Not since "How the Gods Kill" has Danzig put an album out this good. "I Luciferi", Danzig's first release on Spitfire Records, is the good old ghoul rock that the earlier American Recordings albums were known for. Stripped away is most of the techno/industrial lacings from Danzig's previous "Blackacidevil" and "Satan's Child" (although some still remains) and the current lineup of Danzig's band excells at a rate not seen since the classic original lineup.

Not since "How the Gods Kill" has Danzig put an album out this good. "I Luciferi", Danzig's first release on Spitfire Records, is the good old ghoul rock that the earlier American Recordings albums were known for. Stripped away is most of the techno/industrial lacings from Danzig's previous "Blackacidevil" and "Satan's Child" (although some still remains) and the current lineup of Danzig's band excells at a rate not seen since the classic original lineup. The opening intro "Unendlich" is a creeped out instrumental reminiscent of Danzig's Son of Sam work, followed by the excellent "Black Mass" and the album's lead single "Wicked Pussycat", which although is reminiscent lyrically of Samhain material, is one of the weaker tracks on the album, but everything else goes way uphill from there. "Liberskull", "Dead Inside", "Kiss the Skull", the title track, "Angel Blake", and "The Coldest Sun" are album highlights and are some of the best songs that Glenn has ever put together. This is the album that Danzig faithfuls have waited years for. This is one of the best albums to come along in quite some time, and very well may be the album of the year. Those who had been disappointed with Danzig's later albums should definitely give a listen to "I Luciferi", you won't regret it.
I know before I get slammed, this is danzig were talking about? My favorite songs Angel Blake,Kiss the Skulls,Wicked Pussycat, Cover is better, Inside better with Hotchicks, not into S&M myself, nor the name of the album but its unapologetic, it's danzig, All new lineup(every time, since danzig 4/5)
