Danzig - II Lucifuge (1990)

The Evil Elvis of dark rock forges new black pathways on the bands follow-up to the impressive self-titled debut, only this time the fumes are richer and the images distinctly more gothic and suave as the man with the devilish pipes preachings and rants through more shock horror tracks, bestial blues metal black-veiled tales. The storytelling is dramatic here, the album far more twisted than the debut, at times punkier and certainly a whole black aeon smarter, losing itself in its own wet coils,'Long Way Back From Hell', 'Killer Wolf', 'Her Black Wings' and 'Devil's Plaything' are rampant vampyric legions sailing into the night under the leering Moon. This is real heavy metal for the new black masses, venomous, soul-baring rock 'n' roll that breathes sweat, blood and glory and leaves you bound, wanting more.

8/10
