This week we’re discussing every album by Danzig. Our buddy Matt Berlinsky from the Stone and Steel podcast joins us once again to dissect all 12 of Glenn Danzig’s solo albums—oh yes, even the Elvis one. If you haven’t heard Danzig’s first 4 records, you need to stop what you’re doing immediately and get on it. The dude was a songwriting powerhouse for almost two straight decades.

This week we’re continuing our Halloween tradition by discussing another of Glenn Danzig’s bands—this time Samhain. (Check out Episode 11 for our episode on the Misfits.) Samhain is the second and least known of Danzig’s iconic bands. They released a handful of interesting, hooky, and at times very silly records in the mid 80s. They also often performed dripping with cow’s blood because evil and whatnot. Definitely an overlooked and underrated band whose records are unfortunately out of print and not on any streaming platforms. Check YouTube.
Closing track: “To Walk the Night” from November-Coming-Fire (1986)

Episode 11: The Misfits
Happy Halloween, folks! Mike and Alex felt that there was no better way to celebrate this morbid holiday than by discussing The Misfits. While they both agree that Danzig-era Misfits was truly special, they almost come to blows when discussing the 90s lineup—much like every member of the Misfits during that time period.
