This 2 disc release spanning the bands career from Pre Danzig 1 through to the satans child cd is pretty much a no brainer for any Danzig fan.The first disc concentrates on the earlier(classic line up)material, 13 gems that for one reason or another didn't make it on to any of the albums.It kicks off with two tracks brought from Glenns Samhain days, opening rocker"pain is like an animal"and one of the stand out tracks for me the classic vibe ridden"when death had no name".On into the Lucifuge and Gods kill sessions, classics including "Angel of the seventh dawn" and "you should be dying"are among a cover of T-Rexs song "Buick Mckane" which is done well but is maybe more of a grower then the rest.Toward the end of disc 1 "white devil rise" and "come to silver" an acoustic track written for then label mate Johnny Cash along with the more experimental "Deep" is a diverse and fitting end to a flawless collection of tracks recorded by a band in it's prime, worth the money alone.
Disc 2 depends where you're coming from, for me the albums recorded with christ von and biscuits are hands down the strongest works Danzig has put out to date and so the second part of this release isn't half as memorable as the first, don't get me wrong i like Danzigs later works just not as much as the early stuff.Having said that, songs like "bound by blood" "malefical" and "dying seraph" have plenty of Danzig dark vibe and the up tempo ozzyesque "soul eater" are enough to assure you'll throw on the second disc,just not as often.Try and pick up the LTD edition format of this as it includes some nice cover art a comic book style booklet with band pictures and a few lines on the origin of each song by the man himself.All in all a must for the long term followers of the dark one like myself, for the young and uninitiated maybe try "How the Gods kill" or any of the first 4 cd's first.

I'm assuming that you're already a Danzig fan if you're looking at this collection from his unreleased back catalogue. First observation, some of Danzig's recent albums have been vulnerable to the criticism that, though differing from each other, the tracks were a bit homogenous, i.e., samey. Because this collection covers the breadth of Danzig's history, throughout the recording of different sessions, it completely sidesteps this issue. It is, of course, one of their most internally diverse releases. This is important because even more recent tracks which might have been lost among others on the albums for which they were originally intended inevitably stand out more in their own right when placed in this context. (Tip: Place your whole Danzig collection on random play, certain tracks stick out a lot more that way.)
Next point, you might be wondering before buying if this is all the scraps left over from previous sessions, i.e., second-rate stuff. Definitely not! Glenn Danzig himself makes it clear on the sleeve notes that tracks were previously unreleased for a variety of reasons, often merely because they didn't fit in with the rest of an album, or because of opposition from Rick Rubin the original producer. In other words, many of these are clearly better than many of the previous Danzig material, and in some cases they may include some of Danzig's very best songs. These are really good quality tracks. There are also a few interesting cover versions, Buick McKane is a classic.
I think this selection might even appeal to people who are new to Danzig, but it is certainly a "must have" for existing fans. There are a lot of tracks, most of them completely unreleased, even the alternate versions of previously issued tracks are worth having. If you like Danzig, especially if you want more of the earlier stuff, you definitely won't be disappointed. I felt I was getting a lot for my money, it almost sounds like a double-disc of "best of" material, but most of it was totally new to me.
The only criticism I have is that the photos of Glenn wearing black marigolds and the topless girls in the booklet just looks really silly and doesn't do justice to the quality of this band, it might prevent people from taking the music as seriously as it deserves.
Anyway, if you're not sure, just buy it; it is one of their best and full of stuff to keep you interested.

Of note on this double cd are the songs that are atypical Danzig, "I Know Your Lie" sounds like Glenn's take on "Liar" by Rollins Band, the vocals on this song as howled as you will hear, "Cold Cold Rain" is "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" meets Procul Harum, "Lick The Blood Of My Hands" could be a P.J. Harvey song, T Rex's "Buick McKane" features some searing guitar by John Christ, other songs are prototypes & acoustic or alternative versions of known Danzig album tracks.
There are odd weak links, "White Devil Rise" (apparently written in response to a Louis Farrakhan speech) features a poor vocal & naive lyrics, but this double cd is no filler.

Some lost, some remixed, some available, some covers
I am really looking forward to this release, but having seen the track listing, while there are some mouthwatering prospects, there is also a sense of disappointment. Read more
