The follow up to the well received debut album continues on in much the same vein. If anything, this gets a bit heavier and a bit faster (I shy from using the term ‘rockier’).
Probably for the first time, Danzig cross into a territory where they can be listened to by a number fans from different genres. The fact that they do this without compromising their own style is a victory for their music.
For me, the album starts off fantastically with “Long Way Back From Hell” into “Snakes of Christ” and then “Killer Wolf”. All three songs blend together excellently, and kick the album off well.
Probably my main gripe with the album is that for me it just slows down at the end too much, when it could continue on an upward spiral (that given that it does actually click back into gear for the final 60 seconds of “Pain in the World”).
This was another step up for Danzig, who proved here you can appeal to the masses without tinkering too much with the furniture.
Rating: Moody musical madness. 3.5/5
