Upcoming Video: Hair Metal!

-
In this video, I will go over the significance of "hair metal" to the genre of Heavy Metal as a whole. I will also go over my history with the genre (from incredible scorn to lavish praise of a select few bands in a few short years), as well as what I think the label means and what is and what is NOT hair metal, despite the general public's perception.

I am not sure if this will be a series of videos or one, but watch for it soon!

Danzig as you probably know being the former singer of bands The Misfits, Samhain and his eponymously named band, Danzig. After a disappointing series of releases from 1996's Blackacidevil to 2004's Circle of Snakes, Danzig has finally come full circle to an album that recalls (in various ways) what many consider the "classic" lineup (1988-1994). While the recent albums had their moments, there was something missing from them that was obvious. Danzig's vocals in particular were produced in a way that made the listener assume that his voice had degraded over the years. Live shows didn't show this degradation per se, so it was obvious to many that some of the albums seemed rushed or "forced".
