After the Misfits and Samhain, Glenn Danzig had one more beast to unleash, and in 1987 in Lodi, New Jersey, he built it out of the bones of Samhain. The classic Danzig lineup had Glenn himself singing and playing keyboards, John Christ on guitar, Eerie Von on bass and Chuck Biscuits on drums, and the sound was pure gothic menace wrapped around bluesy, slow-grinding metal, served up with a black cape and a bad attitude.

The self-titled debut in 1988, on American Recordings, delivered "Mother", a sinister, stomping anthem that a live version later turned into a major hit, along with "Twist of Cain". Danzig II - Lucifuge followed in 1990 with the brooding "Her Black Wings". After 1994, the band became a revolving door around its leader, with players like Joey Castillo and Tommy Victor among many passing through, and Danzig 777: I Luciferi in 2002 brought "Wicked Pussycat". By 2023 the band had put out 12 studio albums, two of them made up entirely of covers.
