'Sabaoth' with Danzig
Danzig will bring a little hellfire to North Shore Friday with a show at Stage AE.
The metal band, which toured for its 20th anniversary three years ago, is back with "Deth Red Sabaoth," its first proper studio album since 2004's "Circle of Snakes."
It's led by 55-year-old Glenn Danzig, who greeted the world in the iconic late-'70s horror-punk band The Misfits and moved onto the more metallic Samhain in the early '80s, before doing nine albums as Danzig starting in 1987.
The singer recently told Aquarian Weekly why he got into this in the first place: "Back in the day, we hated disco and FM arena rock records by these terrible '70s bands, and we just wanted to bring it back to being exciting and crazy. We wanted to see all the cool [stuff] back in the music; we wanted cool record covers again, we wanted to bring all that crazy energy back, because it was lacking. And it ended up having a big impact."
