(press release) 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.
"Il Demonio Nera" is just the latest project from Glenn Danzig, arguably one
of the most versatile talents to emerge from hardcore"s first wave. His
most current Danzig album, "Circle of Snakes," was released last fall; his
"Black Aria 2" CD will be released later this year, and he is getting ready
to direct "Gerouge," his first feature film for Rainstrom Productions.
"Il Demonio Nera" will be Danzig"s second DVD collection of vintage videos
"Danzig Archive De La Morte," which features videos from "Danzig 3" and
"Thralldemonsweatlive" was released in 2003.
