5.0 out of 5 stars An overview of the recordings of an overlooked artist, February 4, 2001

By 

"nachtnoir" (The Abyss) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 6:66 Satan's Child (Audio CD)

OK, an overview first. In the beginning there was "Danzig", the self titled album, a blues oriented rock music. Then "Danzig II" followed the same vein, more bluesy guitar, more howls, better writing. Following that was "How the Gods kill", a slight departure, but similar enough to keep the fans happy. With the fourth album, aptly titled "4", Glenn tried to grow a little, and do something different. In my opinion, an exceptional attempt. What is wrong with growth and a little change? Some fans didn't like it. I loved it. The fifth album, "Blackacidevil", brought Glenn the opportunity to go even further, and try even more experimentation. Whether, the old band quit, or was fired, or was called to the pits by the dark one, Glenn needed new allies. Enter Joey Castillo, Joseph Bishara, and Josh Lazie, a new band, a new sound. Gone is the bluesy guitar, to be replaced with a more electronic modern sound. But the song writing here is still exceptional. This album was to be yanked summarily from shelves by Danzig's then distributer. Down, but not out, Glenn shopped for another. And in a short time one was found. "666: Satan's Child" is the first album Glenn and friends have recorded with the new company. But this time, Glenn tries to merge his former sounds together. The bluesy guitar with the techno thump. A new sound emerges, and this is wonderful. 5 finger crawl, unspeakable, 13, Lilin, heck all the tracks on this album rock. Though this isn't exactly "Danzig II" or "Blackacidevil" it is the best of both.

3.0 out of 5 stars It'll Grow On You..., February 11, 2000

This review is from: 6:66 Satan's Child (Audio CD)

On my initial examination of this album, I was disappointed. The cover artwork and photography is hackneyed and cliched, and the tracks, from first to last, lacked the originality and verve that hallmarks all of Glenn's previous offerings; from "Cough/Cool" to "Blackacidevil" (a MUCH better album than most seem to think, one of the finest in the Danzig canon, in my opinion), Glenn's presence was obvious. Not so here. At least, not IMMEDIATELY. Despite the continuing downward spiral of Glenn's lyrical imagination, a few gems can be unearthed here nonetheless, most notably the urgent "Unspeakable", and Danzig's own take on "Thirteen", the track written for, and recorded by, Johnny Cash in 1994 ("Come To Silver" on the "Blackacidevil" album was also submitted to Cash, but rejected in favour of "Thirteen") - although I feel that Cash's version is superior. Many reviewers have lamented the departure of the other members of what I suppose should be considered the definitive Danzig lineup (Von, Biscuits, Christ) since the split from American Recordings, but they really shouldn't be too surprised since Glenn has been chopping and changing his band lineups throughout his career, and although Castillo and Lazie do not stamp their mark on this album with as much authority as the previous Danzig incumbants, they do what is required of them with considerable aplomb. Yes, this album is derivative of all of the acts mentioned elsewhere in these reviews (Korn, Rob Zombie etc.), and yes, this is a shame for long-time fans since all other releases by Glenn Danzig escape any comparison or classification other than simply "DANZIG", but new listeners will find that this album is an album ultimately worth owning, although I would hasten to advise that anyone new to Glenn's work should try ANYTHING else that he has recorded other than this first in order to maximise their appreciation of this unique talent. It IS his worst effort to date, but "poor" by Glenn Danzig's standards is still "pretty damn good" by anyone else's, and as I said, it'll grow on you...

5.0 out of 5 stars Danzig cracks his little whip with "Satan's Child, 6:66", November 30, 1999

By 

S.T. Holt (Beyond the Seventh Gate) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 6:66 Satan's Child (Audio CD)

It's been three long years... Danzig's latest release provides fans with his most unique sound to date, a culmination of all his past achievements. From the molten depths of Hell, Danzig emerges wielding 6:66. Like the blackest Katana, Danzig's Metal has been folded, hammered, and heated many times-only to be made stronger. Again Danzig shows why he is years ahead of the genre. Danzig's throaty, hardened, vocals lead the heavy guitar ladened 6:66 juggernaut. Danzig truly flexes his vocal muscle, showing his range and anger, with every track driving, pounding, and punishing the listener. Danzig is the only artist able to encapsulate arduous pain and suffering and make it sound so good. "Cult Without a Name" is a glorious unholy marriage of Danzig's previous endeavors of albums one through five. "East Indian Devil" reaches into the recesses of man's Id with its primordial tribal beat. "Cold Eternal" is a gripping surreal ballad. "Five Fingered Crawl," "Unspeakable," "Belly of the Beast," "Apokalips," "Firemass" and "Satan's Child" all railroad you over like a possessed runaway train. "Lillin" is a slow brooding, restrained, animal. While "Into the Mouth of Abandonment" truly embodies Danzig's "attitude." Finally "13" brings closure to a masterpiece that could only have the name Danzig tatooed on its neck. So tighten your crown of thorns and get ready, because from Danzig's first bleeding howl to his last gutteral whisper, the addictive 6:66 will leave you beckoning for more. ...Lucifer has "Satan's Child" on his steam driven turntable echoing off the cavernous walls of the abyss, while minions Morrison and Presley rake in the burning coals fantasizing about being crucified by "6:66"...the wait is over.
