good stuff..modern day Danzig. the cd is Danzig slowly returning to form. keep in mind its not quite 90s Danzig, the classic lineup isnt there..so you wont get Danzigs "classic 90s sound" now danzig has tommy victor handeling guitar..hes from prong and ministry. victor can be messy with his solos, if your familiar with Danzigs last cd "Circle of snakes"..youll see how messy victors playing can be. but Danzig 9 - Deth red sabaoth is a more focused album, then "circle of snakes". "Circle of snakes" had a samhain vibe.."Deth red sabaoth" sounds like a focused Danzig album. but..the production is better, making the album easier to listen to
As A Danzig fan A MUST HAVE!!! Alot better than Glenn's last solo outing 2004's "Circle of Smakes". A STRONG return to form for Danzig. Let's hope it's not another 6 years before Glenn and Crew release the follow up. "Hammer of the Gods" and "Deth Red Moon" are destined to become Danzig Classics. Hopefully the line-up stays around for a while. Steve Zing (as any fan of Glenn Danzig and his EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE body of work knows, the original drummer for MY FAVE Danzig incarnation THE MIGHTY SAMHAIN) working with Glenn again is an added touch of KICK-ASS!! Deth Red Sabaoth is one MONSTER of an Album. It's the Indy "Death Magnetic"! DEFINATELY METAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!
Danzig at his best, in My opinion. Named after the arcane spelling of Sabbath, there is something about this music that stimulates dark elements within. Detected are a little bit of Misfits, a bit of Samhain, with an evocatively morose, melodic voice, heavy, deep rhythms, One can hear the wolf underneath the full moon, feel the cool night gusts upon the flesh, the strength of body and mind merging as one. One can visualize these canticles being performed by a fire on a wicked night. Dethred Sabaoth is a veritable resurrection, touching base with the primal rebirth elements, granting impressions of Lucifuge and Danzig 1, moving forwards in reverse for core empowerment & subsequent evolutions. Feel & hear the demon winds... The Mistress of Darkness there beckons, awaiting your indulgence; Grasping a candelabrum like a pitchfork, horned skull thereupon. She will lead you through a dark journey, in a steady progression, facing the abyss within, lighting the way towards an emergence in hellfire. 1. Hammer Of The Gods: An Invigorating introduction into the nightmarish, timeless unorthodoxy. Can you feel it? 2. The Revengeful: An almost muted, mesmerizing heavy beat overlain with squealing guitars and a rhythmic refrain. 3. Rebel Spirits: Double-bass accents this echoing reverberation to the tune of a heartbeat, concluding with a trailing somnambulence. 4. Black Candy: Falls right into the fray with more of,a concentration on harmony, actually using a single high pitched chord as part of the procession. 5. On A Wicked Night: An acoustic piece which one could picture being sung by a campfire, suddenly pushing into a memorable collaboration of the electrical instruments. Favorite. 6. Deth Red Moon: A definite favorite of this opus. A howling refrain accompanied by a steady beat, subtly accompanied by tambourines, & dramatic pauses. 7. Ju Ju Bone: A stronger focus on harmony, a memorable chorus, and extensive guitar work, where the instruments seem to be telling the story, with blending rhythmic vocals complementing them. 8. Night Star Hel: A sinisterly choppy beat, with driving waves overlapping, eventually cresting into a swifter hoof tapping beat. Another favorite. 9. Pyre Of Souls (Incanticle): A contemplative piece. Shades of Black Aria 2 here, with a stalking bass added & melancholy refrain, finger cymbals, much like a lullaby. An introductory instrumental to the next song... 10. Pyre Of Souls (Seasons Of Pain): Continues the previous song & picks up the harder version of the rhythm of Incanticle. 11. Left Hand Rise Above: Sounds like the retrospective conclusion of the story at the contemplative pace of an aftermath. One can definitely hear the implementation of harder elements herein, from song construction to the more appropriate technology used, in order to achieve a certain overall apocryphal sound, which is accomplished. A perfect combination of horror, the occult, & erotica. Some of the best things in life.Read full review
Having heard and fully enjoyed this album, but sleeping on buying myself a copy for some reason, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Newbury Comics still had a few copies including Danzig's autograph up for grabs. This is without a doubt Glenn's finest work since 1994's 4p. Don't be fooled by the first single, "On a Wicked Night", which is in my opinion the weakest song on the album. The autograph is on a secondary booklet as the high quality digipak is still sealed.
I was not a big fan of the "new sound" of Danzig after "how the Gods kill", but I heard this album was mor like thier old stuff, so I wanted to try it out. Better than the latest stuff, but a definitely not as good as their old stuff, I get bored of this album easily, unlike the old albums which I can listen to over an over again and never get bored.
