You know what? I like this better than the Misfits records Danzig put out and I know, I know, they are really influential but I felt that they were a muddy, ugly mess. This one sounds to me like Jim Morrison fronting an early 70s sludge metal band but amped up on just enough cocaine to speed up the sludge while auditioning to be the soundtrack for a WWF (WWE?) tv show.

I know this is an EP but it’s credited as an “album” and it’s Danzig’s last one with this band, one I’ve not thought much about or cared for. They should be scarier or better musicians but, in the end, I think they don’t even live up to their quite excellent logo. This whole thing sounds like it was recored live, in one take, during someone’s lunch break.
