Warthur
Danzig's debut album is darker and more sinister than much of the hard rock and blues that informs it, and substantially more minimalistic than a lot of heavy metal. It's a difficult beast to categorise, but the unique sound created by producer Rick Rubin is good for one thing: shining a spotlight on Glenn Danzig's voice. Danzig's vocal performances were, of course, a highlight of the classic Misfits lineup, and his Samhain project continued to refine his goth Elvis/undead Jim Morrison style, so it's only appropriate that the project that bears his name sinks or swims on the strength of his lungs. And with rants like Mother to deliver, Danzig shouts up a storm. That said, I can't say much of the rest of the album holds my attention quite like Mother does.
