"After listening to the Misfits collection 1 back in 1988 or 1989 I immediately tracked down this self titled cassette from Danzig. What you get is a stripped down blues metal album with demonic overtones. I personally love the production that Rick Rubin gave this album. This is the first album that Glenn Danzig appeared on that really brought his vocals to the front of the mix. Glenn has a deep bluesy sound but his voice has a great range. The drums from Chuck Biscuits are awesome. You hear every hit he makes and it thunders in your chest. Chuck knew how to really add drums to Danzig rather than just following the simple rhythm. John Christ has great guitar tones that are truly unique and compliments Glenn's vocals perfectly. There is not one bad song on the album. The album starts with Twist of Cain which sets the mood well. The album varies in tempo from the slower "She Rides" to the faster pace of "Mother". If you like dark music with a hard edge (this is not GOTH) then I highly recommend you pick this up. As a long time Danzig fan, I still revisit this album often but Lucifuge is still my favorite Danzig album!"

Danzig,s great first album!!

"glenn danzig,s first solo album simply titled ;Danzig was released in 1988.by the time glenn danzig released this album he had been in bands like the misfits and samhain.for the first few great danzig albums glenn gathered together a very good band in members such as;john christ-guitars,erie von-bass and chuck biscuits-drums to back his his soulful vocal style and excellent dark lyrical themes! also noteable is the fact this album was produced by famous rock producer rick rubin who has produced albums for such greats as the red hot chili peppers,acdc and the cult.teaming up with rick rubin was a good move and the results showed in songs such as;twist of cain,she rides,am i demon,the hunter,soul on fire and mother to name a few.the album cover is very cool with the demon skull which definately fits glenn,s dark lyrics.for my tastes this album and danzig 2 lucifuge are 2 of danzig,s greatest,so if you are a fan you know this album and lucifuge are must haves!play this loud!!"
