5.0 out of 5 stars Danzig's Best "Solo" Album, August 30, 2001

This review is from: Danzig 2: Lucifuge (Audio CD)

While most Danzig fans feel that the first self-titled album is his best post misfits/samhain work, i've always had to give "Lucifuge" the slight edge...its just a more coherent work, with more blues influence and the feel of some voodoo infested Louisina swamp. Its heavy, brooding, and definitely has (dark) soul. Songs like "Killer Wolf" and "Pain in the World" slow down the tempo while losing none of the heaviness, while other tracks like "Long Way Back From Hell" and "Snakes of Christ" show that he's still capable of rocking in that Sabbath-esque way so prominently displayed on the first release. The real standouts here start off the second half of the album. "Devil's Plaything" begins beautifully and then evolves into an ominous, powerful rocker, while "777" displays an evil blues sound that you don't hear much from metal acts. Its probably one of my all-time favorite Danzig songs. "Blood and Tears" is almost like a '50's ballad, and its great. Glenn can really sing, and his vocal range is on full display here. Don't get me wrong, the first one's awesome, but in my opinion, the third incarnation of GD's dark vision reached its peak with this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars "gonna dance in the death of light", January 27, 2004

This review is from: Danzig 2: Lucifuge (Audio CD)

If Jim Morrison and the devil collaborated in the studio this would be the result...and it's not bad. Some of the tracks here are straight up metal-but not too heavy-and others have a more classic rock sound; all of which feature Glenn Danzig's seductive vocals. The most classic rock 'n roll sounding tracks are "I'm the One" and the slow "Blood and Tears." The latter would've even been appropriate for an Elvis album. My favorite track is "Tired of Being Alive" which you can hear a clip of from the above link. It has an addictive rhythm you can't help but move your feet too, plus it has excellent backing vocals. "Girl" (my second favorite) also has an amazing beat with incredible guitar and "Morrisonian" lyrics like "Girl let's climb too high for the stars to reach us girl." Then there are songs to turn the lights out to like "Killer Wolf" and "Pain in the World." And then there is the beauty of metal in "Devil's Plaything." A mixed yet solid package that fans of the darker side of rock 'n roll will enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Demonic Emotions of the Soul!, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Danzig 2: Lucifuge (Audio CD)

This album contains the basic elements which, I feel, cause such an apeal with Danzig. Relitively simple music, which bears similarities between "The Doors", and "Black Sabbath", all topped off with the haunting voice of Glenn Danzig. Danzig II, along with his other albums seem to be structured off of sheer emotion. A demonic little tidbit which stimulates the evil in us all through the chilling scream of Danzig, right down to the little miniature additions made by John Christ and Eerie von. The result is sheer brilliance. The first two songs almost serve as a summary of his last album, with "Long way back from hell" making musical reference to "The Hunter" and "Snakes of Christ" paying homage to its "Danzig's" (the album) "Twist of Cain". Danzig II: Lucifuge is a perfect addition to the demonic collection that bears the name "Danzig".
