most popular punk bands ever 63 Danzig returned to Riot Fest in 2017 with his band Danzig The newest Danzig album Black Laden Crown was released on May 26 2017 Musical style EditDanzig s musical career has encompassed a number of genres from punk rock and heavy metal to classical music He is noted for his baritone voice and tenor vocal range his style has been compared to those of Elvis Presley Jim Morrison Roy Orbison and Howlin Wolf Critic Mark Deming of Allmusic described Danzig as one of the very best singers to emerge from hardcore punk though in a genre where an angry sneering bark was the order of the day that only says so much Still the guy could carry a tune far better than his peers 64 The Misfits combined Danzig s harmonic vocals with camp horror imagery and lyrics The Misfits sound was a faster heavier derivation of Ramones style punk with rockabilly influences Glenn Danzig s Misfits songs dealt almost exclusively with themes derived from B grade horror and science fiction movies e g Night of the Living Dead as well as comic books e g Wasp Women I Turned into a Martian 2 Unlike the later incarnation of the Misfits Danzig also dealt with Atomic Era scandals in songs like Bullet about the assassination of John F Kennedy Who Killed Marilyn which alluded to alternate theories about Marilyn Monroe s death and Hollywood Babylon inspired by the Kenneth Anger book on scandals associated with the early formative years of Hollywood In later years the Misfits style was noticeably heavier and faster than during their earlier releases introducing elements of hardcore punk Samhain s musical and lyrical style was much darker in tone than Misfits material 2 fusing an experimental combination of horror punk gothic death rock and heavy metal With Samhain Glenn Danzig began to introduce more complicated drum patterns Samhain songs often combined tribal drum beats and distorted guitars Samhain s lyrical themes were rooted in paganism and the occult pain and violence and the horrors of reality Glenn Danzig performing with Danzig at Wacken Open Air 2013 The band Danzig showed a progression to a slower heavier more blues based and doom driven heavy metal sound primarily influenced by the early sound of Black Sabbath 65 Other musical influences include The Doors 66 and the ballads of Roy Orbison 67 68 Danzig opted for a thicker and heavier sounding guitar tone than with his previous bands retaining his preference for a single lead guitarist and short guitar solos After replacing the band s original line up Danzig began to experiment with a more industrial sound before merging into gothic metal Later Danzig albums have returned to the band s original sound Glenn Danzig s lyrics which had already evolved from those of the Misfits to the more serious style of Samhain progressed even further with Danzig to become frighteningly intense images of doom which convey their bleak messages with an eerie grace and intelligence 6 His lyrics are typically dark in subject matter bearing a heavily romanticized brooding gothic sensibility more quietly sinister and darkly seductive than obviously threatening or satanic 69 Lyrical themes include love sex evil death religion and occult imagery Danzig s songs about love often deal with the pain of loss and loneliness using gothic romanticism 70 71 Sex is another common theme with songs frequently alluding to various sexual practices and depicting powerful seductive and sometimes supernatural female figures Glenn Danzig has tackled Biblical subjects and has offered his criticisms of organised religion 72 He often promotes rebellion and anti authoritarianism whilst embracing independence and the left hand path In other lyrics Danzig deals with the subject of death and questions the concepts of evil and sin 73 Glenn Danzig has served as the sole songwriter for every band he has fronted and described his writing process Sometimes I get the guitar lines sometimes I write on the piano sometimes I ll write the lyrics first and then figure out the chord patterns on guitar and sometimes I write the drum pattern first It s all different 74 Danzig also records basic song ideas when away from his home I usually hum it into a microcassette recorder and then I transpose it when I get home and work it out on guitar or piano 74 Television and film EditDanzig had a minor role as a fallen angel in the 1998 film The Prophecy II starring Christopher Walken 75 He was invited by 20th Century Fox to audition for the role of Wolverine in X Men 76 as his height and build closely resemble that of the film s protagonist as described in the original comic books 77 However he declined due to scheduling conflicts 77 He later admitted that he was glad to turn the role down as he thought the final product was terrible and further insulted Hugh Jackman s performance calling it gay 78 Danzig guest appeared as himself in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future 79 where he purchased the house of the character Carl In February 2016 Danzig appeared in the Portlandia episode Weirdo Beach 80 Directing Edit Danzig plays a personal role in the production of the band s music videos suggesting ideas and sometimes directing them himself 81 He is currently working on a film version of the Verotik comic Ge Rouge 12 The possibility of an animated film version of the Satanika comic has also been discussed 82 In 2019 Danzig made his feature film directorial debut with Verotika 83 an anthology horror film that premiered at Chicago s Cinepocalypse Film Festival that year 84 85 86 87 The film was directed written and scored by Danzig 84 In September 2019 at the Los Angeles red carpet premiere of the Rob Zombie film 3 from Hell Danzig told interviewers that production for a new film would begin in October He described the project as a vampire Spaghetti western after revealing there would not be any more Misfits tours 88 In 2020 Danzig announced his next film is Death Rider in the House of Vampires which blends elements of the Spaghetti western with vampire horror Danzig stated there would be several prominent actors in the film including Devon Sawa Danny Trejo Julian Sands and Kim Director 89 In multiple interviews Danzig cites Italian horror director Mario Bava among his directorial inspirations along with Sergio Leone and Jean Cocteau 90 Personal life EditIn January 1992 Danzig became a student of Jerry Poteet a martial artist in Jeet Kune Do 27 91 Danzig has since earned a teaching degree in the discipline 27 Danzig has also studied Muay Thai 27 Danzig who is 5 ft 3 in height 92 also developed an interest in bodybuilding I ve always been attracted to the Nietzschean idea of perfection and so I began trying to perfect my body I bought Arnold Schwarzenegger s ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN BODYBUILDING and started studying Lifting weights is just lifting weights but bodybuilding is about sculpting the body Nutrition is essential and though I d like to be eating candy and cake it immediately settles on my hips Unfortunately when I m on the road I only get to work out a few times weekly but when I m at home with my weights and machines I work out four or five times a week 93 Glenn Danzig signing his book at Atomic Comics in Mesa Arizona 2010 Danzig has several distinctive tattoos all by tattoo artist Rick Spellman which incorporate artwork based upon his music 94 These include a Danzig Samhain skull symbol designed by Michael Golden 95 a bat with a Misfits Crimson Ghost skull a wolf s head with the text Wolfs Blood the title of a Misfits song 94 a skeleton as found on the cover art for the album November Coming Fire and a demon woman as found on the cover art for Unholy Passion His lower back features the logo for the Devilman manga Danzig is a fan of horror movies and Japanese anime manga and has expressed his appreciation for the works of filmmaker David Cronenberg and manga artist Go Nagai 96 97 Danzig s favorite composers include Richard Wagner Sergei Prokofiev Camille Saint Saens Carl Orff and film score composer Jerry Goldsmith 98 Danzig is an avid reader and owns a large book collection on subjects including the occult religious history and true murder cases 6 99 100 He commented about the book The Occult Roots of Nazism that every school kid should have this book though he later stated that the comment was satirical 101 102 Danzig also has a long standing interest in New World Order related conspiracies Not only have I always been interested in the families that run the world forever that people know now as the Bilderberg Group But there s an older book called Committee of 300 which tells you all about it I mean I got in trouble for this back in the 90s talking about this kind of stuff how the United States is based on a Freemason thing and I got so many government files on me from that one 103 Regarding his political views Danzig has described himself as being conservative on some issues and some issues I m really liberal He defended former President Donald Trump s controversial travel ban from selected countries arguing It s really not a travel ban When you walk into the country we want to see who you are and what you re doing 104 Danzig has voiced his dissatisfaction with the United States two party system stating the bottom line is that both parties are in agreement about one thing They don t want a third a fourth or a fifth party in there They want it Democratic and Republican Both sides are corrupt 105 Though sometimes portrayed as a Satanist by the media Danzig has denied this in several interviews elaborating that I embrace both my light and dark side I definitely believe in a yin and yang good and evil My religion is a patchwork of whatever is real to me If I can draw the strength to get through the day from something that s religion I m not trying to be preachy or tell people what to think 7 16 106 107 Danzig has voiced his approval of certain aspects of Satanic ideologies including the quest for knowledge and individual freedom 106 108 He has stated that religion does not play a role in how he perceives other bands and musicians 107 Discography EditDanzig Edit Studio albums Danzig 1988 Danzig II Lucifuge 1990 Danzig III How the Gods Kill 1992 Danzig 4 1994 LP Blackacidevil 1996 reissued in 2000 with extra
