Danzig: "Danzig 4" - 30 Years On


Listen Later

"“Son of the Morning Star” follows and channels “How the Gods Kill” from the previous album, with its slow heartfelt beginning before breaking into the heavy blanketed second half of the song with John’s striking solo leading it out. “I Don’t Mind the Pain” moves back into a mid-tempo pace drawn along by Glenn’s vocals leading the atmosphere of the song. “Stalker Song” is another beauty, moving in and out of that slow maudlin tempo again, the great combining of guitar and bass here with the perfect input of drums helps give Glenn a terrific base on which to croon at his best throughout.

“Let it Be Captured” backs back into the low-tempo track, which is interesting because of the fact that, inspired by accusations that their songs contained hidden Satanic messages, the guitar tracks for "Cantspeak" are those of "Let It Be Captured" played in reverse. John Christ explained in an interview how Eerie Von had the idea of playing one of our songs backwards, but in the end, they became so obsessed that they were trying to play "Let It Be Captured" backwards, which ended up creating a whole new song, "Cantspeak". Well, that’s one way to do it!"


On this episode we are going to talk about “Danzig 4” by Danzig, the band’s 4th studio album released 30 years ago this week, on today’s episode where ‘til the coin that I pass to the ferryman’s grasp lets me leave my pain behind’ on Music from a Lifetime.
