As much as I love the first four, and could have posted Danzig I, this is both my fave Danzig Album and my pick for the Classic Album.
Equal parts gothic / doom-laden and muscular.
Gods marks the moment when Danzig transcended his punk origins and staked out a deeper place in the modern music canon, patching together the influences of Dixon, Orbison, and Howlin’ Wolf into something grand. It’s a record about confronting your inner strength, testing if it’s enough to endure heartbreak and uncontrollable lust; it’s about feeling that God is failing you, and wanting the power of a god all the same.
