Danzig - Black Laden Crown

I think it is very safe to say that this blog and a whole sub genre of  Punk wouldn't even exist without Glenn Danzig! With that said, this is his latest offering from his solo band Danzig. There has been some complaints about the production of the album but, musically, I think this is one of his best albums since the first 4! I am loving this later day Danzig as the songs just shine despite bad production. Now, I am not one to complain about something so small but, could you imagine if these songs were cleaned up a bit? This album has a Sabbath feel at times in the pacing of the songs as, as he gets older, he still finds ways to rock! As for the legendary voice that spawned a million bands? Still as strong as ever! He is getting older and no, he doesn't sound like he did 40 years ago on those Misfits recordings but, no one would! Your voice changes with age and his still sounds good all these years later. So, for fans new and old, grab a copy as the songs on here are really freaking good! Best Danzig album from beginning to end in years! I cannot really pick any standouts as the quality in the songs are there! I don't think we should ever wait 7 years for a new album of originals ever again by Danzig! So, the king is alive and well, hail to the king!
