"IF you are a Danzig fan: you probably won't like this.



IF you think all Danzig music is dull heavy metal: you might like this.



IF you like contemporary classical music: you will like this.



Suprised? So was I. I enjoy the Misfits, I even liked Samhain and some of Danzig's solo work. But I LOVE this disc. It is some of the evilest sounding music I have ever come across. Think of "Night on Bald Mountain". Yes, Danzig, never one to be hamstrung by what audiences or critics expect of him, has turned out a modern CLASSICAL masterpiece! Something of a cross between darkwave synth and a Wagnerian opera, this obscure gem is well worth owning. Would make a great soundtrack to your all night Dungeons & Dragons game, haunted house or Halloween party!"

An interesting experiment

"I'm not a fan of heavy metal and so was a bit skeptical when a friend recommended this album to me ("Danzig? You know I hate heavy metal...").



When I was finally able to track it down I was glad I'd spent the time to do so. It's not "classical" per se (more synthesizer than much else and the repetitive themes do get trance-inducing, but maybe that was an intent...?), but it's good nonetheless. Great backdrop for rainy-night RPG sessions."
