Danzig is an American band that fuses dark lyrics and imagery with blues-inspired heavy metal music. The band serves as a musical outlet for singer/composer Glenn Danzig. The band can be seen as the third stage in Glenn Danzig's musical career, preceded by the horror punk band The Misfits and the band Samhain. On July 14, 1986, Samhain performed what was to be their final show, at The Ritz in New York City.
