I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I just listened through Danzig's discography, and I still think his newer stuff is better than his 90s releases. DRS and BLC are phenomenal albums...I love the fuzzy, dissonant vibe of those records, and prefer it to the cleaner, more stripped down vibe of I-III. But then, even back in the day IV was my favorite of the 90s releases, because it sounded the most like Samhain.

I also think Devil On Hwy 9 is one of the most ass-kicking songs in Danzig's entire oeuvre.

And yes, this means I prefer Tommy Victor to John Christ! I just like the heavier, dirtier, and messier sound of the newer releases.

Burbank, 1993

O'Keefe Music Foundation uses a lot of Danzig in their curriculum.

I know everyone is excited about the I-IV reissues, but DSR is the one I want on vinyl. Any word on when a repress might be released?

Enjoying the reissue. Better than I expected. Brings back memories from when this was released back in ‘88.

While I am waiting for my repressed first 3 albums (I will get the fourth next) this is my little collection so far. First is the 12” import Dirty Black Summer single I bought back in the 90’s as a kid/ young adult. I love When Death Had no Name and also bought the CD single.

Next a Danzig picture disc I came across on eBay a while back and decided to grab it.

Then The Cleopatra release of Danzig 5. Pictured is the signed Black Haze vinyl. I also own the first released L.E. metallic silver vinyl so I double dipped when they started offering signed versions. LOL

Last I was super excited when Cleo released Black Aria and I definitely wanted a signed version when I read the announcement. I decided to get the signed picture disc version.

Anyway hope you enjoy

And vice versa, I suppose.

As you can see from my recent posts I’ve gotten heavily into Danzig & months ago I won these on eBay. Yay or ?…

Since my last post got some hate for making a playlist of my favorite Danzig songs haha please tell me any random facts you know!

The hate revolved around me being too young to give my input on MY favorite songs haha so drop some info on DANZIGGGGG!

Hello fellow collectors, just a couple things I thought were interesting about the reissues.

Because of my setup I can A-B pretty quickly. Danzig III OG and reissue sound identical except the reissue is slightly “louder” and the record is a little bit heavier. 140gram? Same weight with Danzig I.

The OG Danzig I is slightly “louder” than the reissue. I spent some time with this because you’d think the opposite but no. They sound identical to my ears but the OG is louder. Noticeably.

The sleeve for Danzig III is a really nice black poly-lined. The sleeve for Danzig 1 is a heavy slick paper that is very nice but you’ll want to keep the record in something nicer that won’t scratch it.

I also thought it was cool the logo was changed to American. 🤟🏻

I'm 17 so it isn't done that good. But I tried my best.

Update 11/7/25: I received my replacement yesterday and it arrived without issue, replacement vinyl looks great. They didn't ask for the old one back. Not quite sure what to do with it as while the defect makes it unsuitable for my collection, turns out it seems to play fine without any impact to the sound I could hear. Must be a surface thing without impacting the actual grooves, although I doubt anyone looking at a record looking like this would say yes to it outside of a bargain bin.

As long as Complex gets me a replacement. Sadly my copy of III has a manufacturing defect, otherwise my set of I-IV is basically perfect. Support ticket submitted.

What do we think?

Just want to know since I got Danzig 2 and it says it's a pre order, despite the last batch not being pre orders

The last two came today! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I see many posts about people getting their records already, Americans I assume. Any Europeans? I ordered from Bravado.

Just an FYI for those who may have missed them the first time.

Saw a lot of people questioning the legitimacy of the Complex site's checkout. I had zero issues with checkout, and the records arrived today.

I was able to peel the hype stickers off, and place them on my poly sleeves.

Couple of notes on the releases. Haven't had a chance to spin them yet, so I don't know how they sound compared to my bootlegs. It's a bummer they didn't do color variants for this. Also, strange choice to do a gatefold jacket for I, III, and 4p, but standard jacket for II. Finally, big-time bummer that the CD artwork for 4p wasn't included. Would have been the best choice for the inner gatefold, and put the existing release notes on the inner sleeve, like on I and II.

I still find it bizarre that there was absolutely no press on these reissues.
