4.0 out of 5 stars Got a little Twist of Cain....., August 29, 2009

By	BK (Maine) - See all my reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well I Like It, August 7, 2009

By	A. Brown (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sort of like The Doors sandwiched between The Cult and Black Sabbath with extra cheese, Danzig is not for everyone. But any honest hard rock fan will have to admit that this is a really good record. I think it borders on great.

There's not a boring track here, and everything is produced and mixed PERFECTLY. Seriously, Rick Rubin has made some great records, but this is ridiculous.

I'm not a big Danzig fan, but I'm a big fan of this album. It has a dark, dirty, spontaneous feel, like G'N'R's Appetite For Destruction. It just works. If you like bluesy metal, you gotta love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soulfully Evil, April 9, 2009

By	Doug Brunell "America's Favorite Son" (A little south of Hell) - See all my reviews

I'm mixed when it comes to Danzig. I'm not very fond of him personally, but the man can sure write a song and sing, and this is easily his best release under the Danzig moniker.

The songs on here have a polished rawness to them you don't get on his future releases, and he seems to channel Elvis at all the right times. That's the same thing that made the Misfits' "Legacy of Brutality" so great.

If you aren't hooked by the first guitar riff, you really aren't paying attention. You know then and there that Danzig is rewriting his music history, and is doing exactly what he wants regardless of what the fans desired. You have to admire that. Fortunately, what he made was entirely rocking, which may be in part to Rick Rubin. Can't say for sure, but I think that was definitely an influence.

This release never gets old, and will stand the test of time like few others of his. Guaranteed not to disappoint Danzig and rock fans.
