The Roseland Ballroom's 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. You can feel the guitar riffs and drawn-out refrains deep in your chest, but Danzig's Elvis-like voice has a surprisingly cathartic effect. The songs of Norway's Dimmu Borgir sound like turbocharged chants from the Middle Ages, with raspy verses and captivating orchestral passages — they'd be perfect for a horror-movie soundtrack. Portuguese metalheads Moonspell wield guttural screams and driving bass lines, while Winds of Plague and Skeletonwitch bring more variations on the theme.
