The musicianship are also on a high level. So there are few revolutionary ideas here, but the combination of the basic elements including the occult subject matter and the generally dark atmosphere of the album are what makes the difference. The tracks are relatively simple vers/chorus structured songs with a few riffs, a powerful catchy chorus, and a guitar solo. No less than four videos were shot for the tracks 'Twist of Cain', 'She Rides', 'Am I Demon', and 'Mother', which probably make those tracks the most known tracks off the album, but there are several other quality tracks featured on this debut album like 'Not of This World', 'End of Time', 'Possession', and the cover of the blues standard 'The Hunter'. The music is dark, heavy, and hard rocking and the often occult subject lyrics provide the album with an even more gloomy atmosphere. Glenn Danzig more than ever before sounds like a combination of Elvis and Jim Morrison and his voice and singing approach suits the music perfectly. Stylistically the music on the 10 track, 40:56 minutes long album is a departure from both the sound of The Misfits and Samhain as all punk/hardcore influences are shed and instead a blues based hard/heavy rock sound is introduced. 'Danzig' has a pretty interesting release history, as it was initially relatively commercially successful, but 5 years after it´s release sold even more copies due to a live version of the track 'Mother' being included on the 'Thrall: Demonsweatlive (1993)' EP and a video version of the track receiving heavy rotation on MTV.

The remaining part of the lineup consists of guitarist John Christ and drummer Chuck Biscuits. Samhain bassist Eerie Von is also a member of Danzig.

Before Samhain, Glenn Danzig was the vocalist in horror punk act The Misfits. Danzig was formed in 1987 by lead vocalist Glenn Danzig after his former act Samhain disbanded. The album was released through Def American Recordings in August 1988 (it was the first release on the then new Rick Rubin owned label). 'Danzig' is the eponymously titled debut full-length studio album by US heavy rock act Danzig.
