While doubters, critics and cynics have admittedly dogged Danzig's sub-par studio ventures over past years, Deth Red Sabaoth should silence them all, rocking roaring riff thunder and righteous vocal indignation from left channel to right.
The most curious aspect of the record is the think 'n swampy '70s vibe to both the guitars and Glenn's vocals; a far cry from both the Danzig band's industrial outings, as well as their recent, heavier efforts from the past few years. This warm, analog sound lends the songwriting of Deth Red Sabaoth a huge upper hand, lifting the band's simple, blues-based licks into something simultaneously ethereal and blood boiling. In other words: there's some kind of black magick afoot here on Deth Red Sabaoth, and it's some powerful ju ju, indeed.

It certainly silenced and pleased me to hear Danzig reach back to original form. Unfortunately, from the sound of things coming from recent interviews with Glenn, this may be his last ‘Danzig’ album.
