Danzig is set to return with his first album of entirely new material in seven years, Black Laden Crown, on May 26th via Evilive Records/Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Today saw pre-orders for the nine-track effort go live, and they come with an instant download of lead single “Devil on Hwy 9”.
The track is classic Danzig, with riffs going from palm-muted to sonic squealing as drums thud out an intimidating rhythm. “Devil to the metal, let that engine roar,” wheezes Danzig. “Got a hundred miles left of gas/ Keep your eyes on the line, don’t you waste no time.” This is some metal metal, folks, so take a listen below.
In addition to the new album, Danzig will spend the summer celebrating the 25th anniversary of Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. He’ll commemorate the occasion with an as-yet-unannounced tour, which includes his own Blackest of the Black Festival. Held May 26th-27th in Silverado, California, the fest will feature Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, Ministry, Suicide Silence, Discharge, Atreyu, and an immersive torture experience. (For real.)
