Danzig's second release is also their most diversified. They explore their
blues roots with a couple of
boogies, a slow shuffle, and a slide number, throwing in a '50s-reminiscent
ballad in
waltz time for good measure.
Glenn Danzig's theatrical vocals don't prevent these numbers from working surprisingly well (except when he attempts a Mississippi Delta accent on
"Killer Wolf"), demonstrating his talents and range of expression as a vocalist. The simple, somewhat standard
blues-metal riffs of their debut are here (
"Snakes of Christ" is a flat-out rewrite of
Danzig's
"Twist of Cain"), but not as plentiful, making the record more interesting and listenable.
"Her Black Wings" ranks with the band's best songs.
