"The Lost Tracks of Danzig" is a two-CD set comprised of 26 previously unreleased gems that Danzig recorded during the seven album "arc" that began with 1988's classic "Danzig." The release date is May 29.
Not "B-sides" or "throwaways," these rarities just didn't fit "vibe" of the albums they were originally recorded for.
GLENN DANZIG talks about a few selections on "The Lost Tracks of Danzig"
"White Devil Rise" - Finally seeing the light of day is a song Rick [Rubin] suggested I write in response to some inflammatory remarks made about the white race by Black Muslim leader Rev. Louis Farrakhan. It is about the white race rising up and answering his call for a race war. It was never finished in time and I even recorded another version for 'Danzig 5' that had also remained unfinished.
"Satan's Crucifixion" - Originally intended as a joke Rick Rubin and I wanted to play a joke on [then] Def American VP Mark DiDia. He asked Rick and I not to make another 'satanic' Danzig record, so I wrote this track after Rick suggested the title. We sent it to Mark and told him it was the lead track for 'Danzig 4P.' Needless to say, he about lost his mind. I still laugh when I think about it.
"Deep" - An alternate take of the song I gave to 'The X Files.' It was supposed to be on 'Danzig 5' but in the end didn't make it onto the 'X Files' soundtrack because Disney got spooked.
"I Know Your Lie" - Did this one alot at rehearsals and couldn't wait to record it. In the end, it didn't make it onto the '6-66' CD because I think we played it so much I got sick of hearing it.
