> DANZIG
Glenn Danzig has reached massive commercial success not just once, but thrice.
He formed horror punk pioneers Misfits, who’ve been a standing influence on scores of punk and hard rock bands ever since their formation in 1977. In 1983 it was time to develop things with Samhain, a band that fused Misfits punk rage, dark heavy metal, plus brooding goth and new wave-vibes. In Samhain, Danzig would form a musical partnership with bass player Eerie Von and guitarist John Christ – both of whom followed Glenn when the band Danzig was formed in 1987. The line-up was completed by drummer Chuck Biscuits and the rest, as they say, is history.
With eight full length albums and tons of hits – 'Mother', 'Twist of Cain', 'Devil’s Plaything', 'Dirty Black Summer', 'How the Gods Kill' among others – in their catalogue Danzig will finally be making their debut at Sweden Rock Festival.
