Danzig will stop in LA for Halloween show

Glenn Danzig will hit the road beginning in late October for a handful of live concert dates on both the East and West coasts. Joining Danzig on these dates will be bassist Steve Zing (Samhain) and guitarist Todd Youth (Danzig, Murphy's Law); former Misfits axe man Doyle Von Frankenstein and his new band Gorgeous Frankenstein, will support on all dates.

Glenn and Doyle have been in the studio recording Doyle’s first solo album, “Gorgeous Frankenstein,” which Danzig produced and will release on October 16 on his label, evilive. According to Glenn, he and Doyle recorded “eight blood-curdling tracks” that include “Man or Monster,” “Devilgirl,” “Reverse of God,” and “Made In Hell.” The two played all instruments on the album.
These Danzig dates are also in support of “The Lost Tracks of Danzig,” the two-CD set that was released May 29, as well as Glenn’s limited edition book “Drukija, Contessa of Blood,” loosely based on the legend of 17th century vampire, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, and illustrated by long time collaborator Simon Bisley. “The Lost Tracks” is comprised of 26 previously unreleased tracks that span Danzig's entire career and were originally recorded during the band's seven-album "arc" that began with 1988's "Danzig."
Long before Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson or Guns N' Roses, there was Glenn Danzig. Danzig is arguably the most versatile talent to ! emerge from hardcore's first wave -- a graphic designer, photographer, comic book publisher and composer who writes all his bands' music. His songs have been covered by Guns N' Roses, Metallica and My Chemical Romance. He's written for Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. Glenn Danzig has received many titles, from the Godfather of Dark Metal to a man of integrity, but most agree that over his three-decades career, his intense musical and lyrical statements have left a permanent mark on rock music.
Founder of the Misfits, that band pioneered dark horror/hardcore punk and has become a seminal band of the genre, despite only six years and a few albums. The goth metal-punk band Samhain quickly followed and in just another few years became a noted outfit. Darker than Samhain, Danzig's music evolved into a potent mix of gothic metal and blues with a Satanic twist. In 2006, the ever-surprising Glenn Danzig released his second classical album, "Black Aria 2," which debuted in the! Top Ten - imagine, the Godfather of Dark Metal keeping co mpany on the Billboard classical chart with Itzhak Perlman and Andrea Bocelli.

Follows are the confirmed Danzig east and west coast dates. Other than these shows, Danzig has no plans to do any touring in the foreseeable future.
