Danzig Heavy Metal Band 5 Stars Worthy Review

Danzig Heavy Metal Band 5 Stars Worthy Review

The Danzig band was founded by Glenn Danzig. He is the song writer and lead singer for this band. As noted in his music, Danzig has a deep fascination with the occult. He formed his Danzig band in 1987. Well, I think that is enough side info on this band. In any case, "Mother" was the first song by Danzing that I heard. It was part of the Guitar Hero 2 soundtrack. Overall, the song is about hell. The speaker warns both the mother and father of what their daughter is doing. Like the speaker, she wants to find hell with him. He promises her that he will show her how its like. The start of this song is pretty cool. The electric guitar was something else.




 Recently, I got around to watching the "Mother" music video. It is basically in black and white. The music video starts with a quotation from a super boring book called The Pilgrim's Progress. The lines were: Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven. Like in the song, the music video was about hell. During the guitar solo, Danzig sacrificed a chicken over the hot mother's body. That is the basic sacrifice for most satanic rituals... or so I have been told. Then again, just about any sacrifice religion has chickens as a basic sacrifice. In any case, this song deserves 5 stars rating.  

Now, let us review my three other favorite songs by Danzig. The next one that I like is "Thirteen". This song describes the life of a very unlucky man. Not only is he unlucky, but he brings bad luck to others. He was born "in the soul of miser". He never even had a name. They simply gave him a number when he was young. The speaker got the number thirteen tattooed on his neck because 13 is a bad luck number. For being a song about bad luck, Thirteen is pretty cool. I like the low mellowed tonality of this song. I first heard it as part of the background music for the Hangover 2. It really fitted the doom and gloom mood of that movie. In any case, Danzig's "Thirteen" deserves 5 stars rating. 

The next song worth rating is "Black Hell". This song too appeared in the Hangover 2 movie. Whenever it starts raining, I think of this song. Danzig's deep voice works wonders for this song. It also emulates well the low reverberating sounds of the electric guitar. Like most of Danzig's songs, this one too is about hell. The general idea is summarized in these lines: If there's a demon in your brain / I think it's time to let it out again. Overall, "Black Hell" is one piece of work. Truly, a 5 stars worth Heavy Metal Song.

The last song worth mentioning is "Blood and Tears". This song is unlike the usual Danzig music. It is a metal balled of sorts. It is also my favorite rock ballad. The song is about a guy singing to his girl. She has just left him. However, he hears that she had been crying. He tells her that she does not need to despair. She has been suffering so much that there is blood in her tears. These bloody tears is a reference to the Virgin Mary. Many of her images cry tears of blood. My favorite lines are "You cry a thousand tears/ Darling don't despair/ I know your heart still bleeds / Darling don't you care /There's blood in your tears." The guitar of this song is also very beautiful. Truly, "Blood and Tears" is a 5 stars worthy song. I hope that you liked these songs I rated.
