[edit] Name of Upcoming Danzig Studio Album

I removed an incorrect statement that Danzig's next studio album may be called Danzig 9 or Danzig IX. Glenn has said many times that 777 was the last Danzig album to be numbered, as that completed the cycle, which is why Circle of Snakes is not known as "Danzig 8".

[edit] Darkest Album?

Currently, the article states that I Luciferi is Danzig's darkest album. I disagree, I think Danzig 4 is his darkest. Even Danzig 6, while not nearly as popular, is darker in tone than 777. However, I will agree that 777 has some of his darkest songs, such as The Coldest Sun. Any thoughts?Skullord 23:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Unless its blatantly obvious that an album is much darker than any other the band has made (possibly The Cure's Pornography) it would be POV to even suggest it. For a band like Danzig it doesn't seem appropriate to label 1 album "darker" than the rest. marnues 03:45, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Merge with Samhain ? Discuss.

Although the band Danzig is an evolution of Samhain, I think there's enough distinction between the two bands to warrant them each having their own page. I think most people view the two bands as very different entities. Besides, if we merge Samhain and Danzig, then one could argue that we could merge The Misfits and Samhain. And if that were to happen, then why not merge all three bands with the Glenn Danzig page? Skullord 20:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed:

[edit] Compare to

• The Misfits
• Prong
• Samhain

For the reasons why, see Talk:Fiona Apple. Tuf-Kat

[edit] Black Aria and other.

Why are Black Aria and Black Aria II included in the discography? Both are solo albums by Glenn and not a band endeavor. Both are also clearly accounted for on the Glenn Danzig page as solo albums.

I wouldn't object to their removal. Skullord 05:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

So I'm pretty much new to Danzig (I love the Misfits though) but I'm having a problemwith thier genre. It seems that most people on the internet try not to touch the subject. Here it currently states Heavy Metal (Doom on one album). But it seems to me that they fall square into the alt metal genre. Am I way off? marnues 05:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to whoever changed the genre to include alt metal for me but now I see that what I thought was alternative influence is really just hard rock. So much tha I'm not sure if I should even call Danzig a heavy metal band or a hard rock band. marnues 20:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Genre classification is really subjective. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal covers them pretty well. Alt Metal seems to describe bands like Tool and Janes Addiction.Cannibaltom 03:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
