This celebration of dark, mirthless metal is not for the faint of heart — or weak of ears. Glenn Danzig's eponymous musical incarnation headlines, blasting out raw, full-bodied rock 'n roll that bleeds with emotion. The guitar riffs and drawn-out refrains echo deep in your chest, but Danzig's Elvis-like voice has a surprisingly cathartic effect. The songs of Norway's Dimmu Borgir are more like turbocharged chants from the Middle Ages, with raspy verses and captivating orchestral passages — perfect horror-movie soundtrack fare. Portuguese metalheads Moonspell blend guttural screams and driving bass lines, while Winds of Plague and Skeletonwitch bring more variations on the theme.
