Get ready for a vinyl revival! The iconic Danzig albums are back, and they're here to stay. Universal Music has just reissued the first four Danzig albums on vinyl, and it's a treat for both die-hard fans and those new to the band's dark and captivating sound.
This campaign marks a significant moment for music enthusiasts, as these albums have been long-awaited and highly sought-after. Originally released under Rick Rubin's Def American Recordings, these records have never been officially repressed on standard vinyl until now.
But here's where it gets controversial... Danzig's self-titled debut, also known as 'Danzig 1', seems to have already sold out in the US. This album, containing fan favorites like 'Mother' and 'Twist of Cain', was Rubin's first full-length release on Def American and has been a highly bootlegged record since its original release in 1988. The only official release prior to this reissue was a disappointing picture disc in 2007.
The subsequent albums, 'Danzig II - Lucifuge', 'Danzig III: How The Gods Kill', and 'Danzig 4P', while darker and less commercially successful, have remained critically acclaimed and beloved by the band's dedicated fan base. These reissues are currently available and ready to be added to your collection.
As for future Danzig releases, Glenn Danzig himself has made it clear that he's moving away from the traditional album format. However, he hasn't ruled out the possibility of releasing singles with his band or even the Misfits. The last album of original material under his name was 'Black Laden Crown' in 2017.
So, vinyl enthusiasts, don't miss out on this opportunity to add these iconic albums to your collection. You can order the Danzig reissues via uDiscoverMusic, and be sure to check out the product photos below.
