Defintely not being sarcastic. I truly like BlackAcidDevil the best out of all Samhain/Misfits/Danzig.

My favorites for Danzig go 3,4,5 in that order and I’ve always liked blackaciddevil way better than most do. Honestly the music sounds like 1000 Homo DJs’ first EP imo
I don’t hate Blackacidevil (anymore, at least).
It’s what put me on a near 15 year Danzig strike, though.
But upon revisit, yeah, it’s not nearly as bad as its reputation.

Well, all right, then.
I certainly don’t understand it, but I respect your opinions.
So I listened to a little of blackaciddevil on YouTube after this thread and though it’s ok, I don’t like it as much as I did at the time. Pity, used to love that album.
Turns out Dave Lombardo is playing drums for the Misfits after all.

That rules.
Hope they can put together a proper tour.
You see the [url http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/misfits/2016/national-western-complex-stadium-arena-denver-co-23fc7037.html]setlist from last night?
Damn.

Damn.
That’s a great set list
Fuck, that’s pretty much a perfect set list
So first it was Faith No More.
Then Guns N Roses.
Now Misfits.
How long until Al gets back together with Paul? And Connelly?
Facebook says this year
Picked up Hidden Lyrics Of The Left Hand Volume II at my local comic shop. It’s pretty cool. it was 29 bucks. I see schmucks on ebay trying to unload it for over 100 Dollars. Don’t pay that.
Slightly off topic…can anyone tell me about Samhain; I mean I know it’s way more “raw” than Danzig and even some Misfits; just loud punk. Any recommendations?
Samhain sounds like Danzig demos that generally have faster bpm. I would start with either Final Descent or November Coming Fire and then Initum. (You can skip Unholy Passion, it’s basically an EP for Final Descent) Good luck finding them though because people want an arm and a leg for them on Ebay because they’ve been out of print for quite sometime now. If you can get 'em for 20$ a piece consider that a good price. Unholy Passion is on ebay right now (4 songs) 25 and 45 $ with still some time to go before bidding is over. November Coming Fire is 10.50 but there’s still 9 days of bidding to go.
What Grmpy said. Alternately, you can think of it as a slower, grimier, gloomier Misfits with keyboards. It really does kinda bridge the gap between bands and Samhain itself gradually changed over the course of its existence (their final album basically morphed into the sessions for the first Danzig album).
Pissed at myself for selling the boxset I had, with all their albums + the shitty live video and weird comic book about the band fucking a girl to death.
It’s interesting to hear Twist of Cain from Samhain, after knowing the Danzig version. I like the edgy sound of it, whereas the Danzig, more refined and well produced. It’s almost like listening to a demo of what the final version ended up being (Possession too).
Thanks for the suggestions. Will check it out.
How is Danzig’s stuff after Lucifuge/4?
you’re right Samhain is very much unpolished Danzig
Danzig, Danzig II “Lucifuge,” Danzig III “How the Gods Kill,” Danzig “4p” are all solid Gold you can’t go wrong with any of those albums. After “4p” though it’s really hit or miss. For my 2 cents the next best two albums after the “4p” are Deth Red Sabaoth and Black Laden Crown with BLC being the better of the two.
The albums from Danzig 5 up to Circle Of Snakes have decent songs here and there but nothing fantastic. Danzig 5 “BlackAcidEvil” and Danzig 6:66 “Satans Child” he tried techno and it ges about as well as yuo would expect, and Danzig 777 “I Luciferi” and Circle Of Snakes are very Nu Metal. Deth Red Sabaoth and Black Laden Crown are a return to the hard rock roots from Danzig 1-4
…
I checked Discogs you can get the Samhain CDs for a little over 20 bucks there. If you’re looking for specific songs to try I would say try:
Unholy Passion
The Hungry End
I Am Misery
Mother Of Mercy
To Walk The Night
Human Pony Girl
Archangel
