Live Metal
He’s back! No, Jason Voorhees is probably busy hacking unsuspecting camp counselors to dogmeat. Leatherface can’t break away from his family’s "Texas style” lunchmeat business and Norman Bates is likely laid up on some psychologist’s couch working out family problems.

He’s back! No, Jason Voorhees is probably busy hacking unsuspecting camp counselors to dogmeat. Leatherface can’t break away from his family’s "Texas style” lunchmeat business and Norman Bates is likely laid up on some psychologist’s couch working out family problems. Glen Danzig is a lot more interesting anyway and besides, how many of those fictitious mass murdereres-cum-antiheros have the Elvis-modeled croonin’ and thrustin’ down like Mr. Danzig?
It's been two years since Danzig played his final gig with his previous outfit Samhain, a band that always seemed tike a better idea than an actual band. While Danzig applied an inherent intelligencia to horror imagery first charted out on the much celebrated Misfits, weak musicianship long proved a major drawback in the guitar and drum departments. Given a tidalwave of newfound popularity via Metallica's public adulation of Mr. Danzig’s efforts, the time is right for Glen’s aural horrorshow to resurface. Enter celebrated Slayer/Beastie Boys/Public Enemy cohort Rick Rubin, with whose aid Danzig has honed his sacrificial chainsaw to do damage like never before.
