<![CDATA[NEW MUSIC]]>DANZIG – “Deth Red Sabaoth.” The ninth album from the legendary king of death-blues metal. Danzig’s best album since the classic Danzig 4, features Tommy Victor (Prong) on guitars and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative) on drums, playing some of the best and classic sounds to ever be recorded by Danzig. Black magic rituals and satanic sacrifices are what this songs remind me of, “Pyre Of Souls Pt. 1 & 2” are a death-blues tour de force that start out in the chambers of hell before turning into a 7 minute metal masterpiece. “Ju Ju Bone” is a satanic blues rock anthem, “Rebel Spirits” has a vintage amp sound with deeper darker tones and with old style guitar solos. “On A Wicked Night” starts with a swirling acoustic guitar theme that releases a dark satanic melodic explotion that gives way to slow ominous power chords. The album cover is also a beutiful masterpiece done by Joe Chiodo. Overall the album is a dark and haunting piece of art with violent musical aggression that takes you to the dark side, welcome back Danzig.
