Danzig/Danzig II Lucifuge/Def American Recordings/1990 Cassette Review


  Danzig  are  a  band  from  New  Jersey  that  are  very  well  down  with  a  musical s tyle  on t his  recording  being  a  very  dark,  gothic,  bluesy  and  heavy  form  of  metal  and  this  recording  and  this  is a  review  of  their  1990  album  "Danzig  II :  Lucifuge"  which  was  released  by  Def  American  Recordings.

  Drums  are  all  slow  to  mid  paced  drumming  with  no  fast  playing  or  blast b eats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  metal,  gothic  and  blues  rock  together  to  create  a  sound of their  own  with  a  good  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean playing, while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  blues  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  which  are  only  used  briefly  they  use  full  chords  to  add  more  blues  influences  in  the  music.

  Vocals a re  all  clean singing  blues/classic  rock  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  occult,  and  depressing  themes,  as  for  the  production  it h as  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for t he  time  it  was  released  and you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  was  a  great  sounding  recording  from  Danzig  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this band,  you  probably  already  own  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Snakes  Of  Christ"  "Tired  Of  Being  Alive"  "Her  Black  Wings"  and  "Blood  And  Tears".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
