CRITIC REVIEWS

Paste

It’s not just that his powerful basso profundo voice has lost some of its profundo from decades of use, it’s that the music and vocals can’t gel like they could when the mix is so imbalanced like this. They sound like two separate entities roughly slapped together.

Pitchfork

Black Laden Crown is Danzig’s strongest album in some time, because he’s mostly built it around his own limitations.

AllMusic

It marks a return to the brooding, largely midtempo, blues-based biker horror jams of yore, with a smattering of doomy, Samhain-era malevolence tossed in for good measure

Consequence of Sound

Danzig’s new selection of songs may work for gloomy gatherings, but it falls short when it comes to building on the group’s previous legacy.

The songwriting is certainly not poor and Glenn’s voice is far from shot, but what makes this album so average is the combination of the lazy arrangements and the poor production which makes the album sound as if the veteran vocalist is singing over a backing CD.

I mean at least it has a really cool album cover going for it.

Almost like mustard and yogurt. The vocals and the instruments don't match.
