Music reviews of Earth A.D. & Die Die My DarlingMusic Review: Very Different From thier Previous Albums
Glenn Danzig was never known for complex musical arrangements but I feel that in his early days as a performer he had something to offer. With his first band, THE MISFITS, Glenn introduced the punk world to monsters, evil, and chaotic music that I feel was the heaviest punk at the time (1977-83) had to offer. I myself am not a huge punk fan but THE MISFITS to me stood on thier own from the whole scene. I don't think any other band sounded like them. "Earth A.D." was released in 1983 and was the last record they would make that meant anything. It opens up with the title track and drags you into the dark and disturbing mind of Danzig. "Earth A.D." sounds as if the hordes of hell are let loose. We then move into "Queen Wasp". After a generous amount of feedback, you are punched in the face with a devastating guitar riff played by Doyle. Glenn's ever present howling opens this track into vampire women and death with a ferocity that cannott be matched. Moving right along, we next hear "Devilock" which again pummells the listeners ears into submission. "Death Comes Ripping" sounds just like the title and "Green Hell" is a prototype to METALLICA with it's devastating downstrokes. Now, we have "Mommy, Can I go out and Kill Tonite?". One of the best. Halfway thru the album, we move onto "Wolfbslood". My guess is this little ditty is about turning into a werewolf. Hence the lyrics, "it's wolfs blood and it's pumping like it's f***ing in my veins and I feel my vertabre shaking". Cool stuff. "Demonomania" is a short thrasher that takes no prisoners and then we are treated to "Bloodfeast" which to me is a precurser to Glenn's next band, SAMHAIN. "Hellhound" is a virtual monster from the depths of hades that gives out no mercy and expects none in return. I should mention that "Die, Die my Darling" and "We Bite" were not originally on this album. As well as "Mommy, Can I go out and Kill Tonite". I believe these were singles, if I'm not mistaken. With the invention of CD technology and remastering techniques, "Earth A.D." needed an overhaul. It did get it on this particular release and that is great. When I first heard this album, I had borrowed it from a friend in high school and I thought that there was something wrong with his copy. So, I went out and bought it, and it sounded the same as his. It wasn't until it came out on CD that it's full effect was felt by me unfortunetly years after it was originally released. Personally, I love this album and is a most needed addition to fans of extreme music. As far as the sound on the CD goes it is so much crisper and clearer and in no way loses any of it's awesome power. All the dirt is still there. It just sounds a lot better. I should also point out that Glenn's lyrics on "Earth A.D." are his most twisted and venomous. In his long career of 31 years he has never matched the lyrics of this album. It sounded like he was a demented serial killer on the rampage. I wouldn't doubt that even SLAYER thought he was nuts. THE MISFITS last album with Glenn Danzig is a blood-spattered platter of punk in it's most evil and primitive form.
