Rare Us only vinyl edition Get ready to celebrate a new sort of 'Sabaoth.' Glenn Danzig (the man, the myth, the muscles, the Misfits mastermind and, of course, the master of many talents, ranging from composer to comic book publisher) is releasing his first album of new material in six years. ‘Deth Red Sabaoth’ stays true to its creator’s punk roots by returning to the sludgy, borrowed amplifier cacophony of Samhain and Legacy of Brutality-era Misfits. Deth Red Sabaoth sounds like what a lot of the Samhain/Misfits fans wanted the group’s 1988 debut to be: a raw, dirty, D.I.Y. collection of comic book-inspired violence, thrust together by the unholy union of punk and metal. Opener “Hammer of the Gods” will give those fans reason to rejoice, as it serves up a perfect storm of both genres, perfectly encapsulating everything people love (and despise) about the group. The multi-tasking Danzig handled bass duties for most of the album and even played drums on the song 'Black Candy' (one of the highlights on the album). Longtime Danzig cohorts guitarist Tommy Victor of Prong, who has worked with the singer since 1996, and drummer Johnny Kelly of Type O Negative/Seventh Void, played on the album, which marks the first time Kelly — who has intermittently sat behind the kit for Danzig live shows since 2002 — has actually recorded with Danzig. The album has a natural feel, thanks to the way the iconic Danzig attacked the recording process, choosing to steer clear of studio trickery and technology. ‘I think that fans will really dig this album’, said Danzig in a statement. ‘I've been told several times that the album has a cool vitality to it, that it sounds energized, and I got that feeling when I was recording it. I wanted to have an organic sound, bigger and thicker, so I went out and bought some 1970's Kustom tuck 'n' roll bass amps to play some of the guitar parts through. You'll hear real reverb, real tremolo on this album, which sounds completely different than the stuff that's done with computer chips’. That said, one has to give credit to Glenn Danzig for trying to keep it real. Nine studio albums in to his third full-time band, he’s not doing it for anyone other than himself. Track listing: 1.
