CD Danzig – Danzig III – How The Gods Kill

Originally released in 1992, Danzig III: How The Gods Kill stands as a definitive masterpiece in dark, blues-infused heavy metal. Marking the moment Glenn Danzig transcended his punk origins, this third studio album features the "classic" lineup—Eerie Von, John Christ, and Chuck Biscuits—delivering a bigger, denser, and more visceral production than its predecessors.

The album is legendary for its brooding atmosphere and Glenn Danzig’s "Evil Elvis" vocal delivery, which blends raw power with a somber, Roy Orbison-inspired tenderness. From the occult-like anthem of the opening track to the delicate, haunting strings of the romantic ballad "Sistinas," How The Gods Kill explores themes of inner strength, heartbreak, and divine confrontation.

Key features of this iconic release:

• Standout Tracks: Includes the hit title track "How The Gods Kill," the aggressive "Dirty Black Summer," the dark opener "Godless," and the blues-heavy "Heart of the Devil."
• Historic Artwork: Features a modified 1976 painting, The Master and Margarita, by the legendary Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger.
• Classic Production: Released on American Recordings, the album showcases the band gaining total creative control, resulting in a heavier, more atmospheric sound that cracked the Billboard Top 30.

A must-have for collectors and fans of dark, influential metal, this reissue preserves the sinister sincerity and powerhouse instrumentals that make Danzig III a staple of the modern music canon.
