THE LOST TRACKS OF DANZIG - GLENN DANZIG
“The Lost Tracks of Danzig” is a dark holy grail for followers of the lone-wolf icon who was spooking parents when Marilyn Mason was just a pup. Listening to the romantic whispers and minimal guitar in a newly found track like “Bound by Blood,” you hear the bloodline pulsing through other in-love-with-death acts like Type O Negative. The set works well as a history lesson, although its dirge-and-dreary atmosphere makes the double album extremely linear. Finally seeing daylight are “White Devil Rise” (an edgy response to Louis Farrakhan’s call for a race war); “Satan’s Crucifiction,” which was penned as a joke on a Def America VP; and an acoustic version of “Come to Silver” written for the original man in black, Johnny Cash. After listening to Danzig warble for many minutes, we’re convinced that Jim Morrison’s voice has reached its next level of reincarnation. Billboard
