Black vinyl with gatefold cover

Glenn Danzig returns to his immediate post-Misfits roots withthe stripped-down Circle of Snakes, an 11-track chunk of brutalitythat forgoes the murky alt-metal and industrial meanderings thatmarred many of his mid-to-late-’90s offerings. The revival of thefour-piece basement-heavy attack of his 1988 solo debut is awelcome one, and fans who went willingly with the artist after hiscontroversial punk departure will find solace among familiar “comicbook” themes — and very Misfits-esque titles like “Skull Forest”and “1000 Devils Reign.” Tommy Victor’s heavier than seems humanlypossible guitar works serves as the bedrock for Danzig’s JimMorrison on “Bald Mountain” croon, and when they find their groove,like on the needle-in-the-red “Night Besodom” and “Black Angel,White Angel,” and the riveting title track, the results areelectrifying. Where the album fails is in its formulaicsongwriting. Danzig’s lyrics have always worked best when the beasthe’s battling grins back at him, and the “so morose they’re bland”themes of death, evil, and “blazing skulls” are in such abundancehere that one yearns for the appearance of a flesh-eating zombie,blood-soaked wolf, or sexy vampire dominatrix to break thefirst-person gloom of it all. Circle of Snakes is definitely areturn to form, but it’s also a retreat from the sinister andcerebral punk metal stylings of the era it’s trying to emulate.
