"I was at Andy Sneap's studio in England these last few days and we put the final touches to the album - it is now mixed and mastered and ready to be delivered to our record labels…finally! Yes, it took longer than we anticipated, but listening to it now…it's such a big step up for us - on every level. I am excited about the songs, the production and overall ÜBER-METAL feel of this new album!!! It's definitely been worth all the hard work!"

Danzig DVD In July

press release reports: Attention, purveyors of All Things Danzig: "Il Demonio Nera" (The Black Demon), a brand-new DVD collection of videos, video outtakes, alternative versions and previously unreleased material from DANZIG"s Danzig 4 (2000) and Danzig 5 (2002) projects, will be in-stores on Tuesday, July 12.

Personally combing through the Danzig vaults, Glenn Danzig chose the tracks for the "Il Demonio Nera" DVD which offer a variety of versions of Danzig classics such as "I Don"t Mind The Pain," "Serpentia," "Cantspeak" and "Until You Call on the Dark." Danzig"s choice of directors for these videos was certainly inspired: Dean Karr, who directed the video for "Until You Call on the Dark," went on to direct Marilyn Manson"s "Sweet Dreams" video and Iron Maiden "Rock in Rio" concert full-length; and the never-before-released video for "Serpentia" from Danzig 5, was directed by E. Elias Merhige who helmed the feature film "Shadow of the Vampire starring John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe.[see full story for more including track list]- Click Here for the Full Story
